An Omega collection?

[Day dream mode on]

When I was "day dreaming" on the other day (let's call this day #1), I came up with an idea ... How nice it would be if I have a collection full of Omega? Let's face it, they are beautiful watches, nicely made, and comfortable to wear. And they are heck a lot cheaper than to collect Rolex(es) ... LOL :D

So far, I already have my Seamaster Pro co-axial blue bond (2220.80) and a Seamaster Pro GMT (Great) white (2538.20). I intend to keep both of them cause they are wonderful in their own ways.





The blue bond co-axial is great looking with the larger applied indices (one of the best lume I've seen) and the bond bracelet is very comfortable to wear. The Great white is more tool and stands out with the white dial and red GMT hand.

So, two down? The question is: how many to go? haha~ I would need the following:

• Omega Seamaster Professional 1200m Ploprof on mesh bracelet.
  This is my grail watch and I picked this one over Rolex Deepsea Sea Dweller (not really wearable for my wrist size and I didn't like the tapered bracelet on it) and the Panerai 243 1000m Submersible (I don't know its wearable for my wrist size either, and can't agree on the way Panerai prices their products). I am going to get one of these (1200m Ploprof). Its just the matter of time.

• Omage Seamaster Professional Non-Americas Cup (2230.50) with 18k white gold bezel insert and applied indices.

  Or the limited dial SMP with grey dial

  I love the case size and shape of the SMPs. And I think a either of one would complete my collection of SMPs.
  
  
• Then the next one gets tough. Should it be the 39mm Aqua Terra black dial with polished hands (or off white dial with blue hands) with cal. 2500 co-axial movement, 39mm Railmaster with cal. 2500 co-axial movement, or the new 39mm Aqua Terra grey dial with cal. 8500 co-axial movement.

  The cal. 2500 Aqua Terra obviously have a price advantage and I think they look great. The Railmaster is great looking in a "tool" kinda way with the printed dial and no date. But I don't know if "no date" would bug me in the long run. The new cal. 8500 Aqua Terra looks beautiful and it features the new Omega in-house cal. 8500 co-axial movement. But of course, the price reflect the feature of the watch. :p I am still undecided on this one.
  
  

Planet Ocean? I am not ruling them out but its not on the top of the list because of the (scratchable) double AR coated crystal and I can't tell where is the 12 o'clock lumed indice in the dark (12 and 6 looks exactly the same in the dark).

How about Speedmaster? While I like the idea of a chronograph complication, I don't want the higher cost for serving the movement and the added chance of things might go wrong (more moving parts, higher chance of things that might go wrong). X-33 Speedmaster is nice, but I am not a quite a battery-powered quartz kinda guy. And I don't like the elevated price after the model has been discontinued. :p

So Speedmaster? Maybe some day? But not any time soon.
