    Omega PO for multiple Steinhart Divers?

    Ok. So I have a hypothetical question? Does one sell a PO for 6-7 Steinhart Divers or not? I'll be honest that it has crossed my mind. When I discovered Steinhart many years ago, I have always found there watches and quality for the price fantastic. Anyways, I would like to hear what other members would say.

    If you have the cash, don't. Just keep the PO and buy steinys. If cash is a factor, I would if you wanna play around. I've had a total of 5 steinys and have worn and enjoyed each one and have since then flipped 3 easily. Steiny's price point allows you to enjoy a quality watch and flip it quickly once you want to move on to something else. This may be harder and slower to do with a watch 10x a steiny's price. I'm the type who wants variety like a dozen and can't live with just one or three pieces so this works for me without breaking the bank.

    I dunno...I gotta keep my PO. The Steinhart is a beautiful watch but they are a different type of watch from an Omega. I own two Steinharts and will buy more, but they are not an Omega in terms of build quality, movement, fit and finish (they are also a lot less money so that is expected)

    I'd rather have 1 really nice watch than 6 decent watches. Just like I'd rather have 1 Ferarri than 6 Hondas.

    That is a really good way to put it.

    Personally, I would keep the PO and maybe get a couple of Steinharts when funds allows me to do so. Steinharts are excellent watches but a PO is still a PO ;)

    Yeah, keep the PO. It won't take you too long (presumably) to save up for a Steinhart, but since the PO costs a lot more, if you regret the decision to let it go it could be a long time before you are able to get one back. I say put some cash aside for your favourite Steinhart model and grab it, then you can decide if you want to order some more.
