I loved the look of the DSOTM but found in person that it sat too high on the wrist due to the raised sapphire caseback. That was a deal breaker for me.

Thanks for all responses. In such a tough choice and I have decide to get both pieces. The first one I got is DSOM, right now sit back and waiting to for the door bell ring ring only.
I will add the BL sometime end of this year or maybe I will shift my shopping list to GO.

Blancpain..........if you're strictly speaking aesthetics...........I've tried on the Dark Side and did nothing for me. If no one told me that its an Omega and all the other great stuff about it, I would have thought it was a relatively inexpensive stylish watch. That BP however..........oh my!!!!!!!

Congrats! I love your decision. When undecided and hard to choose, get both!

Funny, I couldn't disagree more. The DSOM looks better than some ceramic chronos that are 2x as expensive.

Based on the picture, the Blancpain looks nicer. I don't know if it's just the lighting but the matte black/dark grey case looks nice, plus it may also just be the lighting but the dial has a dark dark bluish tint. It just looks more interesting.

The inner case made from ceramic titanium with brush finish result of dark grey color and outer lung is brush SS.

Not a fan of blancpain's sport collection unless we're talking FF, the omega by a wide margin for me

Being completely honest, BP does nothing for me. Omega may be a "lesser" brand, but I would gladly choose the DSOM.
Same here. BP name doesn't add value to me over omega here.

I have try it on and a deep affect on the dial was amazing also stunning case back movement show off.
Isn't this piece twice as much money? I tried it on recently but see no value in the complication.

Sir,I share your taste exactly... I mean really,those threw,the dsom, that particular l -evolution and this go are some of my own absolute favorites. :) I recently tried on the dsom and my love for it was strengthened by many multiple units...the bp in this context is a bit more restrained although on it's own it's very sporty...the go is a perfect middle ground with a beautiful architectural dial and gorgeous movement in a slightly more classic go fashion. :) wonderful choices and you have made a great decision to go for all, fantastic. :)

Thanks mate. I'm appreciate your comment. Like it. I love all of them. The reason I put them in a same page because I got a really good deal for each of them.
For daily watch, the omega is a winner this time.
IMO, for a very sporty watch I think BL L evolution vs JLC Amvox 5&7 will be a bad ass battle.

I'm totally agree. Love the unique design of the case and beautiful show off movement.
