I have a "Sapphire Sandwich" that I wear daily for work. I love the fact that it's relatively bullet proof, and sometimes if I need a moment of Zen I'll take it of and watch the movement run through the caseback. I bought it almost 5 years ago, and still love putting it on. I have found myself fantasizing about picking up a neo-vintage hesalite model on a alligator strap, but they're still pretty pricey. If you like the sapphire, but like the look of the Hesalite crystal. The "First Omega in Space" Speedmaster Moonwatch is a really nice balance, smaller case size, domed crystal, vintage looking lume. The new White Speedmaster is really really nice.

Here's my Omega 18K gold Seamaster XVI from the 50's. I have the original box, original Omega strap and original 18K watch buckle.

I purchased my Omega in late 1989 while I was in Hong Kong. The bracelet broke a number of years ago and I wore my other watches. I had it fixed but then had a problem with a broken crown. Last December I took it to the Omega shop in SFO and they sent it to Switzerland for a complete refurbishment. New bracelet parts, new crown and crystal. Polished and returned after about 7 months. It cost me $999 but I now have a like-new, usable, slim and lightweight watch. I was surprised to hear so many compliments after I started wearing it.

Just saw that the list prices of Omega watches has just gone up again. US tariffs on Swiss watches seems to have effected the list prices.

Seems this may be the norm for a while…

I am really appreciating my Moon watch. The light weight and tapered bracelet really make it a comfortable wear. It is becoming the watch I wear most.

Interesting that the new Planet Oceans got rid of the HE crown.
