Early omegas = Nice
Later Omegas = No so nice, you can get a better watch for simalar money, or but a vintage Omega the newer ones are cheap and not the same quality and worn by Del boy types.
Rolex were used in early bond films up to live and let die.
After this Cubby broccolli asked Rolex to pay for the privilege,
Rolex told him where to stuff it!
P.S Before you all go on about the Omega Moon watch.
Omega payed NASA for the privilege and Armtstong did, and still does not rate the watch prefering still to wear a Rolex which he bought with his own money Aldrin too.
ive got a great seamaster america cup edition..black face crono.i love it although the servicing is dear(£300)....but only every other year so not bad...never leaves my wrist.
just scratched it recently so thatll cost im guessing...i use toothpaste to clean it...brings it up right shiny!
TBH I really struggle with paying for style/marketing over form/function.
My phone tells the time very accurately, and I've always it with me. If I just wanted something pretty, then I'd buy fashion watches for a few quid and lob them as and well. And even before trashing my wrist I never spent more than £100 on a watch.
Its like guys I know/knew; they'd buy Boss suits, mine I'd get made-to-measure from either a backstreet tailor or in the Far East - cheaper, better made and would last - they'd drive new BMW's/Merc's, me Vauxhalls - all the same in a queue.
But they use to bitch about their mortgages, we never moved up the 'chain'; and their kids went to the local comp where they worried, whereas mine went private - because I could afford it as I didn't pay out for an overpriced lifestyle.
Suppose its all about values really... 😕
Well iainc? Did you get one?
EDIT Oops, just read above. I hope you get as much pleasure from yours as mine has given me.

Oh no - you've gone and spent loads of money on a quartz watch?
There is no real watchmakers art in a quartz movement. You've bought yourself an electronic oscillator with dividing circuits linked to a stepper motor. There are no tiny toothed wheels (not may anyway), no jewels, no escapement. What have you done?

Omega are one of the best time keepers Buy it
In Surrey every man and his dog has one.

No they didn't. NASA bought six brands of watch from a local jeweller (including a Rolex). The Omega was the only one to stand up to the tests.
You may not like them but it's best not to make things up.

Nearly true, I live in Surrey and I've got a Speedmaster, the dog has got a G-Shock
My girlfriend bought me a watch last month for my birthday, looked at Omegas but saw one of these and had to choose this, it looks a lot better in real life and was a lot cheaper than the Omega/Tag that I was looking at. The quality is fantastic and the history of Seiko is quite impressive!!

Good choice KKF. That's a fine watch.
Aaaah DS, how's the tummy?
I recommend Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. Classic and timeless. I wear mine all the time
If you want it to look good over the years - don't do blue. In fact don't do the cheapest Omega or a Rolex - save up and get a good one.
You won't regret it
Check out tz-uk.com; and, if you decide to buy, watchfinder is a good source for discounts.
Go for it - it's like a carbon or Ti bike in that every time you look at it you'll be reminded how great it is!
