first rolex 1984 gmt master, second in 2011 yacht master, last month bought a hulk, yesterday i found myself looking at 116400gv mil gauss....man, its a bit of a plain looking watch but the faraday cage and second hand are sexy....tried to distract myself with the new omega speed master with the new movement...but when its 8k, i can't get out of my head 'for that, you get a rolex'....arrrhhhggg!!!

tried on panerai....are you kidding me? they're as big as a sundial! (no offence)....i do like the look of the speed master on that clasp type gator band....but get the speedy pro at half the cost.....oh crap.... so i go perusing the trf site....yeah that helped...not

Omega IMHO are way overpriced. Back in the 90s they were great mid-market pieces. But it seems they think they can now ask Rolex prices. For the same old mid-market pieces.

I don't think mid-90s omegas can be compared to their current models. Perceived image and aesthetic tastes aside, the current Speedmaster and Seamaster lines owe nothing to their modern Rolex counterparts. From a technological and innovative point of view this becomes even more clear, IMO.

I really like my gv. Its a nice piece and very unusual. Seems like it will go well with what you have so go for it. Happy Hunting!

The GV is beautiful. I enjoy it more every time I look at it...

I feel bad for you, this site doesn't do anything for those that are afflicted like you. LOL As far as I can see, once you get it, you have it always. ;-)

There are far better Omega watches today, especially with the new movements.

The GV is awesome and you should get it if you like it!!

Vintage Omegas are the cat's a$$, not so much with the new one's given the prices they are asking. Makes the Rolex sport line all the more appealing...
