lishper Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 hey everyone. as a n00bcake, I purchased my first rep two weeks ago and received it, couldn't be happier (an Omega Seamaster). my brother noticed my rep this past weekend and was really interested in getting one, but for me, I purchased the Omega mainly to wear on occasions. He'd want something that would handle the daily wear and tear of work. what do you recommend? i mentioned to him about the n00bmariner but he's worried it might not last that long. I obviously have extremely limited experience with reps and the n00bmariner, so I figured I'd ask everyone's opinions! thanks in advance!

jkerouac Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm curious, why do you consider a Seamaster rep as a special occasion watch? It's a great watch (both ETA and less expensive Asian versions) that many members wear as their daily beaters... and have worn for years of reliable service. I happen to have an ETA, but many people have raved about the quality of their Asian versions as well. And when yout alk about the "daily wear and tear of work," what kind of work are you talking about? If you operate a jack-hammer all day then I might not wear any manual or automatic watch. On the other hand, if you are a regular working person, in an office or therwise, then most of the watches that you see discussed here are excellent choices. So answer these questions, figure out more exact criteria, and read the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
