    So Swaye, these are two that are rapidly gaining in my short list...IFL like the late 50's vintage looking pieces. They just scream Bond with the cig lighter in Goldfinger.





    Love me some Tudor and if you like the 57 trilogy Seamaster check out the Speedmaster. Killer.


    NTD, BB

    Is that one auto or you have to wind it? That's the one thing I don't like about the Moon watch.

    I do like Tudor Black (ISAFNRC) Bays. I don’t think they’d look good on me per se, but if I had extra coin I’d get my brother one. He’s big into Omegas.

    Shit Swaye...the '57 Speedmaster is like $9,000 new. Now we're getting into Sub pricing.

    Yellow- I’m not as knowledgeable as Swaye, and he clearly has a preference for Omega professionals, but the Seamaster looks like a beaut! I’d definitely consider that one, I love it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.

    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.

    On the left is my daddy's GMT II Coke that I need to inherit now god damn it!! On the right is my pour people Pierce Brosnan Omega. It holds up pretty well I think for a fraction of the price.


    As a recent purchaser of a 16710 Coke, I’m pretty biased in favor of it. But if you think you’re eventually going to get it anyway...that ‘57 Trilogy Seamaster looks amazing. What is the pricing on the Seamaster vs the Professional Swaye is pushing?

    So there’s like 4 different “Seamaster” watches. This one is based on the OG 1957 version so no date feature. This one isn’t as “tool” watching look but it’s still good to 1000 ft. I am not for Scuba so it will work fine for me fishing and swimming.

    Yeah, I’ve seen other Seamasters, just not that one. I like it a lot. I missed the fact it doesn’t have a date, but I also like the clean lines. Similar to the Sub No Date...which I want. Lol.

    @YellowSnow yeah the 57 Trilogy Speedmaster is a replica and it is a manual wind, which is awesome btw. I am not sure if the 57 Speedy is auto or not, but it is co-axial I think. So maybe? Keep in mind there are two different 57 Speedys - one is a 39MM exact replica called the Trilogy or 60th anniversary (also the Seamaster you like and a Railmaster as part of the "trilogy") and a different homage to the 57 done to modern specs. This is all "if memory serves."

    I know a dealer I have worked with who has 2019 full set trilogy (or 60th anniversary) for 6400 right this second. Perfect shape. And this watch will actually gain in value and is collectible, unlike most Omegas. Think I have a friend looking to sell a mint example as well right now. If you wanted one we could get you one for closer to 6, not 9. Or we could just rob something.

    @YellowSnow I see all this interest in divers from you, but I thought you were a GMT guy? If you like GMTs and Tudor, they have a wonderful watch you'd love I think. I've owned it for a time. Delightful.



    Can get that for 4K all day long.

    Jomashop is having a sale on Tudors. You can get an additional $500.00 off with the code SDTU500. I can’t find this exact color combo though.
