[OT] What watch would you choose? Sinn, Oris, or Omega Quartz
I know there are a few watch aficionados on this board so if you could only have 1 watch and had to choose between these three options which one would you choose and why?
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Quartz 39.5mm on bracelet (silver dial) $1750 (on closeout) Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date 40mm on strap (any dial color) $1550 Sinn 104 41mm on strap (any dial color) $1330 Last edited by NYCfixie; 12-20-2019 at 04:31 PM. |

i get that maybe these are some YOU are trying to decide between, but none of them appeal to me in any way, so there is no way i would ever find myself choosing between them for my only watch.
i'm a dive watch guy

I like the Sinn cause I'm always banging my watch on stuff and that one looks like the crystal is somewhat protected. The other two I'd toast out in 2 weeks.

Well, one is dress, one is casual and one is active. Of course since they are all expensive and decent watches they overlap a bit and can be worn anywhere (but hell, so can a Swatch) While I like Oris watches the hatching on that bezel is a bit feminine. But if you can only have one that Omega is the way to go.

Definitely not the Omega. Watches with quartz movements rarely retain their value.
Either the Sinn or the Oris (both of which use a reliable Sellita base movement) would be a clear choice. While not as accurate as quartz, automatic movements are a testament to the art of watch making. You'll appreciate the smooth flow of the second hand. The difference between the Sinn and the Oris is a personal choice. I like the diver-style of the Sinn, and it's practical to have the day of the week on the dial. |

just remembered - there was a guy years ago on one of the watch forums i frequent who had a seiko diver modified. he was a retired guy, and as a joke, he had a day wheel where every day was saturday in a different color. i thought that one was hilarious.

Even though it is quartz, I would take the Seamaster.

Omega is the Best Buy-not the best looking sea master though. The Sinn is the coolest. Would love a 356 fleiger if I was buying a Sinn. I would remove the Oris from competition although they do look better in person than in the image. My vote is for the Sinn! Edit: I didn’t catch that the omega is a quartz movement. Not a good investment. Double-vote for the Sinn. Last edited by IJWS; 12-19-2019 at 12:07 PM. Reason: Quartz movement |

My sense is the silver-on-silver legibility of that particular Omega would become quite maddening over time and as we all age.
Oris is really sweet and likely wears the biggest since the bezel is thin. Most dressy of the three. Very attractive. Sinn model probably has the most flexibility in capability to be dressed-up or dressed-down with ease. That said...my choice would be the Sinn. |

I'm a big fan of Omega, but would advise against an Omega quartz, unless you're buying them used for <$1000.
Not an option you provided but i would recommend buying a used automatic Omega. I used Watchrecon to find a local person selling the Omega I wanted and everything worked out really well. Get an Omega that uses an in-house movement, you won't regret it! |

I like the Sinn. But if I had over a grand to spend on a new bit of bling I'd by a frameset!!
