Of all the (few) Omega watches I have, the 376.0822 is the one I would have a very hard time letting go of. The 168.023 would be a close second.

..but then, I haven't found my 145.022 transitional yet.. c'mon baby, come to papa!

If I could, I'd go for a 2913, 2914, 2915 too. The perfect trifecta.

Speedmaster Professional, if I have to pick only one (thank goodness that's not the case). Why? it's the watch that got me started and I emotionally connect to the history of the piece in several ways.

My favourite Omega is usually my most recent one. All kidding aside, any speedy pro with the broad arrow hour hand gets my vote.

hard to say which one I would prefer. I think the first watch I ordered ( PO Skyfall) and this first one I paid for ( AT GMT blue dial, blue leather straps) are my favourites.
Fortunately I need not to decide on only one.

I'm torn. The speedmaster has always been my favorite but I wear my PO on a daily basis and I love it. It's to hard to choose!

The 2531.80 was my first expensive watch, so that will always be special to me. However, my Soccer Timer is probably my favorite and will never leave the stable.

A great thread - enjoying the pictures. Have signed up to contribute.

Not the latest technology and not the most expensive but this 2014 Petrograd has found a special place in my heart.

One of only 100 and I've changed the burgundy strap for black - hopefully making it somewhat unique.

I like it for its antique face and it has proven to be exceptionally smooth to wear - a class act.

Love the Seamaster and Seamaster Planet Ocean series...especially the Platinum GMT. That said, I really have developed a fixation on the Gray Side of the Moon Speedy.

I would have to agree with you on that. I also have my sights set on the 1957 Speedy reissue. That is a gorgeous watch!

Damn, I really love the SMPO LMLE too. I really like the glossy black bezel better than the matte dark grey bezel that my SMPO has, that's not to say I don't like my SMPO, I just like the glossy black ceramic bezel better.

The Speedmaster will always have a subtle elegance that will make it my favorite watch.

This is my favorite primarily because it's my wife's favorite and the one she really wanted me to have. She was there with me when I bought it and actually encouraged me to get it. It's also the watch purchase that ultimately got me to go on the VIP Watchmaker Course trip that reunited me with my uncle. This is the ultimate keeper for me. It also checks tons of boxes!

i like the james bond 300 professional 41mm most - i love the wave-dial and also the smooth strap and the helium valve.

i also adore the vintage de luxe seamasters, though i dont own one (yet)

I'd have to go with a Speedmaster its just all the history with the watch and I feel it is very ascetically pleasing to the eye. In all its variations most if not all of them look stunning. Its a timeless watch thats design stays in touch for decades if not centuries 😉

I only own two omegas, soon to be three, and out of those I like my 1969 chronostop driver becuase it is a bit quirky and it was my wedding gift from my wife. But I really want a seamaster bullhead from 1969. I am hoping to buy one at some point in the not to distant future.

I happened to find my present one just a few months ago. It replaced the one with damaged dial that I already had in the collection. They are definitely not easy to come by, in original, untouched condition. Those listed for sale are priced at really silly levels, IMO. Often tampered with too

For me its one of those I want so badly that I would not really care about the price if it was as nice as yours, but I would not pay more than 5000 punds, That seems roughly the going rate for these watches. If I couldn t find a nice used one I would buy the new one becuase I think it is a nice watch too.
