Dear John, George and all the other watch-addicts. I fell in love with two watches and I simply cannot decide which one to buy. It will be my first +300$ watch and I don't want to buy both. I passionately love the sporty and still decent dressy style of the similarly looking and appealing:
- Rolex Explorer I
- Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Mid Size (with black dial)
Since my wrist is rather slim, both models with steal bracelet look fantastic with me. However, decision is extremely hard!
Any inspirations (hopefully without initiating another Rolex-Omega-battle)? I have read a lot of older articles about the coax-movement (e.g. Walt Odets or Philip Woodward), however couldn't find any updated information since then. I also read Walt Odet's old article about the previous Explorer I, however the 3135 movement seems to be much improved since then too.
As you know, facts are:
- Explorer is higher priced than Seamaster
- Explorer doesn't have date indication
- Rolex have own movements (no ETAs) but are still mass-produced
- Coax-construcion lacks long-term experience
The problem is, that these few facts don't simplify my decision-making process at all. I still equally love both of them!
Thanks for your comments.
Regards,
Vorollo
