I have four Omegas (2 modern and 2 vintage) and two Subs. The only Omega that still gets any wrist-time is my 41.5mm blue dial first-gen aqua terra. It is a seriously elegant timepiece with a really decent ETA movement. I can see the other three going soon.

Omega policy is to return your original parts any time something is replaced.

For a GMT watch it’s Rolex. Nobody else’s iteration matches the GMT Master imho.

For a Chronograph the Omega Speedmaster is the gold standard.

I have a couple of Omegas including a Seamaster Pro 2254.50 I bought 18 years ago and a Speedy Pro. The Seamaster lives on an Omega rubber strap and gets worn occasionally as my beater. The Speedy sees a fair amount of wrist time in my small 4 watch rotation.

I like the look of the Planet Ocean, except for the HEV. However, the watches are just too thick. I wish Omega would ditch the display back and shave a couple of mm off the height.

As someone with a bakers dozen or more Rolex, I double dare you to walk away from the ceramic bezeled, micro adjustable Speedmaster racing master coaxial. 2 seconds a week the last month.

Find yourself a good 2254.50, sexiest watch Omega ever made.

Have a special place in my heart for Omega. A Speedmaster was my first watch. My ego needed a bigger watch so GMT it is. Would take a second look for sure.
