Omega

As you, my dearest watch friends in the world ☺️ , may have noticed, I was very enthusiastic about the Omega Speed ​​Master in Sednagold. Some time ago, our dear Art (Dr. No) had to make a difficult decision between this watch and the Ed White and ultimat...  

Just kidding...this is good. We all have that WIS sense of what is wrong or not the moment we put it on our wrist. I am hoping to see the new Green or Panda dial in moonshine gold. I think they both look stunning.

My photos are not doing justice. The watch was extremely ... pinkish. I own two watches in Redgold (a BP FF and the Omega Worltimer), which I love and which fit my wrist perfectly. It is for sure not a good example for a stealthy watch. But - who cares? 😉... 

That’s my philosophy, and I've actually always done well with it. 🙏

What also helps me a lot is that I don't always have to have everything right away. I take my time. And less is more. That also means that every new piece has a much higher meaning for me and I can really critically examine whether a watch is really the “... 

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the picture and for very openly sharing your thoughts. Agreed also with your rules. You had posted earlier about your passion for the BP FF also in red Gold. Also explained the attractiveness of diver in gold, IIRc. My question : Do ... 

Just seeing that you already answered above, sorry to have missed it J

My pleasure. Yes, the Redgold of the FF differs extremely. It looks like bronze. Here another picture of the pinkish Sedna gold. Sorry for the quality. I had just a short time and bad light conditions. Cheers Thomas ...  

Half serious, that watch is beautiful, Stoikos

The watch is extremely beautiful. But not for me.

Completely agree, and this is good news. Good news that you managed to experience this magnificent watch in the flesh, and good news that seeing it in person helped confirm the right decision for you.

And it’s so important to be able to experience a watch in the flesh. Marketing pictures are sometimes misleading. You study everything, comb through websites, reviews, threads etc. and think, you know all the details. And then, in reality, everything migh... 

It’s a shame it didn’t work out but there’s always something else! All the best Jon

It’s a shame. And it's just another lesson that you can't and shouldn't just base your assessment on virtual knowledge and impressions.

☺️

. . . you couldn't wear it. I declined because I wouldn't wear it.

For my part: I don't regret my decision for a second. And the lesson learned (again): apart from all virtual presentations, reviews, discussions, arguments etc., the impression in reality is often completely different. And ultimately the only thing that c... 

are to blame for your impression. Believe me. In reality it didn't look nice on my wrist. And I was... VERY... open to a purchase. 😉

I find the contrast tepid on my skin. Why i prefer either yg or wg.. not that i have any experience with precious metals. But i do pay attention to how a watch case contrasts with my skin tone. Which also explains why as much as i like the look of a tan l... 

My personal experience is, that “red gold” can look very different. Omega WT: Blancpain FF: JLC Reverso: Omega Sedna Gold (I took a part of the picture where you can have a better impression of the colour): All the best Thomas ...  

SS, WG and Platin. But this has been changing during the last years because for me it’s fun to have more diversity in my collection.
