First Nice Watch

[matthop53]

So I joined the forum a few months ago to educate myself on Rolex’s. I have always wanted a submariner and had my heart set on a no date 14060M.

I prefer the vintage style and size of earlier watches and didn’t want anything flashy. Eventually after looking around I just didn’t feel confident enough to buy a used Rolex either online or private party. I had a local dealer quote me a price on a used one which was basically new msrp.

Dismayed I began looking for alternatives. That’s when I found the Omega 60th anniversary collection and specifically the Seamaster. I know some find this to be “fake” vintage, but this watch had everything I was looking for. It’s the right size, clean lines and dial and will be a perfect one watch for daily wear.

The watch arrived today and am extremely excited. I don’t think I would have had the same feeling with a used Rolex.

Pictures to follow when it’s light out and bracelet is sized.
