I keep hearing that Omega isn't what it once was, but the Broad Arrow is just a gorgeous timepiece to my eye anyway.

I will pay the $5 for you. The watch is only a 42mm, so I think it will fit you well.

I still have an Omega and it is a fine watch.

As for at least one black and one face I sort of agree but I don't think it has to be pure white just light. Silver or something is fine.
+1, but both.

It's the principle so I must decline.

Have a couple of friends that have purchased Omegas recently, and both have had a lot of problems with their watches. Also, a watchmaker friend says that the quality has gone downhill recently. 3 random opinions, but I generally respect all 3 when it comes to watches, so it's been giving me pause, even though I'm pretty sure I'll bite the bullet come tax refund time.

Interesting. I'm trying to think. I guess mine is 10-15 years old.

Tax refund? What's that??????

Someone that gives the government their money interest-free for a year before they get it back.
Anyone have any experience with Shinola? I have been looking for a fun weekend watch and I like some of their styles.

Don't even get me started this year. I double paid my payroll taxes this year because I switched jobs (not of my own volition). Made an even larger interest-free loan to the komissars this year than usual. I don't really mind though since they're so responsible with my money and treat it like they earned it themselves.
Have a TW Steel TW1 that I love, but looking for a second watch...
Any suggestion in that price range in similar style but from other brands ?

I'd love to help, but I've been reminded many times I don't know sh*t from shinola.

I don't know how one could by anything named Shinola unless it's a shoe polish--too much association with that saying.

Glenn, I have no experience. Looks like they are trying to pick up where Hamilton was both in style and being American made prior to 1984 when Swatch took Hamilton out.
Shinola are also all quartz movement so they will be very affordable.
Please post if you buy one.
Looked at a IWC pilot today in Los Olas...this may be my next watch. Going to Panerai tomorrow i think

Marc, nice options. Check out the Zenith Pilot timepiece as well.

I bought one about six months ago and have had no problems with the watch. I believe they have them at Nordstrom and other department stores if you want to actually see/wear one.

We might want to test the watch out a skosh more than six months before recommending.
