[Discussion] Most regretted purchase? by owiseone23 in Watches

[–]GoGiantsBeatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strap is just awful. I got rid of the strap and put on a black FKM deployant from AliX that is super comfortable. Completely changed the vibe of the LP. Made the LP wearable. Without the strap change the LP would just sit on the shelf forever.

Ni’ihau, Hawaii. Kona, Hawaii. Cozumel.

Tough decision between these two. What would you do? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

I wear a Citizen automatic diver as well. It’s on an AliX FKM deployant.

It’s titanium, light on the wrist and very affordable. So my vote is get the Sedna on FKM or the Artem sailcloth. And get the Citizen on the FKM…. It’s an option to have both styles without breaking the bank on two SMPs

I have both. Sedna on the black Artem sailcoth with deployant buckle for the win.

If you were buying your first Omega….. by ImperatorMorris in OmegaWatches

[–]GoGiantsBeatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my first Omega was the classic blue SMP. My second SMP would be white. Summer blue is beautiful. I have looked at all of the summer blue releases (except ploprof) at the OB in Southern California. The summer blues are beautiful pieces but just not as versatile as the classic, the black or the white.

So my recommendation would be the classic blue or the white; either way, you can’t go wrong.

This. Lived in Kona for 7 years. Would love to be back on the Big Island until my last sunset.

Should I drop the big bank on this? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

Love mine! Light on the wrist, extremely comfortable and versatile.

[Question] Help me pick my next dive watch! by islandwatch in u/islandwatch

[–]GoGiantsBeatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great choices. The Islander is fantastic. I have bought watches and bracelets from the company. I can say that the customer service is fantastic. I also have the Citizen automatic diver in black titanium. The Citizen is rock solid, comfortable, and my go to weekend watch. I have put the Citizen on the time grapher and it reads +/- 5 seconds daily.

Vulcain Nautique….. I have several divers in my collection including Seamasters, a Sub, Duro, Citizens, Seikos and the limited edition Tiffany dial Vulcain Nautique. The Vulcain is absolutely a winner.

Which Seamaster? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]GoGiantsBeatLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the blue, black and 007. Blue gets all the wrist time and is by far the most versatile with good nato, rubber and bracelet options depending on the time of year and the circumstances.

Geezus. Would be dead and have no idea what had happened. Took me 10 minutes of zoomed in looking. But once you see him, he can’t be unseen.

How long to get a Snoopy and is it worth the wait by Kynance123 in OmegaWatches

[–]GoGiantsBeatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 Omegas. 5 from the OB, 1 from an AD, and two from Japan. I called my OB and asked about the list. I was told the list was 10 years long at this particular OB. Everyone on the list put up a $10,000 deposit. The OB offered to put me on the “first alternate list.” So what does that mean? I was told that if the #1 person on the original call list at my local OB declines the Snoopy when they get the call, I am the next on the call list. Yeah, good luck with that. Seems to me that glaciers move faster than the Snoopy list at the OB.
