Hello fellow members
This is actually my first post and I’m really excited to join this forums. I have been a long time lurker though . so I have the opportunity to purchase a new watch and let me till you that this is a strange one.
I bought a Rolex hulk and sold it after about a month or so. and now another one in almost new condition is offered to me for 15k full set, on the other hand I was also offered this amazing omega that I have never seen before, It’s an aqua terra 44mm chronograph full white gold case and bracelet. the omega has an msrp of $48900 and I couldn’t find a single one for sale on Chrono24, no box or papers for the omega and it’s missing 1 full link + 1 half link. It’s offered to me for about 16k to 17k.
I checked the omega in the service center in my area and everything checks out, actually the watch maker that checked it after he finished he came to me and said he never seen one of those before.
which one would you rather have?
All inputs are appreciate
Thank you

 

Two very different types of watches, not a fan of either TBH. Gun to head, the Hulk simply because the AT dial is way too busy with all that writing in the 9 register

 

I have to agree with @Wetworks the AT is too overwhelming to look at and not in a good way like it would have been staring into Scarlett Johansson's eyes...

Also personally I would not have bought either one.

 

I do like that omega, but I'd probably err towards the hulk. It's a known and sought after commodity.

 

That Seamaster has some great features to it IMHO and the price reduction for it is significant.

For me though, a White Gold watch would only be for my own "secret" appreciation.
A lot of people who see it on your wrist will assume it is a stainless steel watch.
Nothing wrong with that, just the way it is.

That’s exactly why I want it. it looks just like any other watch, but when you hold it the difference is immediately felt. btw it weighs about 270 grams.
I actually checked the steel version in the boutique yesterday and let me tell you the steel felt like titanium in comparison lol.

 

The Hulk for me. The Omega is way too busy imo.

 

Id vote none there are far better watches you can get for 15k and if you're looking for something exclusive add another 10k and you can get a good deal on a top end watch.

So yeah none, if I'm not mistaken that Aqua Terra is probably thicker than 15mm and omega already has better gmt contenders.

Hulk 's value is inflated for What that watch really is.

 

If I 'had to choose' it would be the hulk. Not a fan of that Omega

 

I’d go with the hulk. It’s popular, you’ve had one before and TBH I think it looks a lot nicer. Each to his own but that AT looks pretty ‘niche’ to me. Very marmite, and the close ups it appears to have a fair amount of usage.

 

Hulk. And I still say that with having no desire to ever own a Sub.

 

Hulk without a doubt, I just have always liked it... Bought my son one when he was born and its sitting in the safe in his name warranty dated day he was born.
I do not care for that Omega much at all. I do not like the pushers and just doesn't like the overall look.
What I think shouldn't matter though, you have to wear it so decide which YOU like most.

 

Rolex, hands down!

 

Hulk if pressed but neither is my choice

 

Decide which you prefer and get that one.

 

This particular AT seems to be overloaded. Any AT that is not bare bone naked where you can appreciate the teak dial is a pass for me. So in other words: I hate the AT with complications. It destroys this clean look.

I'd long for the Hulk.

 

Between these two --- the Hulk. However, I would bypass both of these and go for either an Omega Railmaster 39mm or an Explorer MKII - my preference only, YMMV

 

No papers with the Omega,give it a miss.
The Hulk I de-test with that maxi case IMHO.

 

Yeah, this seems obvious. The Hulk.

Not even close.
