That's one of the most iconic watches IMO. If I had unlimited watch funds, I'd definitely have it in my collection.

The light weight and color of titanium is great, but I hate its susceptibility to scratches. I also like the heavier weight and feel of stainless steel and how it holds heat better.

Both are fine, but if it's a metal bracelet watch I definitely prefer steel.

Everyone complains about the Omega AT shades not having a color matched date wheel.

Honestly, I think it looks great with the white background and doesn't bother me in the least. It DOES bother me that they didn't position it lower by a couple of mm to put it in line with the hour markers though.

I also don't care about the rotational positioning other than what DrewP94 said....I wouldn't want it at 12:00. I agree that not having a date is the worst.

Those watches aren't much more than the cost of the service we need to get this year on my wife's Alfa! The Omega will be more reliable! I say get the blue AT shades (I'm partial because I just got one). It has nicer markers and I think will stand the test of time better.

They're really killing it when it comes to watch design. Both traditional and modern with fun colors and good hands.

I just use mine to tell time and look cool. If it has a screwdown crown and can go in the water I'll swim with it. No need to overthink things.

Great watch and story!

I was never a fan of Rolex until that era of OP onward. Nothing against the quality or construction, but the style didn't speak to me other than the OP and Milgauss.

That's a good design that can be dressed up or down, and the pink keeps it from being too serious or stuffy.
