My first Omega

[Odhran]

Picked this up approx a month ago during a trip to Glasgow. I had been serious about buying a planet ocean for a few weeks previous as I was aware of the impending price rise so I decided to bite the bullet. Managed to negociate a bit of discount from the saleswoman too which was nice.

This is my first expensive watch and I cannot believe the quality of it, from the detail on the back, the movement, the chunkiness and the sturdy feel of it.. Not to mention the weight of the thing!

I use it as a daily wearer and intend to pass it on to my children (hopefully not for a long while yet as I'm only 18!) This, however wasn't the only reason for purchasing this particular watch.. I used money that I had recieved when I turned 18 to buy it and it will always serve as a reminder of where it came from.

So far after over 5 weeks of ownership I still can help but stare at it in admiration.. It's an event outting it on each and every morning, because of my abnormally large hands, I decided to go for the big size model so it had a bit of presence on my wrist.. Something which was a necessity for me.

Anyway here are some photos, excuse the quality, they were taken using my iPhone, if anyone wants me to I may take some photos using the digital camera but I'm sure most of you are familiar with what a black steel planet ocean looks like

Stevokenevo: thanks mate, I too tried on the speedmaster pro and the face was tiny IMO in comparison but it's down to personal taste as you know yourself.. Unfortunately I didn't get taking in a game whilst I was over as it was during the week I was there, had an interview for the university of Glasgow in the westend, ended up going to 'the stand' comedy club.. Had a great evening!

You reckon I made a mistake posting that photo?.. Oh dear lol

Shadowninja: yeah as you can tell I was ecstatic! Long story behind that photo you see lol
