okay Rusty, does this one do it for you?
I am trending back to the Omega Seamaster as :
1. I like the look a lot
2. They have the coaxial escapement – a more accurate movement which requires less servicing (saves money over time)
3. Omega seem better VHM than Rolex
Of the Seamasters, only 2 fit my slim wrists.
1 the 300M chrono comes in a 36.25mm case and looks good, costs £2400-2700 rrp
2. the planet ocean……ladies version 😳 ….well..why not? It is the same as the mens version, just smaller at 37.5mm and a good fit for me.
I think I prefer the planet ocean over the 300m, as
1. it has a better movement, the 8520 calibre (Omegas movment) not the 2500 calibre (a modified ETA fitted with the co-axial escapement)
2. The movment gets shown off with a saphire glass back….the engineer in me gets to see how it all works 😀
On the downside…the planet ocean is a grand more at £3700….but still £1600 less than the Submariner from Rolex which is the other contender.
so…. my current favourite
It think the market for watches is slow currently. I check 4 bond/oxford street dealers last week and the Submarner no lnger has a waiting list, 2 had a watch in stock, the others would get me one in 4 to 6 weeks.
