People that work in the industry, should have basic product knowledge, especially when the words Datejust are printed on the dial.

Most of us watch guys are collectors and enjoy working towards the next one. I am always thinking about the next watch I wish to acquire. I think in this context, and I have heard it on a number of public forums, an exit watch is a watch that is on such a high level (similar to a grail) that you decide that you cannot do any better and your journey is over. Often a very expensive watch like a Rolex or a Patek, but there are many more budget-conscious people that would be happy with a Tag Heuer or an Omega. My exit watch is below.

My main timekeeping device, and a precision instrument. I am a tool watch guy and for me, I have a watch on my wrist that suits my specific purpose, like a chronograph to time things or a GMT to keep track of more than one timezone. Also, I hate the fact that if you use a mobile phone to keep track of the time, then you have the inconvenience of having to pull it out of your pocket each time you want to know the time. With a watch, it takes a split second to look at your wrist, as opposed to the time it takes to pull it out of your pocket.

I was talking about Australian dollars. This one will cost you $110 US dollars. You consider a watch that is $50 more not affordable. For what you are getting, the Stuhrling is better bang for buck.

Ok, but you still need an Omega in your collection, no matter what the model is. You have 4 spaces in that watch box, and you need another one to complete the collection. If the sea masters do not work, maybe a globe master or a constellation would work better for you. Looking at that collection I think you need a touch of gold to spice things up. I reckon a two-tone constellation would work well.

That is fantastic. Get it serviced by a good independent watchmaker. It is not a chronograph, so you are not looking at a huge amount to fix it. I know that here in Australia, a vintage 3-hander service should cost 300 to 500 AUD. For you, in England, it should cost a couple of hundred quid if that.

Get yourself a Stuhring, the one on the left. It has a Swiss-made movement, is very robust and accurate and it cost me $250 AUD. A much better investment I think
