Why Omega?

Why did you purchase your first Omega?  And perhaps more importantly, why did you buy another one?
(Presumption on my part that you own more than one, I know.  Tell me if I am wrong.)

I bought my first Omega when I was over 40, and felt I needed a good watch.  You know, a little bit of that sense of having a little success and wanting to enjoy it.  I had always enjoyed watches and had several. 

I had heard of Omega, and knew it was a good watch.  It was expensive, compared to what I was wearing at the time.  But I had reached a point where I wanted a sound mechanical. 

My first Omega was this Speedmaster triple date, which I bought when I was nearly completely ignorant.  But it kindled a passion which has not waned, for watches and especially this brand.  My knowledge has grown since then, considerably. 






Others followed in relatively quick obsession - oops, I mean succession.
