·I've been re-engaged with watches this year after a few years away - up until last year my last purchase was a Rolex in 2012. Coming back into the market I'm finding the vintage market to be a whole lot of fun - lots of variety to buy, and heaps of interest in the hobby due to instagram and YouTube.
Having said that, I've not been interested at all in Omega's class of 22 or 23 (with the exception of the CK859, which is basically a vintage homage watch anyway). It's all kind more of the same and I've not seen a watch at the ADs which I think I would look down at my wrist everyday with a smile.
But I have found all the modern microbrands a rich vain of exploration - it much closer to the combination of art, science and lifestyle which is what makes watches interesting for me. It was also fun to buy a moonswatch, even though it feels like a piece of plastic with absolutely no long term future.
