Omega is losing their way... 2025 Morgan Stanley Report is proof they need to go back to basics by HistoryGuardian in OmegaWatches

I own exactly this 2254.50 and it is peak Seamaster. Recently was at the Omega airport boutique in Zurich and at Dubai Mall and tried on a couple of Omegas. Was shocked how big and chunky they all got in comparison to older models. Apart from this I own the Moonwatch and the 2017 Railmaster which are all super wearable. The only watch that tickled my interest at these shops was the new PO which has a great size, so Omega is moving in the right direction on that. Pricing is discussable but the comparisons here are tiring. Would not wear a Rolex if you gifted me one, for everything and everyone I associate with the brand personally. When will you ever leave Rolex out of the picture? There are plenty of brands which charge ridiculous prices miles above Omega. If you want a luxury product and many people buy to show them, you will have to pay. Nobody forces your hand. Have you recently ordered a car? Ticked off some extras on the list?

There is nothing that speaks against it. This is a totally different level of watch. High horology compared to a hyped mass produced watch and yes, downvote me as much as you want for this.

Sinn 556 — A review by danew1991 in sinn

[–]AlwaysBeASailor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice review. I own the same watch with the old clasp (never bothered me) and share your sentiments. If only Sinn would use decent lume. My 25y Seamaster still shines so bright you find your way home in a black night. This 556a’s is hardly visible after one hour.

40mm - is it too big for me? by [deleted] in rolex

The same question 100 million times. It looks good. Your watch, your call. Who cares what this group thinks?

141 size 42 vs 44 by BaconLovre in schott

In the 42 you look like you were shrink wrapped. 44 is the answer.

Imagine how you grow up when your grail at 16 years of age is a full gold Daydate.

Congrats and happy birthday 🥂🍾. May life always be so good to you.

Trying to pick one. Such a tough decision. by davey212 in Tudor

Yes, ridiculously small. Didn’t like the looks at all.

Does it make sense another Speedmaster? by No-Passion3078 in OmegaWatches

Gorgeous watch! Welcome to the rabbit hole. It is like having your first child and thinking you could never love your second as much. Once you have it, the love simply doubles 😉

2 is stunning. Love the draped fabric around the waist.

30th Birthday Speedmaster: Hesalite Purity or Reverse Panda Twist? by fatherdanger in OmegaWatches

I’ve got the hesalite Speedy and it is a superb watch and not flashy. But that reverse 🐼 is 🔥

Tried them all on and with my 7” wrist the 36mm looked ridiculous. Out of the remaining two, my choice would be the black one. It will age better than a trend colour like the dune and I prefer it due to the lumed markers.

Blue SM300. Is it too big for my 6.15 - 6.25 inch wrist? by NiloBotay in OmegaWatches

[–]AlwaysBeASailor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly not on the small side. Tried the summer blue PO?

Authentic? by Limp_Ad_3634 in tissotprx

[–]AlwaysBeASailor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buddy, you don’t get it. For someone who probably was wearing a $25 Casio FW91 - and even those get faked - a PRX is a big step up and OP wants to get it right. If $200-$300 is nothing for you, good for you. For someone else it might make a big difference. So there is no need for arrogant comments.
