Hey Guys,

I'm looking at two watches and I can't decide which one to go with. One is a vintage gold Omega Geneve pictured below. The other is the rose gold hamilton x-copter also pictured below. I absolutely love both and in a perfect world I would buy both but alas, it would be irresponsible of me to buy two watches right now! I've included pictures of both watches. Let me know your thoughts and/or opinions. The Omega is $850 and the hamilton is $1,350 brand new.

Welcome to WUS, I hope you enjoy your stay! Both are nice watches from companies with a history of quality.

I would go with the Hamilton (I would shop around for price). I prefer the leather strap, rose gold, and generally sportier look of the Hamilton, especially if it were something that I would be planning to wear regularly.

I like Hamilton's but that one is too complicated to read easily IMHO.

For me, my choice between those 2 would also depend on the size of the Omega - vintage are often too small. (<40mm)

Not a fan of gold, but between the two the Omega is IMO infinitely more pleasing to the eye than the Hamilton which looks like something out of the TW Steel catalogue (i.e it looks horrible)

The Omega because u can get rid of it when u don't want it anymore, what where they thinking at Hamilton; we actually want to build a heli platform as a watch?

Hamiltons are great but the one you have picked doesn't really appeal to me. Having said that I would definitely go for most Hamiltons over that particular Omega.
