Decision made - Stick

[AlphaOmega]

EDIT

I've decided to stick 8) rather than twist - does anyone know if I can change the bezel colour on this 2264 (and if so any ideas how much it would cost)?

Thx for any comments.

[gee-whizz]

I would stick with that.
Always good to have a quartz and they dont come much better than that.
Ive just bought a Sinn UX as I have no quartz since I sold my 17Q, ideal to always have a watch ready to go.

Seeing as you can't think of any alternatives, I'd stick. It's a great quality quartz

twist

sell it and keep your lovely Speedmaster Alaska Project :)

Twist and buy a Breitling Colt.

[pbr]

If it was me I´d either stick with it or get the automatic 2254.50.00 version instead - hard to think of a more classic and versatile choice at the price IMO :)

I had the 2254 once and regret having sold it :(

stick. its a classic. 8 out of 10 wisses cant be wrong. why you would consider flipping it if you dont even have a idea of whats going to replace it bewilders me... but having sad that, if you do want to twist, then pm me :wink:

Ha ha :) If only there was a right or wrong about it - it would make one's job of choosing that much easier. A Sub or a Speedy Pro, that's all that's on offer :D

If it was me I'd twist, and get something thermo-compensated. A deadly accurate quartz has a special ability that nothing else has - so if you're going to have quartz, have one that all the others are measured by, more or less. Sinns and Breitlings with TC'd movements are probably available as a straight trade for that Omega.

Do you have an auto seamaster as well?

Also great pic :)

[seaninog]

Twist!

Too many other great watches out there not to..!

[firedfromthecircus]

Stick, unless you go with PBRs recommendation.
That look is too classic to lose 8)


But I might be biased :lol:

[bonzo697]

Stick the watch but twist the nato.

[thattallchap]

I'd stick, i'm very happy with my recent purchase - Seamaster 2255 - and it looks really good on that Nato!

This is the only Seamaster. In fact it will be the only Omega once this sells http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=134410

So consensus view is to keep the 2264 (but maybe not Eddie's Bond nato :| ) unless I want to trade up to the 2254 :)

[MattH]

Its a cool quartz... keep it :)

[Neil.C]

Keep it.

I have the same watch (present from wife)

They are excellent VFM and great lookers.

[Statts]

Stick.
I'm considering a quartz SMP as a beater.

[AlphaOmega]

I've decided to stick - BTW anyone know if it's poss to change the bezel colour and how much that would be?

[MattH]

Change the bezel to what ? - what other colours options are available ?

Morning btw :)

Stick with the watch, but twist the shirt, it's mumpin' :D

[shadowninja]

ofrei have other bezels that could fit. I would get the bezel removed rather than replacing the insert and risk damaging anything but then I have hooves when it comes to tinkering with watches...

[AlphaOmega]

Change the bezel to what ? - what other colours options are available ?

Morning btw :)

Hello - I was hoping we'd meet up soon to discuss... :D

Not sure if there are any options TBH - unless I want to follow some other members and stick the bezel in the oven to bake it :shock:

Don't think that's in my OED but I'll check. :D

[Jeremy73]

Stick with it!

I bought that watch new twice and used 3 times...I like it very much and it always calls me back as a call to the Basics ;o).

It is a very very good watch that will never let you down. Best bracelet to head weight balance in the SMP line IMHO
