Daily beater watch! Which one?
Hi all !
I'm looking for my daily beater watch and price range under $12k but not sure which one should I go forward. I have a hard time picking between Go Panomatic counter XL vs JLC MC 2 vs Omega DSOM! Love all 3 watches especially GO and Omega with display case back, JLC without back display but really like the chrono dish counterw + super sporty look. Beside these 3 watches. Is there any other watch should I consider? Advice and comments pls welcome! Thanks |

Out of those 3 I prefer the JLC with DSOTM second and the GO last. love GO but that ones design is a bit out there for my taste. Best of luck in your choice!

I'd flip a coin and decide between the first two.

If it was a GO panograph that would be the winner but I don't think they make that in SS

If it has to be one of those I say Dark Side of the Moon.
Personally, I wear a speedy pro.

JLC for sure. A gorgeous watch that I never really noticed before and I love me some chronographs.
The other two are both nice as well. No wrong choice in the bunch. But for your budget I'd snag an SS Daytona from one of our trusted sellers. But the JLC is a close 2nd. |

The Omega. You can wear that in all situations. The JLC is a close 2nd if you can also get a rubber strap to go with it. The Glashutte is a little too dressy looking to be a daily beater.

If I recall correctly, seeing as I tried on the panomatic counter xl recently, it retails for 25k. You find a sweet deal on that one to get under 12k? Don't get me wrong, seems possible just had to ask.
I would take the Omega if you can stomach the price and nine million special editions of the speed master. Undeniably a very cool watch no matter how you look at it. |

I know all GO watches tend to lean toward dressy style. The reason I put GO in this list because I got a really great deal from my AD.
I love all Omega watches and one thing that I don't like is the caliber 93xx and 8xxx share the same movement in all Omega models. Nothing new since they release co-axial silicon movement. |

but as a daily beater, the ceramic should prove useful since it's scratch resistant?

I believe black ceramic will easier show an visible scratches more horrible than SS. |

I vote JLC simply because I don't like the other two.

JLC is the winner, I feel that omega is too much money.
