Venture out to other brands?

I'm fairly new to the watch scene. I recently bought my 1st Omega. It's a SMP black dial and I love it. I also own an automatic Tag Heuer. I fatasize of purchasing 2-3 more watches in my lifetime but it will be impractical for me to choose brands like AP, GP, PP, JLC,.. etc since I'm in the middle class bracket. I even cringe at Rolex prices even though I absolutely love the datejust silver stick dial with jubilee bracelet. Here comes the issue finally.....I love Omegas because I feel that it has a great balance of quality, price, horology, history, presitge, and humility. I have my eye on the Deville and Aqua Terra in the future. Would it be wise for me to stick with Omega's for the few watches I plan to purchase in my lifetime or venture off to other brands like Breitling, Rolex, Cartier to add diversity to my collection? Like I said, I love the Rolex datejust but I can purchase 2 Omega's for the same price. I'll appreciate advise. thanks
