Hello All, first let me thank everyone for the amount of resources and content already from this forum. I am glad I came across in in my research because I have already answered a lot of my own questions on it.

That said, I could use some help answering the few questions below and also welcome any feedback/suggestions from the experts here on the three watches I am torn between as my first Omega purchase. For context- I already have a black dial/bezel Tag Aquaracer that is my daily- so while I would like to get the traditional black Speedy at some point, I am focused on getting a slightly different look in my collection (which at this time really only includes the Tag and a Seiko Sea Urchin pepsi of note). It has been between these and a Rolex Datejust- but the more I look at the Omegas, the more I get wrapped up in their beauty even compared to a classic like the Datejust.

- For these watches below- do you typically have to be cautious on fakes or were they not really ever replicated as much as some of the more popular versions?

- Servicing- I've read that if the Reduced hasn't been serviced lately it will likely need one and can be expensive given the modular chronograph. Any experiences here and how much am I roughly looking at?

- Anyone have one of these for sale full set they are parting with? PM if so!

- Any suggestions on ranges based on what you have been seeing lately in the market? I have searched through the forums, eBay, eLady Mall, Bernard Watch, etc... but it's hard to tell what is reasonable vs. outrageous since these are all new to me.


Omega 3575.20
Love the fact it has the extra complication as well as it being full-size and not the Reduced as the two that follow. Plus the white gold bezel is a nice touch and looks sharp. This picture is an actual watch I am looking at vs. the two below are stock images I found.


Omega 3311.20 or 375.0043 or 175.044-
I have seen all of these model numbers associated with this similar look- are they all actually the same style just produced in different years? It's on my short list because of the gold- feel that it will give me a dressier look in the collection.


Omega 3310.20-
I believe this is the oldest of the gang, and am finding it increasingly hard to find something that truly doesn't show the 30+ years in age, but the look is just flawless and sharp!




Thanks in advance and glad to hopefully soon be part of this community!
Many have chimed in, but my vote is for the 3575.20. I just love the pop of the blue on the white dial. All are excellent choices and are sure to be fine looking and functional pieces. Think I will wear it now with all of the talk.

And for that I am grateful. I am not alone.
