I'm With You, Jason...
: Thanks to Bond I was a fan, and I thought that
: once I had the Bond SMP I would be set for
: life, now I know that is not true and will
: end up a collector over the years. I am more
: into the current models produced by Omega,
: but that is not to say that I would never
: buy a past model, as I have seen one or two
: that have caught my eye.
: Future plans for watches (over years and years)
: are: Next Up: Bond GMT (2535.80)
: Speedmaster Broad Arrow (Blue markers on white)

: Grail Watch: DeVille Co-axial Chronograph
: (4541.31) (This is Keith and his amazing
: photo's fault)
: As you can tell I am a Seamaster fan. I would
: have to say that I am now and always a fan
: of Omega, and any watch purchase I make for
: myself will be Omegas.
: Thanks for a great question Steve!!
I started out as a fan thanks to the Bond films bringing my attention to the SMP 2531.80. Then I started buying more Omegas, which put me in the "collector" category. The one thing I readily admit to is that I'm very fickle. I'll buy a watch, wear it for a while, and then trade it or sell it if I see another Omega I like better. I don't like to keep a bunch of watches that I only "half like". The watches I have I want to actually wear, so once a watch starts collecting dust I usually trade or sell it for something I like better.
