564 goodness
Thought I was only going to collect one example of each caliber from Omega's automatic offerings from the 60's..until my second 564 came along inside the 168.015 to go with the 168.005. IMO, this makes a nice combination of Constellations - one pie pan, one dome dial; one solid gold, one stainless steel; one screw back, one front loader:

Watch Brands question.
I know a few brands of watches. But I don't know much about their history or quality of products. Is there like a list where I can find where they stand compared to others in relation to quality, price?

5146 or 3940

(I know, only I can answer that)Older model (2005)I will have to shell out ¡ê14k and trade in my 5146 for itPros for the 5146-The dial size and brown (thicker) strap make this a good casual wearerI do like the dial and I'm very fond of the leaf handsIt's a newer model (2007)Cons-It's not a perpetual Sometimes I think the case is a little too thick (that was only after I saw the 3940)Poor picture but it gives you an idea.A couple of wrist shots:AndI do have a tendency to get bored and look around for something else. I have been a flipper in the past but I'm trying to consolid
