After the icy imposter syndrome felt when trying to buy a Datejust, I today tried on an Aqua Terra. No more purse-lipped Authorised Dealer-dominatrix in full leather and whips, asking ‘who’s been a naughty boy then?!!’ The Omega AD made me feel like I was actually experiencing luxury watch buying. Who knew!

Thomas, Terrific research and presentation sir. I went to my local Omega AD and tried on the Seamaster 300, 300M, Aqua Terra, and Planet Ocean watches. The 38mm AT, 39.5 mm Planet Ocean, and 40mm 300 all looked great on my 6.5 inch wrist for daily wear. The Seamaster Bond 42mm pushes the limit but I could wear it when in the water. Then the Omega representative brought out the new Speed master with the white dial. Wow! I am saving up for the Speed master white dial and the Seamaster 300 in Summer Blue. Next I went to my Tudor AD and I tried the new 39mm Black Bay GMT and Monochrome watches. Omega still ranks first in my opinion. I gave up on Rolex last year. Thanks again for your hard work!

Love my 2254.50. Hope they bring back the swordhands

I consider myself to be a Rolex and Omega fan equally. In 1997 I purchased both a 2 tone, blue dial Sub and a blue dial SMP 300. I still have both watches to this day. I have been collecting since the mid 90s and I am constantly buying and selling watches in and out of my collection, but these two have never left and as far as I’m concerned never will. That said, I’ll be the first to say, compared to the Rolex (this applies more so to the time I purchased mine) the Omega was better made, ran just as well and was half the price of the Submariner. I tell every new collector I run into that you have to have some type of Omega in your collection to be complete.

Solid info and excellent advice. I tend to prefer the Seamaster to the Submariner, personally, but it’s hard to argue with your “if you can only have 1 watch” assertion.

Great episode this is becoming some of the best watch content on the web

Excellent job, Thomas. You and Fratello are the finest sources of good information on the industry, on YouTube.

Went to local omega boutique and tried on the aqua terra and planet ocean along with the white dail speedmaster. They are all great and seeing the summer blue PO on my wrist i knew it was the one. Took it home and been my daily and couldn't be happier. The bezel and dail have a great color shift of grey and blue.

My NTTD is one of my favourite dailys. Just beautifully understated. When I'm feeling loud I have plenty to choose from (like the Breitling Super Ocean Rainbow or MAD 1) but the Seamaster and mt Speedmaster Racing are my most worn watches. Exceptional without the *look at me, I own a Rolex* vibe.

[ronforman]

I tried on the NTTD and it looked and felt so good. I always buy pre-owned and keep checking but it's holding value way better than I hoped it would. I'd have to sell a couple of tudors to justify it to myself and more importantly my wife.

Damn these videos go hard. New favorite watch channel?

[Allanco]

First comment! You do such great work, keep up the amazing videos!! Have a great weekend 😊

Buy what you like. I bought my semester at 10k. I could have chosen the sub but I like the semester more. Not an investment/trend thing, just that’s what I like.

[malikknows]

Nice video, thank you. My $.02 is I wish their heritage collection had some military variants. Also, I wish they had some smaller watches. Tudor is killing it with their recent release of 37mm and 39mm Black Bays. All the best!

[minhoek]

i cant afford Casios, but i still going to watch this!:))

I got the omega sea master 2020 Tokyo one on the grey market for 5, 300. I feel like it was a decent price to grab it and I loved the checker blue dial.

[hodgsongli]

Great video! Was hoping for more americas cup love but I agree on the aqua terra, it does so much so well

[glostergloster]

Seamasters are classic timepieces that just never get old. Far more versatile than Rolex imo.

The seamaster 300 is one of Omega’s most outdated designs available today (late 80’s early 90’s design). Their current aqua terra line up is amazing. Especially the 38 mm ones. 🎉❤

Omega has many model watches to choose from. I love Omega, beautiful, durable and luxury quality watches.
