Perrelet Turbine Poker VS Omega Seamaster 600 M

I just would like to know your thought's about my cross shop idea.

As some of you know, I own an Breitling Superocean M2000 since 2013.
Now it's definately time for a change and Iam looking for an automatic movement and an not-so-heavy watch

Iam torn about two canditates:

1.) Omega Seamaster 600 M



2.) Perrelet Turbine Poker




My current watch attached...

Now wich one would you rather?

I vote for the Omega, but the Perrelet is pretty sweet and unique. Price being equal, I'd get the Perrelet for the uniqueness factor. I don't think price is equal though. Not a fan of Breitling myself, so that would be my last choice.

Not a Breitling fan, Omega is my choice.

How about a Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 231.10.42.21.02.004

My vote is for Omega. I love the orange dial on the Seamaster POs! (I'm also partial because I have an Omega haha). In all honesty, I haven't heard of the other watch you are considering.

Omega for sure. Perrelet is nice but tanks in value. I had a Perrelet Jump Hour. Had lots of problems with it.

Guys...wifey said to rather buy an Explorer instead of the Omega.

RLX with an White face dial.

We checked the Omega but 45mm IDK.
Would you guys take the Explorer over the Omega?
I don't care about the price, it's more an appropriate watch-for-my-age thing.

So as mentioned due to wifeys intervention a new candidate popped up out of freaking nowhere.
Sorry for the switch...wifeys fault..

Of the options that you've provided: Explorer, Perrelet, or Seamaster you should consider the fact that two of those watches will likely hold their value and potentially appreciate in value during your lifetime- Rolex & Omega. However, that Perrelet has already depreciated. It's a novelty watch. If you're an avid poker player and you want a watch that you can take with you and not mind if it gets hurt, lost, or stolen - now you're talking about a Perrelet.

If the new Explorer II is an option, I would go for that for sure.

Will get an Explorer 2 only thing that Iam still not sure is about it's diameter.
42mm still sounds huge..
I'm allready having this Superocean M2000 with almost 46mm and Iam really not interested to buy another uncomfortable, heavy ass watch. Will keep ya'll updated.

What size wrist do you have?? I would say that most men with a normal sized wrist would be comfortable with any of the Rolex models. They are all quite comfortable to wear. Your 46mm is a behemoth of a watch. I can imagine it being uncomfortable, akin to a large Panerai. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the Explorer.

Explorer II at 42mm is very comfortable. Definitely try it on and get a better feel for yourself.

I like the omega also. Don't like chrono watches much because face is too busy. The omega is less noticeable so than your Breitling
