A Zenith El Primero and . . .
. . . an Omega Aqua Terra are more dissimilar than alike, and fill different requirements, so they're not really directly comparable.
My purely subjective response would be in favor of the Aqua Terra, but that's because I already own an EP and because I can still (barely) justify acquiring another sports watch. I'm favorably disposed to the latest movements from Omega based on personal experience, and would like to own one.

Seeking Your Proposals
Hi, I wanted to throw out a request for some ideas on what to look at next as an addition to my collection of 5 keeper watches. I am in mid process of shedding 3 others that I currently no longer wear. Currently, I believe that 6 watches is the max that I...
Thanks...
SalmanQ8, Thanks for sharing your thoughts, albeit briefly. I have considered a AP Royal Oak, but..1) It is right at or beyond the upper end of my price range. 2) I don't think they have much lume and only has 50 meter water resistance 3) I fear dinging t...
Hi Bob :-)
I'm sure an 15300 could be found well below your budget which belonged to fellow Purist however I do agree if you were to dive with it beyond 50m then it is an issue, about the dings, well I can tell you frome experience its pretty hard to do that unless ...
I agree with the vintage Sub comments
Depending on current collector desirability and fashion, you can find a vintage Submariner with a lot more history, rarity, character and interest than a modern watch, and for around the same price. Certainly well under your budget. Definitely worth consi...
At 50% of your budget limit . . .
. . . one choice could be the latest Aqua Terra from Omega . . . . . . which not only fulfills every requirement, but comes with a technically adept movement capable of delivering exceptional performance. Pushing the available budget to the limit allows t...
Similar question brought by photo
Dr. No, Apologize to interject but you are to be the best Purist to ask. Which watch would you prefer? The Omega Aqua Terra pictured above in your post or the Zenith El Primero 36,000 pictured below. I ask because these are the targets of my next acquisit...

Thank you
Your opinion is invaluable and is greatly appreciated. I will inform you on which timepiece I decided on.
maybe an independent?
The MIH watch seems to tick off most of your boxes, it has a nice friendly complication (annual calendar) that is new to your collection, a black face and brushed finish. Or a Saparneva Moon. Best Andreas...
Hi Bob!
How about the Reverso Squadra? You already have a JLC in your collection, but it would add a square shape! The Home Time would add the GMT function. Best Blomman...
SomeThoughts
Obviously there is shape.... Cushion Shaped (Panerai, Anonimo etc.) Rectangular (JLC Reverso, Bell & Ross etc.) Tonneau (Cartier Roadster etc.) There is also Functions... Chronograph GMT Alarm Day, Date Annual Calander There are also other Brands Anonimo ...
How about a green crystal milgauss?
Not a common watch, very wearable and practical, and keeps the SS theme. Also, if you can stand a long search, the Istituto Idrografico Marina by Longines; a beauty with lots of budget room (I wish I could find one!). Good luck!
Someone needs a chronograph....
best for the money is a Daytona, overall... IMHO, but clearly there are more interesting/personal choices... but a chrono is in great need here! Other chronos I like: AP RO (not ROO) chrono. Many dials to choose... JLC Master chrono in RG--spectacularly g...
A chrono is a definite possibility
Mostel (and others), Part of me fully concurs with you that a Chronograph would make a fine addition. THe AP was just way above my budget. I did look at the Chopard but it has 50 m WR and I liked the Zenith better. I also have considered a Habring Chrono ...
Actually, think you better specify if the <10k budget is for new or pre-loved
I personally feel that something from Panerai could suit your book. Have to think which one though. And also depending on your reply to the above question. Best, Horo
Which above question?
Horo, Which above question are you are referring to (there were a few)? Thanks, Bob
The bottom line ...
Hi Bob, I think Horo is referring to your budget. Are you willing to look at used/pre-loved pieces? Your budget of up the 10K will stretch a lot further if so. Depending on your currency of course. ;-) A
Now I understand...
Horo/Andrew, While I prefer a new watch and well cared for used watch is indeed possible. My proposed budget is firm. I would like to keep it under that figure of the US Peso ( . Regards, Bob
