I got a Superocean a couple years ago. I like it but wish it had a metal band.
 Attached FileStill love my Black Bay, too.  Attached FileI 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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm half tempted to move this one along to pay for more suppressors. Still kind of half want a Tudor North Flag, but my Aqua Terra, 2254.50 and Pelagos get the most wrist time so it's probably best to start buying more suppressors and thermal instead. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/70083/20191223_150017-1206428.jpg |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those hands on that particular Breitling are absurdly small for a dial/bezel/case that large. Very poor legibility that will get old very fast. It will be very hard to resell. JMHO. Of those two, I’d get a Seamaster. . . https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/309803/IMG_0394_jpeg-3313294.JPG As a non-watch guy, that all sounds very reasonable |

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. |

Omega - been to the moon
Breitling - it’s likely you earned it by giving John Travolta a blowjob

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

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. |

The speedmaster is really growing on me 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).
