·Just just a light hearted thread, what was your first ever omega, how did you come to buy it, and do you still have it?
Here's my entry:
My first omega was a Speedmaster Reduced reference 3510.50.00 with haselite. I bought it used with all the fixings from the original owner back around 2003. I knew next to nothing about the modern omega lineup back then, and had been shopping for something vintage, but this one came up at a great price and I snapped it up. I think I paid around $800 canadian dollars back then, and it was only a couple years old.
I liked the watch and wore it in a rotation, which back then, was mostly vintage accutron 214 watches. I used to have a thing for coffin link accutron astronauts. Today, I don't even own an accutron anymore, but I have quite a few omega watches. Interestingly, when I see a reduced now, I only see "not a moonwatch", but back then I thought it was great, a moonwatch I didn't need to think about winding.
After about 5 years, the reduced became part of a trade for a 2008 2254.50 seamaster that I also no longer have, it was later replaced in the lineup by a coaxial gmt seamaster.
So what's your story?
