I’m interested in a 36mm Seamaster, but not keen on the £££ of servicing with Omega shit.

There’s two model that pique my interest, the Quartz (ref 2561.80.00) or the automatic (2551.80.00).

Which would be the better option? Quartz mean cheap to sort out, but then automatic is much nicer despite higher £££ to service (even thought the movement is similar to ETA)

Buy the auto. You will always regret it if you don't.
Difference in servicing is gonna be about £100 ish , but then factor in the cost of battery and reseal @ £80 ish every two years or so ........
Having said that I may have a quartz one coming in soon so if you choose that one give me a shout.

I appreciate that, so the difference is almost negligible, I didn’t want to get an expensive watch only for the service cost to be almost equally expensive (hence why I sold the BB58).

Just need to find a decent automatic that I can get on finance, thank!
