Horological Meandering

Unfair to post on either forum so post in HoMe. 5 vs 5....Which side do you prefer? ...  

I’ll take the blue Sky dweller

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 t... 

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 term... 

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.

Great to hear the SD wears so well! I once tried it and seemed immense due to the bulk, although the diameter is very ok in theory. Maybe I need to try it on again. Thanks again and have a great day! Alex

Have a great weekend. Cheers 🍻

Main attractions are the Sky-Dweller and the 50th anniversary Speedmaster with shoe print on it’s back. By the way, the Sky-Dweller is much less bulky, even rather elegant on the wrist, to my experience (wrist size circa 19-20 cm). Thanks for showing. Reg... 

I agree too the Skydweller wears ok on my wrist and not that bulky, but it’s shows bigger relative to the other 40mm Rolexes. Thanks for looking George.

I agree Rolex is more colorful.

People will kill for this top row! A perfect group of siblings here. For these sports/tool watches, my vote goes to Rolex. But you have some heavy metal Omegas as well here, they don‘t need to hide at all! Cheers, Daniel

That was kind of my initial concern about Rolexes since it’s easy to recognize but their built quality is so good so I start having a few more. No hiding for me as I wear and rotate all my watches. Thanks Daniel.

Absolutely, they are all icons: the Sub, the GMT, the Dayto. But put them on a Nato, and nobody will recognize them as a Rolex! I was really surprised to see the different reaction of almost everybody. Makes me wonder of how much of Rolex‘s brand value ac... 

If it were between explorer 1 , datejust, vs omega then its even.

I also like the Oysters, smooth.

Yes, I’m a conservative and stable kind of person too.

Surorised you didn’t mention the Hulk like your avatar name 🙄

were no waiting lists and the AD offered 10% off! Just didn't suit me. The Hulk for me refers to the real Hulk from Marvel. I'm a silver age comic fan and collector. Plus it's nice my two sons have a similar interest we can chat about. The first Hulk was ... 

And I have a feeling it’s not coming back...this recent pandemic has dented it slightly and not causing it to collapse is very very surprising, given the bad news here and there. Good for you with common interest with your kids...my is Fornite only which ... 

I‘d take the Seamaster 300. Or all together 😉

SM300 is a handsome watch.

Alaska or Snoopy are indeed a special one in the Omega lineup. Silver a Snoopy train is gone, but Alaska no yet.

No Seamasters....

I’m waiting on three of them from my AD maybe in 2025 😂

AD said, forget about it, in my grave ) so maybe I just I might just horse trade these for one 5131P.

My 5131P is my kid’s problem will not be traded or sold in my lifetime... hopefully you will manage to get you 5x31 J, R , G or P one day very soon.

hence I can get my hands on these at retail. Hopefully so I can have a WT enamel soon and Thank you so much for the wish, cross my toes. To be honest, I will probably missed these SS as they are my daily beaters.

...about this collector! Great lineup. Any will do (thank you), but the Alaska Project has cool cred. Cheers, pplater.

and lucky enough to secure all these through my AD and boutiques Alaska is bought from another owner and of course, huge premium but like you said, it's cool and worth it. Thanks pplater!

. . . I have a thing for jubilees. As they say, to each his own 😌 . . .

And I used to saying that’s for senior “uncles” but I’m one of them now 🤣

not to say that this isn't an impressive Rolex lineup! The Daytona and Sky Dweller are top!! had to steel the slang from this forum!! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the weekend! -D-

And ocean...Cheers D.

I like them all. There are watches which are not so easily available, but naturally it is not the most important thing in the watch collecting.

But then you know how it goes...human nature, most people wants something not easily available, wonder why? Thanks for looking Jari.
