I'm not an Omega fan; my bestie at home has a few and I have to be honest and say that I don't really like any of the ones he has. However, since seeing Dave (DCheeta) sporting a Deep Black in this sub-forum a few months ago, I've been looking at it more and more. It's really blown my right skirt up.I've read more times than I care to remember that Omegas are usually better bought pre-loved because the prices don't fare too well in the used market.I can pick one up from an AD here, brand new, at 20% discount.
