Why not bro... Anything I wear is for myself bro.... Not wear for other people's sake.... Sometimes I like the feel of a G shock on my wrist also... So I will wear it no matter where I go

I also wear watch in the shower, when sleeping, etc... It's for own pleasure...

You never see T2 wear gold Daytona to do gardening and washing car? Hehe

Day three

According to T2, a worthless watch. But why do I love it so much? Is it the aged tritium markers? Or the subtle blue dial? Hehe

Hehe..I don't disagree...yeah it is one big ugly muthafker.. but it has the functional tool watch feel: heavy and solid, well made, macho, etc.. like the Pam Submersible and Sinn U1 also.. solid, heavy, well made, top notch steel mechanical dive watches at a fraction of the price of a Rolex submariner, without the bling and the attention a Rolex attracts. 

They also have run of the mill ETA engines - tested, proven, tough as nails, serviceable anywhere, again at a fraction of the price of a Rolex.

Lastly, these watches are cheap enough to smash around.... You can buy several of these for the price of one Rolex.

Yes true, but you will still be better off with a simple Rolex Sub14060 for $8-9k

Makes a superb beater which carries more ooomph than this particular Omega.

i am not against omegas in general, in fact my first sports “luxury” watch is a Speedy Reduced purchased in 1997/8 which i still have today although it gets zero wrist time now.  Classic MoonWatches are cool.

you can also look at Rolex made Tudors of the early 90s which exude a really manly charm compared to its competitors in the same price category

I used to have one, the 14060... didn't feel no oomph... So sold it for $5,500 many years ago.. LOL. No regrets, even though that particular model, unpolished/lightly polished with tritium markers is now in excess of $12k with full b&p.

I also had a 16610 for a long time.... No ooomph felt either... sold for $9k full b&p a couple of years ago. Don't miss it at all, now that I have my Hulk.

I would say it's like a Mercedes C class with the turbo 4 cylinder. It's ok, not bad, quite nice, but everyone else has it.

Can I also say.. instead of a bunch of steel GMTs, SDs and subs... You will be better off with a simple Nautilus 5711.
