Watches - another OCD problem
-
The best is probably the Omega watches. I think the Seiko Spacewalk I have is well protected also. The Omega works very differently to the Rolex and IWC. They use a cage to shield where the omega movements are anti magnetic, hence the glass backs.
They are all good watches though, you pays your money and takes your choice.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi, quick question for you experts out there.
Ever since someone posted a picture of the Omega Grey Side of the Moon in this thread I've wanted one. Even more so since I saw one 'in the flesh' on Monday.
I am India right now where apparently I can get legit watches for half the UK prices. Is there a catch? Is there any reason I shouldn't buy one during my trip? I'll be in Thailand next week - would I get an even better deal there?
-
Half price seems a bit to good to be true. Unless it's a Omega authorised dealer. The grey side is not as popular as the original darkside so you can get a better deal on it. Watches bought outside the EU are not VAT paid so this accounts for 20% of the saving. Getting another 20% discount is not unheard of!
Me personally I would rather pay a bit more and have the peace of mind knowing it can be returned to the dealer if there's an issue.
The best way to buy is on your credit card, not debit card. That way if you have an issue the card company is jointly responsible with the retailer for the product.
The more expensive the product generally the more back up you need.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I haven't been following the thread but I was wondering if anyone tried one of those Daluca Cordovan Nato straps? They look pretty nice. Im in the market for a new watch and am not looking to spend a ton. I was thinking,

I think the Cream face on that Seiko would look sweet with the brandy color Horween shell strap.

For anyone interested it would appear the size of the discount in India was overstated to me. I went to an authorised dealer (for a variety of brands). They didn't have Grey Side of the Moon but did try to sell me a Panerai Luminor Marina 44 automatic for £4000. Their list price was £4700. So from what I can see with a quick Google search the prices are no better than Heathrow prices.

I used to have one but mine was the first gen and extremely thick. It was very handy though and was good looking.

Lol looking back at it makes me miss owning one.

Temp, specifics on those boots? I love em….

@mikesantor The boots look like the WESCO Foot Patrol in Burgundy Domain leather. The boots are very nice but the Double Red SD is the star of that show! Nice one!! @Tempvs
