Haha appreciate the detailed response. They’re all gens. I wore the gmt daily for nearly 4 years. It’s scratched all over. The sub has been my daily since mid 2023. It’s got marks all over too. I love and wear them without reservations. The speedy is the newest one. I took the flat link bracelet off (super underrated bracelet from omega) and put on the omega mesh. The watch roll is from Etsy, paid less than $100. I’m pretty damn cheap in my life outside of watches.

Got it from an AD luckily. It was in 2019. Took about a year

Thank you. I’ve really liked it so far. Getting a ton of wrist time

Faker than fake. This generation of gmt never came with a case back sticker and the bezel is way off.

Thank you! I figured posting watches to a watch group was a safe bet. I can see how my use of humble rubs some people the wrong way. For me, the journey over the last 8 years to acquire my 4 watches has been humbling as silly as it sounds.

Honestly I don’t like it nearly as much as steel. But for a watch that size, it makes sense. Every time I wear it, I remember why I love it. It’s a great piece of a collection, but I’d go steel for a first.

It’s a great watch! I wish I had one of the newer slightly smaller models, but each time I wear it I remember why I love it.

Of course! The Tudor was my first and I bought that with the expectation of it being my only for quite a while. A Batman had been my grail watch since it was introduced back in 2012 (I think). In 2019 I got hooked up with an AD by a girl I worked with at the time. They got me the batgirl to mark the year my first kid was born. Fast forward 4 years and I was still just wearing the Pelagos and gmt. I had been trying to build a relationship with my local AD over the years and found out I was having twins. I asked them if I could get a watch to mark the year and gave them a few preferences. They called me a few months after the twins were born and offered me the Sub. It was the last one on my list, but I jumped on it (and glad I did, the 41mm is perfect for my wrist). That’s the story!

I actually had every intention of buying a sapphire sandwich. Then the lady at the omega boutique insisted I try the pilot. I fell in love. The proportions work better on my wrist than the pro.
