In Response To: Re: Watches - Tag/Rolex - Advice/Info???? ()

Just out of curiousity - how did you repsond to that question?

: I completely agree. If looks are as important
: as quality, I think the Seamaster is the way
: to go...it certainly has a more substantial
: feel to it and the bracelet links are not
: hollowed out as they are in the sub. My
: Seamaster has shown wear only on the clasp
: and this easily buffs out with a nail
: buffer. The dial on the seamaster is also
: richly textured and catches peoples
: attention. The Rolex is a fine quality piece
: and I like mine very much but I hardly ever
: wear it because the Seamaster is such a
: novel design and just has more detail in the
: style.
: Having said that, there are many people who
: haven't a clue what an Omega is...I had a
: young store clerk try to compliment my
: Seamaster the other day buy asking
: enthusiastically, "is that a
: Fossil?".
