I've recently visited a Seiko boutique and became enamored with the GS sbgr261. I have an Omega Globemaster (silver dial) which I have owned for a couple of years and thinking of selling to get the GS.

Any thoughts as to whether I should go ahead, or would I be 'trading down', given the movement, value and versatility of the omega?

Globemaster is a pretty hot watch, but I have to say I'm disappointed with the very narrow hands on that watch.
Also, the Co-axial movement is fine, but its got its issues.

The Seiko you mention is very traditional and fine, but have a look at the high-beat and spring drive models.

I would definitely prefer the high beat and spring drive movements but I am not a fan of the case shapes that seiko stick these movements into. The 261 has a finer, more traditional case with thinner lugs. Any other models I should look at?
