Love the omega, I have one of these the Americas cup special edition.
Plenty of watch with great wrist presence.

Been a while since I had any incomings and then 2 in quick succession.
Having cut down to 2 watches and really only looking for a third to complete a small collection, temptation took over and 2 became 4.
After a weekend in York and Harrogate and me dragging the good lady around numerous watch shops, a clear favourite was determined. By luck an as new model was on SC and a deal was done. So the Omega was first to arrive,
Beautiful dial, just a superb watch, quite a substantial piece but a great looker. Thanks to Neil(brucelee) for a smooth deal.
Next to arrive a grail for me, been looking for a nice example for a while and just after the Omega landed, this appeared on SC,
The 190 is a stunning piece, many thanks to Kash for the deal, still can't stop looking at it!
The new pair join my daily wearer,
The 29 has been my daily wearer for 3 years, a great all rounder, admittedly not everyone's favourite but it's certainly mine!
Last but not least IMO, one of the finest in their current line up,
The subc no date seems to divide opinion but suits me nicely!
A quick collection pic,
So the question is where next and can I shrink the collection back down to 3, for now though, time to enjoy.

Mel,
Reduce to three?, nah mate you need another one to make it five ;)
More modern than i'm used to but all really nice pieces :)

Gorgeous 190! Love that PR on the back
Nice spread with all bases covered.
the 190 is beautiful. The only Panerai now that I still really lust after! congratulations.
Very nice collection. Especially the SubC no date. I'm not a fan of the Cyclops (don't need a date at all tbh given I work at a PC ever day)
Think mate, that my collection is probably missing a vintage piece. It's not through the lack of trying though, I've had many vintage pieces that really have come and gone quite quickly. Sometimes possibly not giving them chance to bed in, that is certainly true of the Heuer 3H I had for a short while, given the chance again it would definitely still be in the collection!
A nice Heuer Monaco or Autavia GMT may just fill that gap though!

With that lovely collection I see the 190 is in excellent company. All the bases covered and great examples of the brands. Nice one
In my ever-changing collection, the 190 has been my only constant and I have had it almost 10 years now. A superb watch, I hope you love it as much as I love mine!!
