zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

When I bought my first Omega, someone on this Forum, as a matter of fact, "warned me." One is never enough, I suppose -- altho maybe it's also safe to say that some of us keep coming back to our favorites.

I'm going to guess it took me 7 years to get into a position where I could buy my first, which was used. And it was sad to give that up, even when I bought the exact same model new. I remember thinking, "well, I've done it, now what?"

My 2254.50 came next.

Not like some folks will tell you, that we can't be faithful to just one, or that we are never satisfied. I think that it simply becomes a transformation of our lifestyle. You look at it, you learn, you want to try out more; compare.

The advice someone gave here about saving is important, too. I had to beg, borrow, and, steel (from myself) to make that first Seamaster work financially. But that made it worth all the more. If they come to quick or to easily, financially, I think they become like those "easy" women you heard about in high school (no offense, ladies: Guys can have reputations as well).

So work hard for it, then love on it when you finally land it. (Would anyone be bothered if I started referring to my watches as "she"?)
