No way to get a proper Omega diver nowadays for that money. The Seamaster is the only diver I have though, which is why I think I’m heading that way with CW

Haha! Memory is a dangerous road to go down! I bought my GMT Master second hand in 1991 for less than $1k. I distinctly remember Speedmasters being sold in the Exchange catalog (I was in the military at the time) for $795. A Tudor sub was something like $550.

If you like a more classic look I would take a look at the Dartmouth II. I am partial to the Dartmouth I but the II is a great watch with a COSC movement.

The 300 is also a great watch. It has too many compromises for my personal liking but it is very popular and has many fans.

For something off the beaten path I would look at the Lympstone. The downside is the inner compass bezel (divisive) but there is a lot to like. COSC movement, gunmetal case/bracelet and a nice blaze orange arrow seconds hand. Really great watch.

Sell your collection and buy a Rolex

I have owned and then sold 4 different Rolex’s over the years. At one point I had 2 (Submariner and GMT Master II) in the collection at the same time. I’ve always been slightly disappointed with them for the price to be honest, and have no desire to pay the current inflated prices
