Nicolas, thank for for the welcome and especially for the clarification in the water resis

Regarding the 50M WR not being suitable for swimming... that's quite a dissapointment as I was trying to convince myself to get a Reverso Squadro and wanted to use it as my unique day to day watch. But not being able to swim with it not what I wanted to hear about the Reverso.

I don't have a collection and I don't plan to have one, that's why I thought the Reverso Squadra(ref# 701868P) would be a good fit since it's kind of sporty but can be worn with a suit as well.

There is another watch I like very much: OMEGA SEAMASTER 300M AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH (ref#  2225.80.00).

Both watches are within my budget, therefore I was trying to make a decision looking for pros and cons.

Since I like both very much, I wated to just walk into an Authorized Dealer and try them both to see how they fit my hand, and I'll probably feel which one is for me. (or would probably also depend on the skills of the seller and which one he will try to convince me to buy

The Omega is more "my taste" but at the same time I'm thinking that maybe Omega is too common as a brand and also those metalic bracelet watches are quite common as well. (eventhough I like this particular bracelet very much).

And while the Seamaster would be quite common, I think the Reverso is more "special" with it's unique design, not to mention that JLC is superior as a brand.

Suggestions and opinions are welcome.
