Which one to choose?

That GS SBGA429 is a beautiful piece!! 

With a 7+ inch wrist, you might consider the 41mm AT. The Nomos 38mm should be just right. 

I mean....

But I'm biased.

Just one random clown-on-the-internet's opinion:

1. If you like lots of churn in your collection, then get whatever strikes your fancy at the moment
2. If you're buying the watch in order to keep for all eternity and then hand on to your children, grandchildren, and then on to your great-grand-cyborg, go with either the Aqua Terra or the GS

Here's my reasoning below:

• The Hermes and the Nomos have the traditional mechanical movement, with its fundamental flaw of friction in the lever escapement architecture - that friction is the cause of the primary failure mode in mechanical watches...  oil degradation
• The Omega AT has a co-axial movement, which was specifically designed by George Daniels to address that issue; as a result, modern Omegas were created to run an owner's lifetime without need for service.  Obviously, Omega can't market it as such, but the co-axial architecture was literally rolled out at enormous cost to Omega to achieve this holy grail goal in mechanical watches
• The SBGA429 is spring drive, so it doesn't even have an escapement!  Instead, it's got the Tri-synchro regulator where the IC monitors the speed of the glide wheel against the vibrations of the 32,786 Hz frequency of the quartz oscillator, and then brakes accordingly to ensure timing accuracy.  No escapement means no primary failure mode associated with escapement friction!

Good luck with your decision, OP!

Thank you random person. It's the best advice I got until now!

Hi! Agree, already tried 41 a couple of times! Just a bit big for my taste

@HotWatchChick69 nailed it

Never liked how Omega watches look, gotta go with the GS.

I chose the Hermes. I like it. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry - can't really help on this one. Not my design ethos. 

Quite the range in prices there from $2k to $7k.

My alternate suggestion would be...

Anonimo Epurato Bronze (Galvanic Anthracite Sunray dial) ref. AM-4000.04.441.W88

42mm List: $3,250 Street: $2,750

or if you are not a fan of bronze...

Anonimo Epurato Steel (Galvanic Anthracite Mat Opalin dial) ref. AM-4000.01.101.W11

42mm List: $2,500 Street: $1,500

Or if you are not a fan of the cushion case style...

Oris John Coltrane Limited Edition ref. 01-733-7681-4084-Set LS

38mm List: $2,200 Street: $1,900

Best I can do in that price range and design style.

This is rather strongly overstating a minor issue.  I started writing a detailed response but I’m not here to go down any rabbit holes.

Any of these choices are fine.  Pick the one you think looks best.  They will all last multiple lifetimes with minimal care. 

He gives the same advice no matter what the question.

"Should I put my Timex Q reissue on a burgundy NATO strap?"

@HotWatchChick69 : "Have you considered Grand Seiko..."

I can imagine the GS pairs best with a cashmere sweater. 

What makes a watch a good "winter watch"?

My thoughts? Muted colors, leather strap, 100m WR, not a dive or dress watch. 

The way a watch supplements your style in winter. I like any of my accessories to fit my style. No?

It's always summer where I'm from 🤣 so the concept of winter watches is new to me. But I would imagine something that fits under a sweater. Maybe a resin or rubber strap, because leather might crack, bracelets will get cold and fabric straps might have an "icing problem" when they get wet.

The Omega AquaTerra is the most versatile here.  I’m also a big fan of Grand Seiko but you really cannot go wrong choosing the #Omega AT here 100%
