·Hi all,
Very glad to find this forum.
A little bit about myself and how I got here.
I have been collecting watches for some time. My nicest watches have been mostly Tissot watches and a couple G-Shocks. These are great watches for the money.
Over these years, I was wondering whether I would get a high-end watch one day. I have been very happy with my Tissot and still am. I didn't want to buy high-end just because of the prestigious brand or because the watch looks good. It has to have something more than just the brand and the look. That day has come however (see why towards the end of this introduction). And for me "high-end" means Omega, Glashutte Original, Rolex, IWC and a few others. I am aware there are higher ends up there, but they are not for me.
I like the Glashutte Original Senator, but it's too dressy. I am looking for some thing that I could use every day. The IWC Ingenieur appeals to me too but not as much as Omega and Rolex.
Rolex was my #1 choice. I know Rolex when I was a child since my dad had one. I have always like simple dials so the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm black dial resonates well with me. 38mm would have been better but couldn't find any.
Then I discovered the genius invention of George Daniels. The Co-Axial movement. As I learned more about the 8800 movement, I knew I found something that I want more than a Rolex, I want the 8800 movement. So now, I am facing with the dilemma and am having such a hard time to decide between the 38mm Aqua Terra black dial and the 42mm Diver 300m black dial.
Hope to learn more from this forum.
