What is your general opinion on omega watches and their owners?
I think it is safe to assume that the majority of people in this forum are watch connoisseurs with knowledge regarding brands that extend past rolex's. And I also don't think that I am the only one whose eyes naturally tend to focus in on people's wrists in order to see what kind of watch they are wearing when I am out in a public settings.
So for those of you who are rolex owners I wanted to know what are your opinions/ first impressions on omega watches and the people who own them. It would be even better if you gave your opinion on certain models : Seamasters, Speedmasters, Planet Oceans etc.
Been going back and forth between the new (European) Seiko and a Victorinox I.N.O.X as a beater to take to China early next year. Veering towards the I.N.O.X.
The inox looks well built, read an article about the testing they did for it, was impressive, its not a bad looking watch BUT, what it lacks for mine is charm, the turtles oozing in charm, it wears very well on the wrist too.
The turtles timeless, the victorinox meh.
Fair enough, at least youve experienced some modding and a Russian piece, its all fun and experience, especially at the price range.
If people just jump straight into Rolex in their journey they miss a lot and know a whole lot less about watches.
Ive noticed that on TRF, good bunch of guys, not having a go at anybody personally but ive noticed their general knowledge about horology in general and other brands, often only extends as far as Rolex, its very limited for a big proportion of members there.
Not saying there arnt some very knowledgable guys there but its the awareness about other brands and watches in general is very low from a large proportion.
Where as on here the knowledge from many guys about the whole hobby is staggering, i think that comes from having a very diverse forum that covers so many different areas.

I agree the Seiko is tempting and would work great as a summer watch. I prefer wearing black-dialled watches most of the time, so not sure how much wrist time this particular Seiko would get.

I don't wear my Omega (Aqua Terra Ryder Cup) as often as any of my Rolex watches, but when I do I'm reminded of how much I love it -- everything but the size. It's the largest watch in my collection at 41.5mm, and I'm a skinny guy.
I bought the Ninja in January but we haven't bonded that well, probably because of the faux lume.
Just caved in and ordered the SRPD01K1. Most sites are listing it at just under 1000 USD and I managed to get it for 570. It's a limited edition and I can always pick up the INOX later.
Just read this review, pretty glowing review but its hard to tell if hes got a free one and just talking it up as im always wary of.
But he likes and appreciates all the things i really like in the watch, i think hes nailed it by stating its a real beauty, im all over it for my first coke.
Those red cross hairs on the dial will be hardly visible on the wrist, its a nice touch.

Im not really into black divers, these turtle reissues look better in the stainless imo, especially with the bracelet which apart from the collar system is a very good bracelet for the price range imo.

If you find that you don't bond with the SRPD01K1, send me a PM. [emoji1] seriously. [emoji41]
