beautiful and extremely well made watch....

there are a lot of variations of the planet ocean.. different color faces and bezels.. different bands.. etc..

If you can afford one, figure out which version suits you best, and go for it.. it will last you a lifetime..

they wont retain their value like a rolex submariner will... but.. cost to entry is a significant bit lower.. and honestly, the Omega is every bit as "good" in terms of quality of the build, quality of the movement, etc as the Rolex (some would say Omega is actually superior)..

I think it hits the sweet spot for price and quality.

But what ever you do. Don’t ask BeeMaa

Can't go wrong with an Omega. I have always been a fan.

I think BeeMa will be along shortly.

I expect you will own two by the new year.

Seamaster 300 ti has served me well for decades.

I recently bought an Omega Railmaster. Absolutely stellar watch.

They are great watches! I have had one for many years and enjoy wearing it still. It has performed flawlessly!

It should be noted, however, that they are thicker and sit higher on the wrist than other popular sports watches, such as the Rolex Submariner or Explorer. It is something to consider if you plan to wear it while hunting as it may be more bulky than you want while carrying a gun.

Mine has been an excellent purchase.

I've had it about 6 years now. It works flawlessly, it's very well made, it's very accurate, even compared to my Milgauss or my Grand Seiko, and it's pretty much bombproof. The sapphire case back is a nice touch and it's a very pretty movement.

As mentioned by a few others, they are chunky pieces, so I'd try one on before you buy.

Mine (Plant Ocean 600M Chronograph) is really the absolute limit I can get away with before it starts looking a little silly for my wrist size.

They sit quite high as well, so not ideal for smart casual with a long sleeve shirt, or for a suit and tie type application. Black tie is completely out. With a t shirt, a short sleeved polo, a loose sweatshirt, hunting clothes, most jackets, it's absolutely fine though. Tool watch aesthetics basically dictate that use case anyway.
