Help me decide which piece to get as my first luxury watch after this years promo. My brother has a strong relationship with an AD so my options are looking like green Omega seamaster, GS snowflake, GMT Batman. Obvi Batman is almost 2x the others but I’ll eventually have all 3 at some point in my life

If you have a way to get the Batman at retail you should buy it. You can buy the others much easier

Years ago for his first watch, my brother was choosing between Omega Speedmaster DSOTM, Sub (no date), or Batman with the intention of owning all three eventually. Once he got the Batman, he didn’t want the two others anymore.

Definitely the GMT - you’ll be able to get the other two anytime you want

If you can get your hands on a Batman, it’s a no brainer.

Get the Batman if you can at retail. Then the Snowflake later when you have a dress occassion. Sure could wear the Batman all the time, but the GS is completely different. And then you will never need or want the Omega.

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky?

I always intended to wear with a leather strap but it took me far too long to get one. Although I did like the bracelet a lot more than I thought I would. The bracelet seems to be a constant knock on GS but I didn't find anything wrong with it. At least this model.
