Pick your fighter for $4k!

I have a few pairs of watches in the same price range. Tbh this would be a tough choice for myself! Good thing I don’t have to 😁 Imo both Datejust and constellation are on the same level of difficulty to find. A perfect grey dial with full tritium. A clean waffle with bumper movement. What’s funny is one is solid 18k gold and the other is full steel with a bracelet; 2 different metals but same price point. Which would you rather have? Have you ever had such a priced pair? And gotten rid of one, and why?

I would keep both unless I really needed the cash. I would regret selling either one eventually, but if I had to pick one to keep, it would be the 1603. That's mainly because I end up wearing gold watches a lot less compared to my steel watches.

I do pick up the Connie way less. I think you’re onto something!

I’d go with the Rolex because I have a thing for Datejusts. Also, I really like the gray dial and prefer a bracelet.

They are very different watches, so I don't see any reason to sell either, unless you have a chance to upgrade.

Chalk and cheese.

Apart from the presumed sales value there is very little these two watches have in common and can’t really be compared.

Both watches are beautiful on their own - I would be hard pressed to let one go. Keep them both because both are uncommon und hard to find.

I’d say keep the DJ too if you really need to sell one, way easier to wear!
Probably easier to sell at a price you’ll be ok with too though… 😁

As others have said, two very different watches and I like both. I probably wouldn't sell either one unless I had to, but if one had to go it would be the Rolex - easier to sell than the Connie and I'm a sucker for crosshair waffle dials.

I prefer the DJ. I really like the grey dial with tritium combo.

The Grey dial with a crenellated bezel is a stunner. That’s a watxh that’s been on my list for ever.

I have both. Both are interesting, perhaps the connie more than the ghost. I do wear the DJ more.

That’s kinda the thing about these two. The Rolex is much easier to turn over and the Omega has a really neat dial. I’m trying my best to keep my entire collection this year. Maybe sell a few lower end ones to have money for travel.

Wow a majority of you are choosing the DJ!

What year is your DJ?

omegawatchlover · Feb 10, 2024

1973! So it’s got hacking seconds 😲
