    Do you think Omega is overdue in updating its 9-year-old 8800 & 8900 movements to have a power reserve of at least 75 to 85 hours?

    • @BlueCollarLuxe
      @BlueCollarLuxe  3 місяці тому

      That is a good point but I think Omega like Rolex takes the if it ain’t broke don’t fix it approach and I get it as both movements are great. I think I’d rather see them stick the money towards a new watch design instead of releasing version 9 million of the speedmaster. To be honest the power reserve I don’t put much thought into as the companies that are pulling the 80 plus hour reserves are killing the movements beat rate to do it. Any slower and the second hand is going to look like a quartz.

The Breitling store and Tudor store are side by side in the mall here in Florida.

      The BB 58 is a great watch watch and can be picked up preowned for a crazy deal. I would say that if you are not used to wearing a watch it is a bit heavy and will take some getting used to. I have the BB 41 and it wears a bit heavy and bulky but there is a payoff when I look down at it!

    I can get a Rolex Oyster perpetual blue dial day date used for around 6,995. I’m not a huge Rolex fan, but, my first ever watch, the Seiko 5 snxs77 is based directly off that Rolex. I think it would be a nice way to round off the collection by honoring my first ever purchase by getting that Rolex at some point. I also play to get the seiko rerelease of the snxs77, which is the srpk87, so I have all 3 of those that are similar.

      That is very true! I bought both my Breitling and my Tudor new but to be honest it was only because they had just released and we not available preowned. The Breitling was available on the grey market and I could have saved about $1,400 but I wanted the warranty!

      Be tight on 6K even if both are preowned. Preowned the new Seamaster 300 is around 4K and the Aqua Terra is about the same. You could pick up an early 2000s Seamaster and a newer Aqua Terra!
