zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

I'd just like to start by thanking everyone who
has contributed postings to this forum. They
have given me the confidence to purchase an
Omega watch. I watch I plan to keep for the
rest of my life.

I spent some time looking at the various barnds
and models, and finally decided on a Omega
Seamaster 120m Auto.
This was not a choice made on cost.
It appears from this forum that most people
prefer the Seamster Professional. For those
thinking of purchasing, don't overlook the
120M range. I bought the 2501.31 with the
silver face. It is a watch that looks great
casual or formal. I bought it about a month
ago, and have received compliments from mostly
women about how good it looks.

I also decided on going for a mechanical movement.
Why? For reasons stated in an article on
this website, and mostly because I liked the
smooth,calm way the second hand moves. I still
look at it, and feel relaxed.

I am also extremely pleased with the accuracy.
That is mostly due to the fact that I have
employed techniques learnt from
this website on monitoring gains and loses
of the watch in different postions. I have
found that my watch gains about 2 secs or so
a day during the time I wear it, 7am to 11pm
for a normal day. By storing it in the 12 up
position overnight it loses a second or so.
This has meant that my watch is still within
a few seconds of the exact time from when
I set it a few weeks ago.

Anyway, sorry to go on. Thanks again for
everyone's contribtion. For those thinking
of buying, go for it.
