Morning all.
The Speedmaster above looks fantastic. I have been looking at them for a few months (more lusting than looking). This week i was able to get to try one on in a jewellers - more in preparation to buy than anything else. The good news - the watch fitted my wrist perfectly and was a nice weight.
The bad news - i didn't like it! Not exactly sure why, it just didn't 'do it' for me. I was able to try on range of Omegas - the only one which i liked (not loved) was a Speedmaster with orange highlights. I think it was £6500+ which is far too much to just 'like' and not love (and even then is is rather expensive). I looked at a Railmaster - nice but not for me, Seamaster - there are probably possibilities but they didn't have one i likes and De Ville - similar to Seamaster - odd colouring.
The lady in the jewellers was really good about my disappointment and showed me some Tudors and a couple of Longines but i really was not in the form to look at anything else following my disappointment.
I will now have to rethink what i'm going to do. My Apple Watch does the job but as far as looks go - NOT!
I have been as disappointed with anything for a long time - seems odd and the Speedy above looks fantastic in the pic!
Back to the drawing board ........
