Just got my first Omega. Thoughts?

Hi,

I was waiting for this one and was debating between Explorer 1 and this.
Walked to AD, tried and bought...



What do you think?

Just saw this in the flesh tonight- very nice, congrats! FWIW, I think it can coexist with an exp1 in a collection

No, that one is in the standard collection. there is a trilogy version which has high polished parts and is smaller diameter.

Hearing you loud and clear brother ( he says in a hushed voice ) .I think the non LE Railmaster is a winner , & can see this watch being a sleeper until it's discontinued , then sit back & see the scramble to buy one & the inevitable price hike .
