Trade my new omega planet ocean for rolex sub ND ?
« on: July 27, 2014, 10:53:45 PM »
Dear all,

I'm having a dilemma few day back when I decide to get my 1st luxury watch,
I narrow down my search to omega planet ocean and rolex submariner no date.

I tested both and like omega PO more mainly on the size, modernize look, weight, and the orange numeral.
That is like a love at 1st sight, after considering and visiting the AD straight for 3 days, I end up buying omega planet ocean with rubber strap, size 45.5mm. It's a great watch with any attire u on.

But now after few days, I still thinking about the rolex sub c ND, wish to own it when I see it on others hand.
Do you all think I should keep my omega PO or trade it for the rolex sub c ND

Thanks

Trust me, sooner or later you'll go for the submariner, for me it's more like a "lifetime watch". If i had only get to own one watch my entire life which nearly impossible ;D because we'll change our taste & style in timely manner but yet the no-date sub is my choice.

It's just so classic and won't go out of time, but the drawback is you have to accept that many folks out there will wear the same watch with you. If you don't mind that, then it's okay, for me it's a bit kinda annoying but what to say ? It's just a great watch, almost everybody loves it.

If I were you, i'll sell the PO in LNIB condition to avoid losses and go for the new 114060. It's just 2 cent of my thought

Good one, if you could afford another, go get yourself the SubC. You will never go wrong with a SubC  :Cheers:

If not flip your PO for a (hopefully) small loss, still thousand(s) ....  :HammerHead:

I see from the WTS section that you've made up your mind to let go the PO for the Sub ND. Both are great choices and you would almost always not go wrong with a Rolex, which has grest wrist presence and holds its value well. And watch-flipping is half the fun in this hobby, so you may just revisit the PO in future, mate.

Ya Andy, I guess I will surely revisit the PO in near future, both a very great watch, if I not manage to sell off this watch, I will keep it as a life time keeper and save for a submariner

LOL, most of the members here have had a thought or line similar to yours sometime during their horological journey  ;) Only to have another "lifetime keeper" coming along to replace the earlier lifetime keeper.

Since you bough it at the 1st place, I doubt there is no love at all.
At least give it some time.
Sub will always be there, can always buy when it's financially viable option for u in the future.

I have to agree with Bro Hanz and Bro Jacky. During the early stages, we tend to be quite brash. Give it some thought. The Planet Ocean is a brilliant watch in its own right. Technologically, it is as good if not better than the Rolex. Unfortunately, it does not carry the Crown logo hence it is often perceived as the lesser watch. There is nothing 'lesser' about the Planet Ocean. Keep it and save for the Submariner. When the time comes, you do need a daily wearer/ beater on top of your Rolex.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

Well my advice is you should just cut your losses and go for what you want .... both watches are too similar and you will incur more losses 6 months down the road should you want to sell your PO.

I was at a similar situation like yourself but I decided to cut my losses and sold my Omega Speedmaster and went for SubC, never looked back since......  :Laughing_on_floor:

Anyway, choice is yours.  :Dancing_banana:

I would say that both this Omega and the Sub ND qualify as wearer/beater. Better to save up for a nice dress watch instead.

Since you just bought the PO, you'll lose roughly the same amount regardless if you sold it now or a bit later.

And lastly, something made you choose it over the sub ND a few weeks ago so don't be easily swayed by popular opinion.

Keep your PO, put it in safe/winder, get a G-Shock, wear the G-Shock everyday for 3 months at least.

Until your brain has cooled off, make the decision again.
