Still mulling over which genuine brand to make my 1st mid level purchase. I’ve got some loose change to spend, about 4K for my first semi expensive watch. The most I’ve ever spent on a watch is about 2k for a TC franken build which I sold. Been mulling this purchase over for a while now, I kinda want a brand with history, name recognition and also bang for my bucks. I like diver watches because I very rarely wear a suit and tie also not a khakis wearer. Usually jeans and button down shirt or polo type. So which one

Omega diver 300 co axial

Right now they are both about 3.7k grey market.

Thanks for input.

Pelagos will retail it's value a little netter, but the Omega ist just a stunner. Hard choice...

Pelagos. Its just an amazing watch. Everytime I put it on I'm amazed how nice it looks and the bracelet is just best.

I vote for the Pleagos.

You really can’t beat Tudor as a brand. Quality, craftsmanship, reliability. Tudor is a brand I identify with more over omega and I’m fond of them.

I think the Pleagos has just enough of everything. Uniqueness, that classic silhouette, but it’s just different enough to not really be a Submariner wannabe (despite its ties to the Submariner). Especially with the left handed orientation.

O you should be spokesperson for the LHD. Lol
It is a gorgeous watch, and black dial has so much flexibility of use compared to silver dial Omega, though I think the Silver dial is really a looker.

Haha yeah, i like it so much that's why.

Both watches are gorgeous but Tudor win in my eyes.

Pelagos hands down. I have a genuine one and it's my overall preferred watch for daily use (mine is a two liner original) Going forward I expect it'll be the more desirable too, especially the LHD.

Also agree with Pelagos over Omega, IMHO a more timeless and appealing design...the only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger on one is the fact its a titanium case and am afraid of scratches.

Mine is worn heavily and frequently. It's surprisingly scratch resistant.

I guess I'm going to be the only dissenting vote...Omega. Tudor and Omega are my 2 favorite brands, love them both, but I just have to go with the Omega.

I would go for the pelagos, evenmore the LHD with the red liner, a future collectible .
A black diver is the perfect one-watch IMO if you don't require a suit for your postion.

Wow I’m kinda shocked how overwhelmingly the LHD is being picked. I still haven’t tried one on but after all the comments I will be trying one soon. Thanks for input.

Ok so I went with the Tudor Pelagos over the Omega SMP 300m diver. Just got it a couple days ago. I'm happy with it but now I can start on Omega purchase. lol
Can't have just one I need them both. Also did a little comparison with my rep Pelagos, it really is 90% of gen for 10% price. We are spoiled here at RWI.
