Gold watches are super nice. But I'm perfectly okay with steel!

Not a big fan of daytos, hulks, gmts and SDs in general but if tweaked while staying within the lineup.. Change the white dial dayto to the black Change the Hulk to a Kermit or a 114060 Change the Pepsi to that discontinued 2-tone YG GMT (I'm a child of the 80s) Retain the Batman (not a big fan and I actually prefer the all black but that's going to look like a sub) Retain the SD (not a big fan of the bezel but can't turn a blind eye to that dial and that complication) .. and I might have a hard

I’m also puzzled by the Trilogy set value and can only blame Omega for the limited edition game they have been playing. The Rolexes may be higher volume than some Omegas yet more “desirable” but anyways....let’s not get into the resale discussion. In terms of quality, I think both are comparable so it’s good for people who appreciate your favorite brand 😂

The trilogy pieces are awesome. The SD is interesting but unfortunately way too bulky. The GMT’s are very useful. Thanks for sharing this cool steel group! Alex

Actually the SD at 42mm is quite ok even for my almost 7” bony wrist. The Trilogy bracelets can be a little better if it’s got some tapering and less bulky clasp. You’re welcome Alex.
