Omega in the world of watches
First of all, a few disclaimers:-I have limited knowledge of the Omega brand-I've never owned an Omega timepiece-I am familiar with all of the other brands to some extent (Rolex, PP, AP, JLC, etc.)Now, please take this with a grain of salt if you must, but after drooling over the Seamaster 300 (the vintage inspired one with a Master Co-Axial movement), I was literally shocked at the price tags that these beautiful watches are commanding. $7500 CAD for a starter model in stainless steel, up to $75,400 for the platinum version.Is it fair that they're charging more than what a new SS Sub is worth for this model? Is it fair that you can get a Rolex PM Sub for half the cost of that PT Omega Seamaster 300? And I mean fair simply in the sense that: Can they justify charging these prices? If so, how?I am curious to hear your responses. And I'm paying attention, because I can't shake the thought of owning one of those SS Seasmaster 300's, despite the price tag!!!

Need trf help - unique situation
Team,I am first to admit I am no guru in Omega's, I did have a Professional Chrono Seamaster for a while but it was too big on my wrist, I obtained it as part of a trade.In any case my help is on a sadly different matter. One of the staff of my Sales agent sadly took his own life, none of us including his family saw it coming. He is doing all he can to help the wife and the three boys all under the age of 10. One of the things he has asked me to help with is to find a watch he can give the wife to give to each of the boys on their 18th birthday to remember their father with. He has indicated a budget of around $5K per watch, and he has asked me to pick a watch that wont go out of fashion over the next 10-15 years before the boys receive their gifts (not sure if they will need an oil inspection over that time by the way). My suggestion to him no surprise is to go with a classic Omega which I was thinking would be a Speedmaster or seamaster diver. I have pulled these two model numbers of

Famous Australian Adventurer -- And His Speedmaster
I'm going crazy...well, MORE crazy. I remember reading an article about a famous Australian adventurer/backpacker that wore an Omega Speedmaster while in the bush. The article included a bunch of pictures of the well-worn watch...including a missing pusher. I'm pretty sure it was on Hodinkee...but I can't find it.If I remember correctly, he liked to use the watch to keep tracking of the amount of time he had been walking. Anyone?

My first venture into PP.
Hi guys, recently I had a chance to reflect on my collection and realized I don't have a bonafide dress watch. As fate would have it, I came across the Gondolo ref. 5111g-001 this past weekend and I'm now contemplating pulling the trigger. IMHO, it's a very handsome piece. What are your thoughts and thanks for your inputs and advice. Here's a stock pic.

First time buyer requires ��� advice
I'm looking for some advice! I have the opportunity to get a Black Ceramic GMT on Interest Free Finance over 2 years, with only a 10% Deposit. Now another ''up'', is also the fact the Authorised Dealer is not keeping the warranty/papers etc.My overall Goal is to own the much sought after GMT Batman, however it would mean placing a deposit with a different store, and i would need to take out a Personal loan resulting in paying back huge amounts of interest. At what point is it better to buy the black ceramic now, and be content with that instead of getting the Batman and probably end up paying back ��1,500 in Interest over 5 years.
