I got a Superocean a couple years ago. I like it but wish it had a metal band.

I have an older Sub but don’t wear it much.

I like my three auto winders.

The silver Seiko 6138 UFO was my dad’s and dates from 1972.

The brown Seiko 6138 Bullhead I bought from the same guys who restored dad’s watch. It is 1976 vintage.

The Bremont was a gift from my wife in 2018. She bought it but I did the hard part to qualify, it is an MBI.

I agree with getting the Omega. I am looking at getting one myself now.

In my opinion the Speedy is the most iconic watch out there. More so than the Submariner.

I truly regret selling my North Flag.

The numbers on the bezel were copied from a Jitterbug phone.

As a non-watch guy, that all sounds very reasonable

Omega is timeless. I still wear my 30 year old seamaster often.

I think you posted that before, that is a great looking watch, and I don’t like Breitling.

Someone mentioned Sinn, nice watches, but they got overpriced post-covid IMHO. They literally mostly use off the shelf Stelita movements, though their cases have some nice features. Also, Sinn’s lume is horrible. They are great watches though.

Lacomakes a pretty neat tool watch that semi-resembles the Breit above, $2k’ish.

2254.50

great watch, one of their best ever.  if they made it in 43-45mm I'd still have it.  didn't fit my ginormous hamburger helper hands/wrist.

That 1972 Seiko 6138 UFO is awesome. I love it!

Seamasters with chronograph functions make my brain itch.

On a completely and utterly unrelated note. Anyone here have one of these?

Yeah dude.  Get the Tudor.  Or, if you must, get the Omega.   Don't get the Breitling.

OUCH, I do have this Breitling and love it… but most are gross to me.

I say I primarily wear Omega or Tudor earlier in the thread, and I end up wearing a Breitling on this trip

I should throw the bracelet on sometime.  I never have.

I have several Breitlings and Omegas. Choosing one of those, I’ll choose Omega. Not knowing what you want out of the watch I’d suggest a Speedmaster Professional. I like the “sapphire sandwich.”



Here is one of my Breitlings that I have never seen on anyone else. Avenger II GMT



I also like IWC. This is Le Petit Prince.



I only have one Tudor. This one reminds me of my first watch when I was a kid.



What you want to do with the watch, or what you want the watch to do for you are very important considerations.

Sapphire sandwich is definitely a cool watch, but also on the smaller side if you're otherwise considering a Breitling.  Being a manual wind, it's thinner and lighter (not to mention, a smaller diameter case).
