 I'd start of with the Squale first because it's got a rich history and heritage, although now with new owners, but the tradition should be there. My research and PMs to other guys also shows that build quality is way up there. In short, it's a watch that will be a keeper.

Then, after a year, if you still really get drawn to the Omega, that would be a good time to shoot it down. Different look, different feel. Their co-axial escapements are technological coups, meaning they are tops.....Omega just wasn't good on marketing them....oh my.gif. One Omega I really would go for is the Ploprof. I held one in my hands a few days ago at the AD and Omega's anti-shark bracelet, as described by many WIS, is pace-setting with just the right kind of break on the wrist to accomodate hand movements.

In the end, you could end up with 2 good watches at best or, if the Omega doesn't appeal to you anymore, still retain the enviable Squale and still be a prudent WIS.

Hope this helps, amigo. Let us know what route you'll be taking on thishappy guy.gif
