In Response To: "2517.80.00" or "2541.80.00" ()

Both are great watches. You need to decide which features you would rather have. On one hand, you have a movable, sporty bezel and a solid clasp. On the other hand, the AT has a beautiful dial w/ applied markers, stylish bracelet and an understated elegance. The clasp is the weakest point. Both watches are equally versitile, suit or jeans or shorts.

If I had to choose only one, I'm not sure I could. Both have great features, but my ideal Omega would include features from both models.

Bottom line, see them both in person. Examine them and try them on. Go with the one that you like the best and wear it with pride.

If you are debating, chances are that this won't be your last watch so don't make the choice too difficult!
