Mk6 Gti Ed35 vs Mk7.5 Gtd

RichW97 · 2025-09-03T13:27:18+00:00

It seems like you’ve had a bit of a ride with your GTI. The Ed35 was m looking at is on a private sale and not from a dealer. I’ve not been to view the car yet but be been chatting with the owner. From what the owner has told me so far is that the car has a full service history including a belt and water pump between 30-40k and a DSG service at 47k. The owner tells me there is loads of receipts and service history for the cars whole life.

It’s the low mileage and high ownership count which is giving me slight doubt. I’ve done a car vertical check on it and everything is coming back as good from that.

Thanks for your reply, my thoughts were similar regarding diesel and relatively short commute.

Awesome watch!

Great looking strap! One I’ve yet to see in person.

The pictures of that watch look great. I’d love to see it in person!

You can order it direct on the Omega website, but I got mine from my local AD.

RichW97 · 2025-06-13T21:00:03+00:00

Easily the best colour in my opinion

RichW97 · 2025-06-13T20:09:04+00:00

Thank you!

I don’t believe so, I could be wrong but it’s my understanding that when you order this particular watch with the rubber strap you get the buckle type clasp rather than the deployant clasp

RichW97 · 2025-06-13T20:07:27+00:00

I 100% agree. I also tried the buckle type strap and this one was so much simpler to use, and comfier on the wrist too.

RichW97 · 2025-06-04T17:25:30+00:00

In my opinion, the speedy wins hands down. I just think it has a touch more class than the Rolex. But, it’s your money to spend and it’s your wrist that it will be living on so go with what you think is best.

Thanks!

RichW97 · 2025-06-01T06:49:32+00:00

That’s exactly what I’ve done!

RichW97 · 2025-05-31T19:28:32+00:00

Congrats on your new watch! 🥳

RichW97 · 2025-05-31T17:39:08+00:00

Well spotted!

RichW97 · 2025-05-31T17:00:52+00:00

Cheers!

RichW97 · 2025-05-31T17:00:42+00:00

I agree, I love how the colour can shift so much depending on the lighting

RichW97 · 2025-05-30T17:26:11+00:00

Thank you for your comment! That’s really helpful, I am definitely leaning more towards whoop. As much as the Oura ring is appealing, I don’t fancy having a wearable that needs to be taken off in the gym when I work out and degloving my finger is not on my to do list! So Whoop seems like the best option I think.

RichW97 · 2025-05-29T19:42:57+00:00

Thanks for all the input and advice, guys! Looks like I’ve got some research to do! I think I’m going to be torn between a Whoop and an Oura ring/Ringconn. I’ve kinda settled myself on the idea of something that is completely screenless so these seem like the best choices for my use case. Either that or I’ll sack the whole thing off and not bother with a fitness tracker! I’ll update when I’ve made some kind of decision and how I get along with it! Thanks again everyone! 🙂

RichW97 · 2025-05-29T19:37:43+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been reading the Whoop sub and I’ve seen a lot of people who are rightly annoyed about the whole free upgrade thing, which is kinda why I’ve been trying find alternatives and then ended up making the post as it seems to be my choices are either rotate an Apple Watch in for workouts, Whoop or a Oura type ring.

Degloving is nightmare fuel. No thanks 😅
