I hate Omega!

Omega is by far my favorite watch brand. They offer the best bang for buck in my price bracket of about 4.000 to 5.000 €. I don't want to spend more for a watch. I don't feel comfortable carrying around even more money on my wrist each day.

In fact Omega offers watches that good for that money that I haven't found a brand that can even keep up. Maybe Tudor but their offering is rather limited.

I have and love the Speedmaster, I had and liked the Seamaster and I would really like to get another Omega.

Globemaster, Railmaster, Aqua Terra - all great watches and I think I wouldn't even be able to decide between them. But god why don't they offer good clasps on any of these models. I am a bracelet guy but the bracelets of these watches don't even have a fine adjustment - let alone a quick one. I tried the AT and sold it. The bracelet simply didn't fit. Too lose or too tight, both is not comfortable.

So Omega offers watches that good that they ruin other brands for me but most of the watches I like just are not wearable for me.

I am sad and had to rant, I am sorry!

I know both of them. But I don’t find any band for the names AT, GM or RM.

But uncle Seiko offers a half link for the Tudor BB 58 now. That is great - I had the same problem with that bracelet.



Isn’t that was true love is about sometimes?
Several of these cross fit across multiple lines, just depends on lug depth and shape. The Forster and US threads show lots of different fittings, so may be worth exploring. The US Holzer for example, is one of my favorite bracelets (I own a few originals in that style from JBC). I have the Holzer on my SM300, but it has also lived in my Speedmaster.

Omega told me that they'll add a fine clasp adjustment when you upload an avatar.

So buy a Rolex. Problem solved.


The avatar is a joke because Dan promised me a decent clasp when I add one.


Rolex doesn’t speak to me with their current image in general. In my eyes they are just the most attainable one of the three brands that are instagram fotm right now.

So buy a "NOS" Rolex. Problem solved.

(if there is any available, i would be in as well, new references are no go for me, maybe except for 126040 looks not to bad in person, awful on photos though)

Can i have the last three minutes of my life back, please?


You should really learn to read faster!


On a serious note. I worded it ridiculous I know. But it is annoying to me. All that nice models I have to rule out because of a minor fact.

Here's a thought. Size the bracelet just a little large, buy some dumbells and do wrist exercises until your wrist gets bigger and fits like you want. 😉
