New LLD without a blink

Sorry to all Omega fans out there, this Omega SMP just...just......didn't work for me, or borderline "ugly" to me

The Planet Ocean is another kind of animal though...

I will not buying from mudah.my...
If used omega, suggest cod and nego with seller to bring the watch at omega service centre for quick check. Otherwise, I'll skip and better look for merchant from our mwf...

LOL, to each is his own, but I had both and I felt that both had their own strong points. To me, SMP was more of a dress-diver watch (kinda like a Submariner) while PO was more of a serious tool watch (kinda like a Pelagos).

I'd do this if I like the Omega very much. Else, I'd just get the LLD if I were you.

but of cos, rm6k or less can also get the 2254

Ramses · « **Reply #32 on:** April 28, 2015, 09:37:42 AM »

This is what I want. I don't mind getting it used. The black SMP is a dressy tool watch.

But then again the LLD also cantik...

Arggghhhh

Thanks again for all the comments

Go try out both on your wrist and see which one nicer and more suitable. If you are still undecided, buy both, or don't buy at all and start to look at other pieces.

Buy both

I own an Omega SMP 2254 and I used to have an LLD No Date, I shall just share my 0.05 cent

Aesthetically speaking, I prefer the LLD No Date.
I like its super compressor design, domed glass, and shiny case finishing (but not the hands).
However, if I would to buy a LLD, it has to be no date. To me, the date window completely ruined the design.

If I would to choose between an SMP and LLD, I will ask myself whether it is going to be my only watch / daily wear / beater / swimming buddy. If my answer is any or all of above, SMP 2254 will be a better choice - it is a sturdy, well made, good looking watch that fits all occasion. The LLD No Date, on the other hand, is not a beater, it looks nice and needed to be baby.

1. The case is polish and shiny. Hence, prone to scratches;
2. Its inner bezel is next to useless. Aesthetically, it is beautiful, but not practical at all;
3. The lume is bad;
4. Compared to SMP that is on a bracelet, the LLD leather strap is prone to wear and tear.

Coming back to the black SMP 2254, it is, to me, one of the best watch within its price range

Just my 0.05 cent

myric · « **Reply #40 on:** May 06, 2015, 03:06:20 PM »

New LLD for me, personally I don't like no papers.

Ramses · « **Reply #41 on:** May 18, 2015, 07:09:37 PM »

Hi guys,

Thanks again for all your great views & opinion.

I decided to pull the trigger and bought...

NEITHER one of them.

After extensive research and looking at the watch in detail.

I bought something that looks like a combination of a Seamaster, Brietling with big numbers and the Black Bay.

I bought the new facelifted Longines Hydroconquest, which is half the price of a used Seamaster and uses the ETA-2924 movement.

Value for Money
