Jeff,

My Mum has an Omega which is still going strong at 55 years old. A chap at work retired the other day at 63, his omega was also still going strong which his parents bought him as an 18th Birthday present.

So 2 years ago I bought an Omega Seamaster with chronometer self wind on the back of these two real life examples of longevity. Good purchase or are they not the same these days? It was 1050 quid. It's been fine so far, if it loses about 5 mins a month. I like the fact that it's not an obvious bling watch like a Rolex or a Tag. People who know what they're looking at comment on it, I get about 3 or 4 comments a year I guess, and everyone else ignores it. Just how I like it. I guess the right people notice it and that's cool for me.



Lynds.
