Options please!

Put this on Omega forum since my options are so far all Omega but since I'm after options.....?

Hi,

Just a bit of fun really but then again it may just push me over the edge to buy something!

I have £2,350 gbp ($3,800 usd).

I want to use it for another watch, I already have a brand new 2254.50 (on Bond bracelet and with a "Non AC Cup" dial fitted).

I'm dithering as usual but am tempted to buy a chrono, the exception to the chrono part being the DeVille "Power Reserve" which has been tempting me for two years now.

I like a lot of watches but can't decide enough to pull the trigger.
I am fickle but then again maybe it's just that I've made a few incorrect decisions and am scared to do it again?
Either way I really want to decide before prices go up yet again!

I like the Speed master BA 57, the "Patch" LE (although I'd prefer a date function), the DeVille chrono (very nice but will it wear too big for my 6.5 / 6.75" wrists?), the AT chrono and of course the DeVille Power Reserve.
I really like the PO but the chrono is too big and the non chrono is another dive watch, which I'm not sure is the way I want to go.
I'd like something that will look good in a dress scenario but not necessarily a full blown dress watch.

These are just a few of course and I'm all ears as to alternatives.

So, I'm not asking you to tell me what to buy, that's my job! But I am asking you to educate me as to possibilities so please feel free to give me options. Of course, as always pics are greatly appreciated.

Mac.

If I had that much to blow on a watch, I'd see about picking up a used JLC Master Compressor Memovox (yes Avalon, again )....

It's got the in-house movement, sweet alarm function, 42mm but doesn't wear big, and not something you see every day.

JLC is a great watch

I used to have the Master RDM and yes you guessed...I flipped it!

I'd have it back in a heart beat but I can't afford it

Pre owned is fine but I never have any luck finding what I want pre owned and if i do it's not in the configuration or condition I want

And your hope is that yet more options will help you decide? Not so sure about that.

I read your post a couple of times, but I'm still not clear if you are after only chronograph options or not.

Just in case you are, I'll suggest one of these:






Sporty enough to be casual, and dressy enough to be worn to work. I'm not a chronograph sort of guy, but I do like this one very much, and it's well under your budget.

Good luck.

Glad you like it!

The case is 38.5 mm not including the crown or pushers, and it's 15mm thick - partly due to the domed sapphire crystal. It's also available with an acrylic crystal, but I went with sapphire for durability and also because not many sapphire crystals are domed.

ETA 7750 in it so quite reliable, and of course you have the "wobble" too.

It's been a great watch so far.

Thanks..

Yes, yes, yes! I have the same thing with the standard dial, but display back. Not getting much wrist time so it may need to find a new home soon. Then again, it sure is pretty!
