I used to have a Omega Seamaster Pro Titanium that was a lovely watch, but not as a daily use that gets knocked about. Mine constantly developed issues with accuracy, that meant going back to Omega for repair. In the 3 years I owned it it went back to Omega under warranty 3 times (each time it was away for 6-8 weeks) - and always the same problem. Omega discontinued the watch about 6 month after I bought it, and searching the various forums, it was clear mine wasn't the only one to be affected in the same way.
I sold it and bought a new 16610 Sub, and never had an issue with that........until I developed a skin condition which mean't I can no longer wear my Sub, or any metal bracelet watch for more than a day on, three days off.

I had been planning and saving for buying a YG DD36 for my 60th in a couple of years time, but this skin problem combined with Rolex now no longer offering black or white dial options for the DD36, mean that 20 odd year wait for the grail watch has ended.
Selling the Sub to part fund a 126655 Yachtmaster with the oysterflex bracelet, would be only other option, but trying to establish any sort of new AD relationship to get one of those since moving to a new area is something I just can no longer be bothered with in the new world of Rolex.
