I actually went to an AD and tried on a bb58 and wasn’t impressed..also I am drawn to the omega brand a little more

Atta boy!

After seeing that 212.30.41.20.01.003 it’s making me think of the nttd I looked it up on mesh and it looks great. I guess at first I didn’t “get it” because the dial was less detailed than the wave dials ..but I bet the black really looks deep in person

The glossy black dial gives it the depth, it’s flawless and is complemented well by the ceramic bezel, it was my only watch for 6 years, now worn in rotation but always brings a smile when it goes back on the wrist, it won’t be leaving the watch collection anytime soon, my son has also claimed dibs on it. I don’t think it will disappoint you but as I said it’s really best to try see any watch in the metal if you can. Good luck hunting😁

Is the NTTD the one that some say is hard to read?

What about the BB58 didn’t impress you?

Omega is typically a nicer watch but the price will match.

Tough to beat a Speedmaster, a classic watch up there with the sub as one of the great watches.
