Well, it truly has been a while. I remember my last post had to do with my invicta and how the bezel had come off. Now I am back to post on some greats news, at least for me. I have always been a great admirer of Omega and although my family is a Rolex family and love them to death, I never quite found myself falling in love with Rolex. Granted, Rolex's are beautiful especially the submariner which was the one that I was looking for. Nevertheless, my heart truly was with Omega and the seamaster line.
I just got off a cruise and this time I had planned, like my father did many many years ago, to go to St. Thomas and purchase an Omega. I went with the intention of looking for both the Seamaster 300m and the Rolex Submariner. I always steered away from the Planet Ocean--my true love--because I felt the price was to much. Well, when I walked in to see how much the submariner was I was
hmy: I reconsidered and although I would have paid what they were asking for, I then realized, holding the Rolex, that it just didn't call my name out. It was sparkling like the SM and PO were. So, I went back and picked up my PO 2200.51.00. I am truly in love with it and cannot helped but look at it constantly.
I believe in Omega and although I am not one to sit back and argue and fight over which timepieces are better, I truly believe that the PO is a great buy. I bought it from Dean Bump who is a contributor to HR magazine (I believe). He was very nice and helpful and explained to me how the co-axial movement was a superior movement and one of a kind currently in the market. He also explained how I will have to only service it about every 9-10 years or maybe even more.
One thing I wanted to bring up was how does Omega truly stack up against Rolex and Breitling? I was told by a Breitling dealer that the only competition they have is Rolex and many believe they are superior to them. He mentioned that Omega is no where near. I am just curious.
I will be posting pictures later on. Once again thank you for reading this.
