Covering "Come In From The Cold" shortly after lockdowns blew me away and introduced me to Joni Mitchell, somewhat embarrassing to admit for a forty year old music snob. https://www.youtube.com/live/37uYSek4r-0
Night and day. The Omega is a relatively small 39mm but wears smaller, has 18mm lugs. I love the busy dial, but do not love the pointer date. It's a great business casual watch, but these days I'm wearing shorts and tees and at the pool more than the office. The Chrono Superocean is gd amazing - it wears all of its 42mm which is as big as I would go, but has a restrained l2l, obviously very show-offy, utilitarian with chrono and bezel timers plus day date, Professional II bracelet is phenomenal, and unexpected for my personality and appearance. Tons of value in both of these, both are still <$2k all day.
Maybe next couple years will start looking at 1625 or 16610 but the BB54 is as interesting to me as anything Rolex is doing.
YourFancyWoodGifts "handmade" on Etsy which usually means direct from China but it wasn't dropshipped it came with like fifty Ukrainian stamps taped to the box and obviously they did the custom dickbutt and I couldn't find anything similar on Ali so who knows. Solid top with a lower drawer was exactly what I was looking for, and more utilitarian than fancy which is my style anyway. My other option was literally going to be an old toolbox so my wife's probably happier with this.
I read on WUS that they are non-functional.
