I used to buy fashion watches but they always died within 1-2 years.
I did only pay £1200 for the Omega at the time, but what I would say is I've had to service it 3 times since and thats cost me at least £1200. The recent last service (inc battery) was £500 and took about 3-4 months to come back. I did really need to pay another £700 to replace the strap as one of the pins keeps coming loose, but I bulked at a £1200 service on something I'd only paid £1200 for, but I guess these are now 4-5k new for the current model.
Just factor in service costs, there was a point when the watch would cost me more to service than my car :D.
I bought a DOXA Sub 300T Conquistador 50th anniversary reissue for way too much money in 2019 when they first came to the UK. I grew up reading the description of their orange dial dive watch in Clive Cussler's books and spent a lot of my childhood seeing Jacques Cousteau in various oceanography documentaries. He helped design the the DOXA Sub 300T and it was the first ever dive watch with a helium escape valve. So, I bought one. Did I need a dive watch? No. Did I need to spend that much money? No. But, the watch reminds me of many things from childhood and my teen years. It was worth every penny and means much to me.
Why buy an expensive car over a cheap one? Designer branded clothes? You could ask your question about anything that's an expensive consumer item and the answers will probably be similar. If you can afford one and like the watch, buy it. Wear it and enjoy it. (edited)
Aside from the nice wave effect on the dial, and the fact it's very accurate (although so was my Longline Hydroconquest auto at a max +/-1spd and that cost less than 1/4 of the price), there's no justification for the price given what else is available.
Really needs a refresh with a much longer power reserve in my opinion. Pretty sure my SMP 300 has 55 hours or thereabouts, on a 25,200vph movement. Cheaper Tudor models have 70hr on 28,800vph, and Oris have nice in house movements with up to 10 day now. (edited)
Not keen on the wave pattern on the dial though
Heat for the price though as that's what this site is all about.
I usually wear Swiss made watches, but since getting my Watch6 last week I have found it really fun to use. I have also cheekily updated the watch face to something a bit more special and added a fake bezel. (edited)
£25 quid casio watch better value
Just might temp me into two of them. One for daily use and one for the weekend (edited)
Omega keeps putting their prices up constantly with no actual reason.
Always shocks me tho as to how much these have gone up in price.
Ugly helium escape valve
Non-tapering bracelet
Mediocre power reserve
Omega need to update this model and need to stop wasting time adding small rockets to seconds hands and then charging double.
Potentially looking for investment reasons (and to expand my watch collection lol). Green one looks a beaut and is tempting!
FYI, the next watch is my shopping list is a 2nd hand modern Tag Monaco
