A brain-boggling concept...please elaborate 😀
Just a totally unreflected reaction saying: I need ANY of them, no matter which!
All understood, I'm a relative 'newbie' to the world of Omega and I'm a learning 'sponge'. However, I've always tried to do as much research as possible in all the watches I've bought for my collections.
I've been collecting watches, mainly vintage Rolex / Tudor tool watches, for quite a while.
It seems that the collective knowledge on the forums is quite astonishing.
However, where Rolex / Tudor is concerned, it's also quite noticeable how opinion on specifics changes over time. It's not unusual for statements of fact to become 'incorrect or inaccurate ' as more information is unearthed in the fullness of time. I've seen many Rolex values change dramatically as new information has been unearthed.
A couple of pics below of my Omega and Rolex/Tudor collections - they are a bit out of date (2015) with a lot added since. I also have a few Heuers, Zenith and Longines amongst others. Unfortunately, now that they have to live in safety deposit boxes, it's impossible to get them all together for new 'Group' shots. I guess it's a sign of the times !!
I appreciate all the knowledge available on the Forum and I'll continue to try to soak it all up.
Looks like you just showed us a picture a watch shop.
A local watch shop posted an ad today offering to buy watches to stock their inventory, pretty sure the owner was looking for somebody like you haha.
I have never understood the market premium for tropical and wouldn't pay a premium for it. That said I am continually proven wrong by the market on this point..
I will say to the eye there is good tropical and bad tropical and you really have to see a dial in person to know which Is which
It should be beautiful. There is such a thing as wow pretty tropical and ugly tropical. That’s where it gets interesting. A natural and unpredictable aging creates a new look that goes above and beyond a non-tropical example. Some watches look better in a crisp black vs faded brown. It really depends. However, you’ll know it when you see it. You don’t need to be told oh it’s more expensive because it’s Tropical. You should look at a stunning tropical watch with character and warmth and think ‘I would pay more for this, I love it’.
