: Okay if I respond if I have FOUR?

: First Omega purchase: Seamaster Pro
: "Bond", cuz I liked it. That was
: 4.5 years ago and haven't had a single
: regret.

: Second, an Omega DeVille Prestige, because I
: wanted a dressier watch. Sometimes I desired
: a bit more formal watch than the SMP for
: dressier business situations. Love this
: watch, though my need for fancier business
: wear is much less than I had predicted. So
: this one gets very little wrist time.

: Third, a vintage Omega Seamaster, because I
: wanted to start collecting vintage watches.
: I was in too much of a hurry to jump into
: vintage and selected a style that was just
: too plain and too similar to other watches I
: have, so I virtually never wear it. So I'd
: say I was disappointed in my choice relative
: to my needs, but not the watch itself.

: Fourth, a modern Omega Dynamic non-chronograph,
: because I liked it. Quickly discovered this
: was destined to be along side my SMP as my
: two favorite watches. Forget the factory
: bracelet which is a hair puller on some
: guys. This is a gem on a HUGE range of strap
: possibilities that compliment the black dial
: and yellow highlights of the watch. Makes it
: a great all around watch. Black shark strap
: makes it quite dressy, brown leather makes
: it very elegant casual and yellow kevlar
: makes it very sporty.

: And to top it off, the Dynamic is the most
: affordable new/recent Omega watch. List
: price was $995 (chronograph was about
: $1250). It and its chronograph counterpart
: are true 'sleeper' models--ones that were
: greatly overlooked when they came out and
: really didn't become popular until Omega
: stopped production on them.

: So my suggestion for a second Omega would be
: the Dynamic in your preference of
: chronograph or non-chronograph. Still
: available new, but also readily available
: used. Chronograph version retails for $1250,
: new discounted $850-950, used $650.
: Non-Chronograph version retails for $995,
: new discounted $650-700, used $495.

Hmm now I might have to add the dynamic to my choice of a second Omega.

It was orginally between the Speedy and the Deville Prestige (also because I wanted something a little dressier)but now I may think about the Dynamic because of it's affordable pricing.
