Hello Raymond! I share with you same feelings and doubts regarding purchasing new pieces!...
Apr 24, 2018,05:22 AM
... I´m a greedy collector, buy I know that we can´t buyt everything we like, and also that the more watches you own the less you enjoy them at full. It is a paradox but it happens when you own a very large collection.
I guess a mature collector tends to reduce quantity and to specialize. Having less allows to know better each piece and to live with them on the wrist more time. Also allows to reach higher end watches.
By the other hand Makers conspire with this tendency of reducing when they launch more and more temptations!!
yes, I have my sights on the new 2998 Pulsations! It is simlar to the previous edition which I already own... but different at same time!
have a nice day my friend!
Abel

with this Omega Spectre SM300 and since then, I’ve build a good relationship with my local boutique to start a small collection of Omega modern watches. I’m not into rusties so pls, no offense to our knowledgeable vintage collectors, you guys are brave as...
Amazes me how fast you build a nice collection ...

Three years and your collection only contains important Omega watches. Congratulations, My favorite on your collection is the blue Moon Phase Speedmaster. Nilo Note: My wife also have the same Ladymatic.
I can only cherry pick ....
By: Clueless_Collector : April 14th, 2018-17:38
since I have limited funds and have to get approval from my “boss” 😂 The Ladymatic and the Moonphase are just regular series, not really important watches but I have to agree they are winners too. Thank you Nilo, your Omega collection is my inspiration. R...
I have no complaints...

happy with what I got. Thanks John. Rgds Raymond

Quality and service is top notch, plus 2 or 4 years warranty depending on movement. I’m only focusing on 4 brands now, ALS, Omega, PP and Rolex.
👍👍👍 [nt]

AWesome collection! Make me jeaolous...

Omega also my favourite brand now. They are consistently improving the technology at faster pace than any other brand. Their design is also timeless. And the price is still reasonable. I have two omegas in my small collection, those have been carefully se...
Yes it is. The moment i saw it, i knew i had to get it..

The famous caliber 1861 encased in titanium grade 2, with sedna gold bezel and hands, ceramic bezel insert, laser-cut dial. I purchased the titanium bracelet which not included in the purchase, it was specially made for Speedy X-33 spacewalker gen 3. Eith...
It’s truly a spectacular collection you have built up, Raymond :)
By: KMII : April 14th, 2018-21:58
And it’s a credit to your AD that you were able to get all the limited pieces. While the CK2998 and the Snoopy are my favourites, there’s not a single watch that I wouldn’t want in my collection And my boss wants a Ladymatic at some point, too
It’s often decisive in hindsight...
By: KMII : April 14th, 2018-22:58
Great quality boutique or AD service is likely to have quite some effect on where our preferences develop towards. Not exclusive but not to be underestimated, either As for GS - never say never, might yet happen
Very nice trio, Dmitriy 👍🏻
By: Clueless_Collector : April 14th, 2018-23:06
The Speedmaster Racing Master Chrono, the Apollo 11 45th and what this 3rd one? You did good with the orange/black nato on that watch 👏🏻
Thanks, Raymond!)

#3 -- Apollo 15 35th Anniversary, ref. 3366.51.00.
Fantastic mission …

Raymond that collection is something else. Keep up the good work !
Still a long way to go...

The Omega portfolio is so vast that I can only dream. Thank you, Vte.

Just a bit offensive to people whose collecting "rusty". Nouveau rich. I like your collection.
Nouveau riche? Seriously?
By: Clueless_Collector : April 20th, 2018-09:36
Not sure if I like this description, Frank. These don’t even add up to a high end chrono from the famous houses, dude...Yes, I rather spend my $ than bring it to my grave, and I do donate to charity too. And they come as a result from my hard earn efforts...
No offence bud
By: Frank. : April 20th, 2018-10:14
sure you mean no offence by using word rusty. just lacks respect
common
By: Frank. : April 22nd, 2018-11:28
Common but bad manners too You're modern collection is great tho.
Big Thanks Abel...sometimes I wonder what do I really want...
By: Clueless_Collector : April 23rd, 2018-14:24
with all these watches and sometimes I ask myself why not just get a super nice watch instead of many small/medium ones. Of course if I have the means, to own many super nice ones that’s even better 🤣, but that’s not for mortals like me. Knowing our own l...
wow amazing collection :)
By: christianch : January 19th, 2020-13:20
mine is really similar..just a few moon watches more (and I don't have the blue modern speedmaster moon and also not the Porsche one of course! )
Thanks my friend....The nice thing about Omega...

Ha, this tread is back on the road again. Like a history book. Omega is a watch, lay it for years in a drawer, take it out and set the hands on the right time, and enjoy. From this day 22-1-2020 i understand why Nasa took the speedy as the watch which mus...
