·I have a watch from the dark side coming in tomorrow by noon, and it required relinquishing a Tudor Black Bay Red on bracelet and leather, one of my 2 Planet Ocean 2500, and a Speedmaster Date...
I've gone to the dark side...

·Managed to get a ceramic Submariner last summer then I got hooked. Ingratiated myself to the local AD and then got hooked up with the Batman and the 50th anniversary Sea Dweller. (Still don't know why I got the call on the Sea Dweller, must have that non-flipper face) Dark side collection has now surpassed my Omegas.

·For me it depends on the rolex model, gold submariner = demon, a datejust in silver is at the same level as a speedmaster for me

·I’ve officially gone to the dark side twice now and didn’t intend to. Last week I made a couple of hour drive with the intention of looking and potentially purchasing a Grand Seiko Snowflake. Before finding the Seiko Boutique I decided to stop into Rolex just to see what they had on hand. Ofcourse all the watches I asked about were not in stock until I got to my last named watch.
I was instantly impressed with the Rolex that was offered but I decided to pass at that moment and to continue on my initial journey of seeing the snowflake. Man was I stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to decide between these two beautiful watches after seeing the Grand Seiko in the flesh.
In the end I made my choice based on the conclusion that I can find the GS brand new for cheaper on the secondary market and the Rolex is trading used for nearly what I paid brand new. I guess I’m an Omega and Rolex guy now!

·Explorer II growing on me. With this model still occasionally being available unlike the other stainless models I wonder if it's popularity is increasing?

·biggest thing keeping me away from Rolex was the popularity, literally everyone has them in major cities, 99% of people wear them as a status symbol, and that's a turn off for me
...But you realize they are a safe choice for a reason. incredible build quality. picked up a 16760 and loving it right now. but nothing beats a speedmaster!
