    I'm new to watch collecting and my choice for first high quality watch, over a grand, is the......................Omega Seamaster 600 42mm with the Orange numerals. I just can't get over how this watch strikes me!!! IMG_7053.JPG

    Great acquisition @SL1800 ! Congratulations!

    I own the same watch with the same configuration (orange numerals, stainless steel bracelet). I originally purchased the watch on a black rubber strap with orange contrast stitching, then got the bracelet (later) from an Omega Botique as an incentive (freebie) in a multi-watch purchase. I swap the rubber strap and bracelet regularly as I like them both, equally.

    If you can believe it, what I like most about the stainless steel bracelet is its heft ! With that watch on that bracelet, there's no doubt you've got some serious hardware on your wrist (and it somehow feels more worth the $$$ you paid for it) :)

    Here are couple of shots of strap variants I wear (the Nato strap is made by Omega)

    Congrats!

    The PO was my first mechanical watch also back in 2012. I ended up with the 2201.50 (42mm) with the 2500D movement. Its a love hate because tho it was my first "real" watch, on the other hand it opened a door I cannot seem to close now. 5 watches in my collection and "thrill of the hunt" game still going strong.
