[quote=AN][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]AN: I’ve got the Omega Seamaster and it has held up extremely well. I’ve always been an Omega fan and I looked at the Rolex Perpetual Oyster before buying the Seamaster. After talking to some Rolex owners (and hearing some pretty harsh criticisms), I decided on the Omega. Never regretted it.
If I did buy another watch, I’d probably go with a Kobold. A buddy of mine, who is a former SEAL, has one and has beat the everlovin’ shit outta the thing. The watch, according to him, has taken all of this punishment without breaking a sweat. They’re pricey, but apparently worth it.[/quote]
Can you share what are/were some of the criticisms? Do you know if Omega have the same criticism? I like the Rolex Datejust, although I still like the Constellation’s band better.
I agree about the Omega holding up extremely well. There were a few times where I accidentally bang the face against some hard corner. Some of the cheaper watch would have crack or shatter the face but with the Omega, there wasn’t even a single scratch. I also love the fact that I don’t need to replace battery. That’s a big plus for me.
Took a look at Kobold and they’re not my style. I don’t like leather/fabric bands and the few metal bands they have looks too busy for me.[/quote]
UDT guys had team issued Rolexs. Not sure if they got to keep them afterwards.
My daily wearer is a Tag. It was a graduation gift. My wife for a wedding gift gave me a semi-custom Breitling. It is so Bling! It is actually a little on the obnoxious side but it so beautiful. I will leave it to my kid… If I ever have one. I took a look at the Vostok and they look pretty cool as well…
