RE: Omega Speedmaster Triple date.
Yep, Rolex certainly has the desirability factor, while Omega does give you more options, not just in size, but also in configuration. Going through the various options on their website will take you some time, because there's just a flavour for everyone.
The watch that we dream for is definitely a Rolex, though Omegas and Grand Seikos are the ones that we can get today - relatively affordable, and no waiting lists... :-)
So if you had millions in your bank account and you had a contact that could get you any watch you wanted with no waiting list, what would you have? As for me because i've got a seamaster, and a speedmaster. The watch i would own if money was no problem would be the Rolex sky-dweller in everose gold. Beautiful watch and the pictures on the website don't do it any justice. The coloring of the metal when you actually see it in the shop window is something else. In the real world its £35000 though, so i'd say i won't be able to afford that one anytime soon.
Well, if I had millions in the bank, and a contact list which meant no waiting list, the dream watch would be a ceramic Daytona, in black and white.

The Daytona is just simply elegant and timeless, fitting in any occasion, either for sporting, or a cocktail party. I'd also take a Patek Philippe Nautilus. Although not as sporty as a Rolex, Omega, or Grand Seiko, it does have the fine qualities of a dress watch. According to some people, the Nautilus has a waiting list up to 8 years :o

Very nice, With an 8 year waiting list you would need that contact who can get it for you. or to want it very much.
Yep. When Kevin O' Leary got his Nautilus, he cried, given how much he likes it, and how long he's had to wait. For Patek Philippe, there's no shortcut, even if you're the No.1 in the world, although there are some unique circumstances where people managed to get them without having to wait long at all. Those lucky bastards...
