New arrival...Omega Seamaster
Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2017 2:12 pm
I have finally joined the Omega club. After debating and looking, trying to decide on a "key piece", since the beginning of the year, my journey ends here.
I had wanted to add a significant brand name to my collection. I don't mean that in a conseted way, y'all know what I mean. It was time to step up. I had on my shortlist a sub no date, IWC Ingeniuer and Omega Aqua Terra. I had tried on all except the IWC and whilst I loved the sub, the Omega was doing it for me. I had pretty much made my mind up on the AT 15k gauss when a customer on mine was wearing his SMP blue dial and it really caught my eye. I tried one on and that was pretty much it. I still wanted the AT but the more I studied It, the more I noticed things I wasn't 100% liking; for example the date aperture. And it didn't quite sit as nice on the wrist. I knew I wanted a classic piece from that brand but something a little different than the sub (sorry). Something that was instantly recognisable from that brand. I really wanted to try the IWC, more to rule it out so i went to London with a buddy today. No luck on the IWC anywhere. The shop told me the Genta design version is no longer being made and the new variant is frankly horrible. I was a bit disappointed but after spending a good time at the Omega shop, I plumped for the SMP ceramic and I couldn't be happier. It's looks great, has fantastic specs for the price point and there is nothing I don't like about it. I feel like I have a classic piece that can be worn anywhere. This is my second watch this year, after the Oris but I feel like I am "there" now with my collection. Sorry for the crappy pics but really wanted to share my search and results.
