    Hi OF

    TL : DR
    On Fridays, I want a smaller weekend watch with minimal fuss which means no date. For Omega is Watchco my only option? For the last four years most of my wrist time is with a Grand Seiko Snowflake and a Lange One during the week and a Seiko SRP777 Turtle for the weekend.



    LONGER
    Question 1: Will a watchco no date meet my needs? Basically, a used watch that I won’t baby and keep for 5-10 years or forever. I don’t want to go over 12.5mm thickness which is what I have now with the Grand Seiko.

    Question 2: Are there any other no date Omega Seamasters? It looks like a 300M 2254 fits the bill except for the date.

    Question 3: How does the watchco compare to some other watches I am researching that might work. The examples I have come up with have a better Power Reserve, but that’s about all I saw in terms of advantages
