So I now have 5 Omegas, a 1987 Constellation Day/Date that is identical to the one I bought new in 1987, a Speedmaster 3523.80 blue dial triple calendar, a Seamaster Diver 300 current vintage, and both current Moonwatches, White dial and hesalite. Along With a Moonswatch , a Tudor Black Bay chrono and several others. So what do I go for next? Something vintage, or Omega's next flavor of the month?

I am longing for a Vintage Seamaster 300. Missed the boat on that one.

The more I work with them, the more I like the 55x/56x movements.

Still if money was no object It would have to be a classic Snoopy.

Omega's current flavors seem to be diet variations with too much saccharine and not enough sugar. They also seem to be Gluten free, and not contain any nuts which can cause an allergic reaction. They do however seem to come in tasty looking colors with lots of fat free frosting on them.

#ST1 -- The reverse panda dial is a real looker.

Great analogy. All summer there's been all the new olympic models that are just refreshes. So is the White dial Moonwatch but I had to have it anyway.

I'm thinking about Speedmaster racing, or a 57 with blue dial and red hands

Well, don't go vintage PloProf, cause then you'll need the SM1000 (166.093), after that you might as well pick up the SM120 (166.088), SM200 (166.091), a Big Blue, the Shoms... and at that point the nasty "Banana" starts to look pretty good, so you get yourself one, and it's grey counterpart.

Once you've got a handful of "flight" cases, you're too deep in, so get the Flightmaster Only book and decide what order you'll complete that set in....

I think I need help.

You’re never going to go wrong with a vintage 1950’s or early 1960’s Constellation

So what do I go for next?

Go see one of those palm reader/psychic types and ask them what you should go for next.

I’m getting disappointed with the brand at this point.
So I now have 5 Omegas […] what do I go for next? Something vintage, or Omega's next flavor of the month?
Well, glad to see you perspective has changed rather quickly 😉

Jury is still out on the 3861s. If they keep stopping way short of the 50 hours promised I may cash them in.

This thread needs pictures. We can't give our opinions without seeing the collection. 😀

Based on the description, you need more dress watches.

Along with the new white speedmaster in my pic. The Invictas don't really count. That 911 is a Porsche by Eterna for the 1999 911.

Globemaster maybe?

I both love and hate that. Feels like it needs a day to make it a triple calendar
