They're saying Omega is the new Rolex... A new Seamaster or Speedy Pro would clean out your wallet just as quick as a Rolex while still sticking to the tool watch theme.My Rolex is pretty much an end-game watch for me. HTF do you buy something else? I never look at watches anymore. But lately, I have been thinking of getting something again. Where do I begin?
But you don't have to hand over your first born or cuck yourself to the shop owner. Or buy seven hideous two tone monstrosities to get considered for the diver or chrono you actually want to buy.They're saying Omega is the new Rolex...

You need to add a Big Pilot or a PAM. And a chrono. And a dress watch. And several G-Shocks. Perhaps a Reverso or Tank. And a field watch.My Rolex is pretty much an end-game watch for me.

You're a gentleman for taking this on. But I do think the watch forum in particular is a trusted community.I know I spoke about a group buy from CNS & Watch Bands, and might still explore that later but for now I am going to be placing an order at The Watch Steward - https://www.thewatchsteward.com/
It you like Natos, you'll probably like these as a less bulky alternative.
Shipping direct is expensive though, and seems to get more expensive the larger the order (which doesnt really make a lot of sense), so I am going to do shipping via my Aramax Global Shopper account.
So, I thought I would see if anyone else wants to get in on the action, so I have created a shared google drive doc
The deadline for this would be EOD Friday 28th October. After that we can sort out money, and can then place the order. Could then do in country distribution via collection or Postnet or the likes

Only downside is your friends might laugh at you when you tell them you "entered the Rolex market" LMAOI saw this the other day. Might be a cheaper option for those wanting to enter the Rolex market.

Nice. Show us a pic.I wear one every day no issues
Very cool.
If you like this styling, I think Damasko do something quite similar. Not sure how they compare spec and price wise but the Dam will likely have their ice-hardening treatment which is very good.
I 've read that he is an avid watch collector. Only the best.Does anyone know what watch Putin wears? I always check him with his watch but my watch knowledge lacks a bit.
