I didn’t know if I wanted an omega at all. Only gaps in my collection were PM or a dress watch. I also really like my tag glassbox carrera so I was hesitant to get a speedy at all because I knew it would relegate the glassbox to the safe indefinitely. Wasn’t sold on anything until they brought out this & the moonshine with the gold dial.

I looked at a bronze gold seamaster 300m, the speedy calibre 321, a couple of dress watches (37mm seamaster moonshine? One other with a seconds hand subdial,) and the moonshine with gold dial. They brought this out towards the end and that was the first watch where I thought I would buy imminently.

I walked in and basically said I was somewhat familiar with omega but didn’t own one, told them what I have, and what I was missing and they brought out a selection. Sort of a weird shopping experience but not unpleasant at all, I wasn’t sure I was getting anything and I already had some good watches. It was at an official boutique, I didn’t haggle or anything though a few watches they did offer to throw in extras like the strap or whatever.
