Purchase Advice

Hello,

Can I seek purchase advice ... which is better looking and expected to hold value better ... omega seamaster 300m white dial on strap or omega nekton on strap?

Also ... what do you think of omega collection that has black planet ocean 46, seamaster chrono 44 blue, and 2021 36th America Cup?

Thanks

I won't comment on the value retention part, but I think the white dial 300m on rubber is a lovely piece. I'm personally not a fan of the bezel on the Nekton.

Allare great watches and hold there value about the same. I think it comes down to personal preference.

So is there agreement that white dial is better looking than the Nekton?

Is the Nekton being inspired by Rolex YM makes it have no true identity?

No - it depends on who you ask, and more importantly what do you like?

I’ve tried the nekton on (Maybe others haven’t) and it’s a lot nicer in the metal than pics. Your best bet is to try on and make your own mind up.

300m white dial is really nice. Seems really popular of the 300M.

Not a fan of the Nekton at all.

I like the 2021 America’s cup, but way too thick. Seems like too much overlap between the 2021 America’s cup and the chrono 44 blue within the same collection. But that’s just me.

I just picked up the America's Cup and while it is somewhat "thick" it is very wearable given its short lugs. If it is something that interests you, you should try one on (if you can find one!) and see for yourself!
