    Love the no date 2 liner Swaye. Agree you shouldn’t have let that one go, but you could always pick up another sometime. I think a classic no date Sub is probably what I’ll do. Too bad I waited so long to start buying...seems like I started right at peak prices and scarcity for Rolexes. Poor timing on my part. But this piss poor football season has allowed me to interest myself in something new, watches. I went to the Maryland Michigan game yesterday and just enjoyed watching a game with zero expectations of a come from ahead loss...then went home and watched that shot show. Luckily my wife had the smarts to change the recording since local Fox decided to show the Nats parade instead of college football...Thank you Larry Scott. But got back for kick off anyway.

    Yeah it's a sort of a rough tim to be entering the market, but if you aren't going for some major collection and just an odd piece or two here or there then no big deal. Just buy it once, and no matter the price if you hold it for 20 years it will be worth more than whatever you pay for it now. Yeah Nats parade locked me out of the game as well. Turns out it didn't matter. We suck.

    Lol Swaye. the shot of your collection is kind of ridiculous...that is pretty baller dude.

    Yeah it's outrageous when I think about it, but keep in mind that is over a decade of collecting and slowly trading up, etc. It's a process. lulz

    As you've said before many times, it's not as though Rolex is twice as good of a watch as Omega. Rather, Rolex just got their reads down in terms of branding a long time ago.

    I mean fuck - the Planet Ocean is a total baller watch for like have the price of a used Sub.


    Dude Omega is great. I've owned damn near a dozen of them.

    I'm sure I'll be skewered for saying this, but I like the look of most Omega's more than comparable Rolex watches. On many models the bezels appear narrower / pushed to the edge on the Omega (even if they're really not), maybe a little more modern looking.

    You won't be skewered by me! Thats what makes watch collecting interesting...if we all thought the same way there wouldn't be so many brands. There are nearly as many Omega collectors as Rolex collectors. No question it is the second most collected watch out there. Go get one. Or three.
