Omega - hands down. The catalogue is absolutely massive and then you get into the vintage possibilities that are just lovely! Overall build quality to price ratio is still good relative to the other Swiss brands around.

Something for almost everyone 😎

Smashing some stir fry with divers 😂😂😂😂knives, fire, more fire and service!

Miltat/strapcode bracelets are fantastic! Nothing but good things there!

You don’t see too many brown/Ti combos out there? I think maybe Formex did a similar earth-tone to Ti-Grade2.

The Ti used for Blancpain is insane. Full bracelet 5050 has all that tactile satisfaction you mentioned. Even off the bracelet the gear is solid.

How end links connect, screw threads, and the tolerances all lean into the full tactile picture.

That said, I get just as much of that feel when interacting with the ADPT Ti watches. You couldn’t make the watches further apart if you tried but the joy factor is there in both for different reasons.

One is a 32oz porterhouse slathered in butter with gold leaf sprinkles all over. The other is Philly cheese stake from the “right” food truck at the Springsteen show!

Dude, same for me! Been collecting seriously over 15 years. That said, I have tried on the seaweed, own a pro and (at one point) had a 16570 and honestly, all three are incredible. I personally think the style and overall 16570 is great, but something about it didn’t click, whereas the BB Pro feels like a warmer design overall.

That said, thickness and wearing experience will be owned by the 16570. For me (personally) the BB Pro feels like a it has more soul. Just my own personal story to share 🤪

Oh wow! Straps!! I forgot about that lol! I believe that may be a future post about that alone lol!

I have had an entire saga with just one watch model 🤣Submariner bought, sold (regretted), bought, sold and bought AGAIN! Lol
