LOL

went to some shops today, the 2220.80 is actually about £400 cheaper than the chronograph version, i'm also very tempted by the co-axial aqua terra, it has a see through case back which is very cool

Il Re, it's your money and all, but wouldn't buying a much cheaper watch and spending the rest on a great vacation or something be better?

I hear you man, the thing is, for one, i tend to sell these watches on after a few years of use, and they retain their value to about 60-70% of their buying price, in terms of the vacations i get company holidays paid for (got paid £1000 to go to dubai, and got £1000 spending money) so holidays are covered, i have a decentish car, and i have been working very very hard and have some spare cash so i just thought why not treat myself, i do understand what you're saying though, my brother was asying the same, he's happy with his £100 seiko, guess it's just different opinions

In that case, do whatever you feel like doing.

Plus, at least in America, a poll showed that women look at watches first before anything else when judging a man. Your brother must never get laid.


Yo, what do you do for a living btw?

civil engineer (in theory, i don't have a degree but i've learnt through work experience) but mostly do business side of things, bit of engineering stuff here an there

Too many pages to read through so I didn't bother. If you're still taking opinions #3 is my fave.

Well the majority of polls ive noticed,woman tend to look at a mans shoes before anything else.

kicks are always important

Number 4 is by far my favorite.

Don't get 2... too bland.

Seriously??

When I bought my 2220.80 the price difference between it and the Chronograph was around 200 USD.

Are you sure you have checked the price of the 2220.80 the one that has the Co-Axial movement? It might have been the older model. Did it have Co-Axial written on it with a red seamaster?

No wonder I've been having trouble scoring lately... I need to clean all my shoes this weekend

Go for number 4 Rehan...

Have you checked the 42mm POs? They are pretty nice..

yea, my wrist isn't that huge, i once had a 45mm watch and i thought it looked too big, i'd say 41mm is the biggest i like to go, so the seamaster is fine for that, i guess stretching to the 42mm wouldn't be so bad, but if i bought the po i would want the chronograph version of that, and that is definately more expensive noticably

#2 no question for me.

3 and 4 are just trying too hard, to get stuff on it you'll never need. They make you look like a wannabee adventurer, or someone who buys a supercool car to get the groceries and drop off his kids. Bottom line: it's just too much show off. but that's just my opinion.

A nice watch is something you can keep all your life. I have a nice Omega myself, which I got for my 16th birthday. I don't wear it too often, but it's real nice to take it out of for the special occasions.
