Omega
Holy shite, my wife has given me an omega sea master for my 30th
Can't upload pics damn it even tried with the photo bucket thing. Prob is I really don't know if I'm going to wear this through fear of marking it, this is out of the blue |

Nice watch! Wear it, they are tough and you won't damage it easily.
Happy Birthday

Absolutely, get it worn, I've been wearing my Seamaster everyday for the last (gulp) 15 years and it looks fine. Just give it a good clean every now & then to keep that sparkle - get one of these and it'll look brand new all the time...

yep get it worn... stainless steel and sapphire crystal glass. You wont be marking it in a hurry. Of course the bracelet will get the odd scratch on it over time, but that only adds to the character of the watch.

You must wear it or you will be the one that ends up marked! A little bit of visible use will give it character anyway, unless you are allready thinking of the sale value

Post up a picture using the 'manage attachments' option that you see when you reply to a post. As others have said, get it on your wrist and start wearing it. I've had my Seamaster 300 for nearly 5 years and the glass is the same as the day I bought it.

Problem is I've gone & got the itch big-time again, she's swanning around in a diamond encrusted Breitling, whilst I'm just sporting my old Omega . Desperately want something else (large Planet Ocean would do - like Ed just bought ) but funds don't allow right now (apparently I need to redo the family bathroom )

Have you been spending time with Will again?
Loving my PO - however I feel it has ignited a passion for watches that has been slowly burning away in the background for some time. I'm feeling like it's going to get expensive!

No point owning a nice watch if you don't wear it IMO. My wife bought me a Seamaster when we got engaged (at least I got something decent in return for a ring...) and I wear it daily, would be a shame not to.

After reading all these 'Watch' threads I'm getting the itch too and I know there are quite a few members with a lot of knowledge in watches so please advice/suggest.
I have a budget of around £1500-£2500 for a watch but I want something which doesn't lose much over time in case if I need to sell it or part exchange (if its possible) for a new one or even if I keep it for good. Please suggest the right places to source them and is there any margin of negotiation. Apologies for hijacking the thread |

I've worn my seamaster everyday since 1999.
Work, play, DIY, winter sports, mbk, the lot. It's been dropped and bashed countless times and the screen is unmarked! The bracelet is covered in fine scratches, but they polish up easy every so often. We use those brasso silverware cloths you get from supermarkets. |

Or even the slightly older Planet Ocean with the 2500 movement: http://www.iconicwatches.co.uk/omega...mm-2201-5.html Lots of other choices, but those would be mine
