Comments on: Two-Tone Omega’s http://www.omegablogger.com/archives/91 Omega Watch Blog Mon, 06 Sep 2010 06:30:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Walkerwek1958 http://www.omegablogger.com/archives/91/comment-page-1#comment-10347 Walkerwek1958 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:38:41 +0000 http://www.omegablogger.com/archives/91#comment-10347 I`m a big 2-tone fan.I collect Omegas (17 to date) and I have 5 2-tone ones to date. The 2-tone versions are always overpriced compared to steel (there's very little gold in them!) but they are rarer and more collectible in my view. If I ever learn how to post pictures on the net I`ll put some on. I tried the rose gold/steel Aqua Terra mid-size on in Dubai recently and immediately added it to my 'must have' list. I'm looking for a second hand one but they are v. hard to find. I`m also looking for a gold & steel Speedmaster reduced with either a gold or black dial. USA and Germany are good sources of 2-tone Omegas; they sold better in both markets than in the UK (probably down to over-pricing). To prove there is no logic in watch-collecting, my one and only Rolex is a steel Datejust with white gold bezel and Jubilee bracelet, much classier than the ubiquitous 2-tone models much loved by 1980s car dealers!

I've not seen the SS/RG AT on any of the forums so it must not be all that popular. I just wish Omega would produce the quartz mid-size AT TT I had in an automatic.

I have 2 myself, a Constellation and a Seamaster chronograph, both two-tone and very wearable. However, most of the time, like yourself, I prefer steel.
