: myself will be Omegas.
: Thanks for a great question Steve!!

I started out as a fan thanks to the Bond films bringing my attention to the SMP 2531.80. Then I started buying more Omegas, which put me in the "collector" category. The one thing I readily admit to is that I'm very fickle. I'll buy a watch, wear it for a while, and then trade it or sell it if I see another Omega I like better. I don't like to keep a bunch of watches that I only "half like". The watches I have I want to actually wear, so once a watch starts collecting dust I usually trade or sell it for something I like better.
