Will be getting my son a Hamilton dive watch for his grad this year (crap...should probably get that ordered right away here).
And then, yes, bought an Omega Seamaster. I love it so much. I think I bought it in June 2023. I wear it every day. Sometimes I want to wear my Hamilton...but then I wear my Omega and tell myself I'll wear the Hamilton next week, but I never do.
I guess I'm not a collection guy. My Omega is all I need, but I'll never get rid of my Hamilton because I do love it and I love that my family all has Hamilton field watches.
A bit after I bonded with the Omega I deleted all my subscriptions to all the YouTube watch channels, unsubscribed from the subreddits and stopped looking at watches entirely. I'm a million percent happy with what I have and have zero desire for more or to expand into a full blown collection.
I did see a beautiful watch on an old guy in a restaurant in Canmore a couple months ago. I couldn't tell what it was, but on the way out I just told him I liked his watch and had been sneaking looks at it throughout dinner. He told me what it was and thanked me. I had never heard of the brand, but looked it up when I got home. $150k. Wow. Wish I could tell you guys what it was but my wife and I were pretty surprised at the price. Crazy thing is it looked worth it hah. Wasn't obnoxious or anything...just perfection.

Oh, we can figure this out!
Describe it.
Was is gold, or looked stainless steel? Maybe white gold or platinum in that case.
Metal bracelet, leather strap or rubber strap?
What colour was the dial or bezel?
