Feeling Some Guilt

My holy grail has been my 16610 Submariner for most of my adult life but a few years back I was really intrigued by the Omega Planet Ocean. Specifically the Orange bezel on ss bracelet. I finally had a "cant pass up deal" (you can read about it in the Omega section) anyway I find myself wear ing the PO more than my Rolex and I feel like I am betraying my grail.

How exactly do you "betray" a watch? Just enjoy all of them!

I find other my watches make me appreciate Rolex even more. Variety is good.

Well I mean by betray is the Sub was my 99% wrist time timepiece. When I dont have it on...I feel like I should. But I sure am liking this PO. The heft, the look and kinda digging into the Co-Axial movement but the Rolex is Rolex ya know.

Rob, I think the novelty of the PO is intriguing to you. Enjoy it! And as you said, the Rolex is Rolex! Enjoy both!

It is natural to play with your new toy.

You can never have too many nice timepieces!! Enjoy them all. There will always be ones that you wear more often. I dont think the other watches will mind

As long as you love what is on your wrist, it does not matter what brand it is. You have a nice combo, enjoy.

No worries, Rob......as long as you haven't sold your 16610 you'll be fine.....otherwise it's off with the head!!

You're not betraying your rolex, you're saving it for an occassion worthy of its magnificence
