Hello Raymond! I share with you same feelings and doubts regarding purchasing new pieces!...
... I´m a greedy collector, buy I know that we can´t buyt everything we like, and also that the more watches you own the less you enjoy them at full. It is a paradox but it happens when you own a very large collection.
I guess a mature collector tends to reduce quantity and to specialize. Having less allows to know better each piece and to live with them on the wrist more time. Also allows to reach higher end watches.
By the other hand Makers conspire with this tendency of reducing when they launch more and more temptations!!
yes, I have my sights on the new 2998 Pulsations! It is simlar to the previous edition which I already own... but different at same time! 
have a nice day my friend!

It all started in 2015....
with this Omega Spectre SM300 and since then, I’ve build a good relationship with my local boutique to start a small collection of Omega modern watches. I’m not into rusties so pls, no offense to our knowledgeable vintage collectors, you guys are brave as...
Amazes me how fast you build a nice collection ...
Three years and your collection only contains important Omega watches. Congratulations, My favorite on your collection is the blue Moon Phase Speedmaster. Nilo Note: My wife also have the same Ladymatic.
I can only cherry pick ....
since I have limited funds and have to get approval from my “boss” 😂 The Ladymatic and the Moonphase are just regular series, not really important watches but I have to agree they are winners too. Thank you Nilo, your Omega collection is my inspiration. R...
Don’t know much about Omega
But that’s heck of a collection in 3 years “just for Omega”. 😄
They are worth a 2nd look, mj23...
Quality and service is top notch, plus 2 or 4 years warranty depending on movement. I’m only focusing on 4 brands now, ALS, Omega, PP and Rolex.
AWesome collection! Make me jeaolous...
Omega also my favourite brand now. They are consistently improving the technology at faster pace than any other brand. Their design is also timeless. And the price is still reasonable. I have two omegas in my small collection, those have been carefully se...
Is that the Apollo 11 45th Titanium Sedna Gold limited edition?
That’s a nice one you got 👍🏻 I was too late into realizing this version. I agree they made lots of improvements and still reasonable in some pieces. Rgds Raymond
Yes it is. The moment i saw it, i knew i had to get it..
The famous caliber 1861 encased in titanium grade 2, with sedna gold bezel and hands, ceramic bezel insert, laser-cut dial. I purchased the titanium bracelet which not included in the purchase, it was specially made for Speedy X-33 spacewalker gen 3. Eith...
The watch in its original brown nato is a great combo and looks great too.
I’m more of a strap guy than bracelet when comes to Omegas, but the Trilogy looks better in bracelet in my opinion. Rgds Raymond
Indeed the included NATO strap is of very high quality. So well made...
But there are times when i want to feel no worry to get the watch wet, when it's raining, or just watch my hand and clean the watch under a tap. Here is the watch with bracelet. ...
It’s truly a spectacular collection you have built up, Raymond :)
And it’s a credit to your AD that you were able to get all the limited pieces. While the CK2998 and the Snoopy are my favourites, there’s not a single watch that I wouldn’t want in my collection And my boss wants a Ladymatic at some point, too
The boutique sales whom I work with is truly amazing in helping me get these special pieces...
That is why I have no more rooms for GS 😜 Glad you like what I got, great minds alike😬 The Ladymatic is very attractive, your boss will love it too. Thanks, my friend. Rgds Raymond
It’s often decisive in hindsight...
Great quality boutique or AD service is likely to have quite some effect on where our preferences develop towards. Not exclusive but not to be underestimated, either As for GS - never say never, might yet happen
Very nice trio, Dmitriy 👍🏻
The Speedmaster Racing Master Chrono, the Apollo 11 45th and what this 3rd one? You did good with the orange/black nato on that watch 👏🏻
Fantastic mission …
Raymond that collection is something else. Keep up the good work !
It’s a mission to find some of them indeed....
and in limited number # I wish for. Thanks, Cpt Scarlet.
Still a long way to go...
The Omega portfolio is so vast that I can only dream. Thank you, Vte.
Yes, as we all know, with recent new mega members here, our collections can only be called small and tiny now 🤣 [nt]
Your new Avatar is very radiant, nice 👍🏻
AlexSunrise said to me that if our Dr No likes this new RM, it must be good 😬
I totally agree👍🏻 and I need to put back the bracelet soon, looks better imo. Thanks, Art. Rgds Raymond
Just abit
Just a bit offensive to people whose collecting "rusty". Nouveau rich. I like your collection.
Nouveau riche? Seriously?
Not sure if I like this description, Frank. These don’t even add up to a high end chrono from the famous houses, dude...Yes, I rather spend my $ than bring it to my grave, and I do donate to charity too. And they come as a result from my hard earn efforts...
Oh I see... well “ rusty” is a common term used here but I can change to Vintage....
which I did mention, “vintage collectors” if that makes it sound better. Thanks for pointing out.
Big Congrats Raymond! You built an amazing collection of great Omegas in such a short time!...
... It is true that Omega has been making his homework so well lately, launching several hot temptations for its fans!: the 2998 of 2016, the Trilogy set, the Moonphase Speedy, etc. etc.. As you well say, if you ask if you need another Omega for your coll...
Big Thanks Abel...sometimes I wonder what do I really want...
with all these watches and sometimes I ask myself why not just get a super nice watch instead of many small/medium ones. Of course if I have the means, to own many super nice ones that’s even better 🤣, but that’s not for mortals like me. Knowing our own l...

wow amazing collection :)
mine is really similar..just a few moon watches more (and I don't have the blue modern speedmaster moon and also not the Porsche one of course! )
Thanks my friend....The nice thing about Omega...
Availability is relatively easier than you know who 😉 Last year, I’m sure you might know 3 more joined and this year I’m expecting the new Bond 25 and the Ed White. ...
Hard to believe that both the Moonshine and the Buzz . . .
. . . are community watches, but they are. I think you're the only guy with both, though. ;-)
My memory ain't what it used to be . . .
. . . and it was never much good to begin with!
Resurection
Ha, this tread is back on the road again. Like a history book. Omega is a watch, lay it for years in a drawer, take it out and set the hands on the right time, and enjoy. From this day 22-1-2020 i understand why Nasa took the speedy as the watch which mus...
