Dark Side of the Moon,

First Speedmaster with considerable news in quite some time (full ZrO2 case, including pushers/crown). Big at 44.25mm but looking smaller due to the colors. Nice polished+brushed effects on the case, looking like the classic Speedys, case that is not as thick as it looks, since a lot of that is due to the front & back sapphire crystals (the rear one has this nice effect when light hits it from the sides), textile+leather strap that looks cheap in photos but is actually very well built/comfy, deployment clasp in titanium and ceramic, a dial that is not too boring nor too busy, looks sophisticated enough to be tolerable at formal events, but relaxed enough to be used with a tshirt. Good presence on the wrist but still feeling lighter than most stainless steel watches, more likely to last many years without scratches/dents.

I don't have it yet, but ordered one after a lot of time looking at multiple Omegas and trying out the DSOTM in a shop. Too bad there are too many versions and it is not a LE. Loses some of the charm...

'50s Genève

Why? Classic, understated, and somewhat esoteric.

Gorgeous. The way the dial raises with a center ring reminds me of the globemaster

Of all time? Any of the 2998 references. Modern and one I've owned before? Probably the FOIS or the new Good Planet Aqua Terra.

My 2 favourites are my DSOTM and PO Ti Li. I enjoy the lighter weight of both, and I am drawn to the colour combinations of each, not to mention the top notch quality and beautiful display case backs.

Apparently, we have similar taste...

This Sea Monster.

It's my first Seamaster.

Its my first METAS certified Master Chronometer and I've waited since Baselworld 2015 for them to trickle through...

... and it's my latest purchase. Just come home.

Original Snoopy for me for what it represents and the story behind it. One day I'd love to add one to my collection.

I don't get it why do people buy ultra deep diving watches and wear them as a dress watch. It's like buying a jeep and use it on a race track.

Fair point.

I'm very lucky and have a selection of dress watches.

This PloProf has been bought to be used daytime on a regular basis. Can't promise it will get that wet but I admire the whole METAS story and this was the first Master that I really liked.

You really wear it upon the sleeve?

My favourite is my Globemaster. It's simple yet fascinating and very photogenic.
There isn't a single thing I want to improve or change about it (now that it's on a mesh bracelet). If I had to reduce my collection down to one piece, this would be it......but that would be no fun at all would it? So like many others here I suppose the correct answer is that my favourite is whichever one I'm currently hunting for, i.e. Baby Ploprof 166.0250 with acrylic bezel and split 12 o'clock index, or maybe a SHOM or maybe .....

My one is seamaster DIVER 300 M CO-AXIAL 41 MM Steel on steel 212.30.41.20.03.001

It's not because i have but its the watch I chosen to keep. After my original one broke 3 times I was offered by omega to get brand new replacement or get another model and with my wife support to get a more expensive model, I have tried many in store but always kept going back to my seamaster. It's perfect for me and I LOVE the bracelet, it beats any other omega or rolex watches.

After this I don't envy someone having more expensive omega watch than me but i appreciate what others wear!

For me, you can't beat the classic Speedmaster Professional with hesalite...the watch went to the MOON - what else needs to be said? 😀
