I can't say I collect both now, but I used to be a Rolex collector and (very) small-time dealer. I took about 7 years "off" from watches/horology altogether and then slowly got hooked on Omega while I was in grad. school.
I only have one SMP now, and want another (AT? GMT?), but now that I know more about watches due to the explosion of info. avail. through the internet, I find Rolex too "common" and too "stuck in a design rut". From everything I have heard from retailers, small and large, "Rolex Inc." is a complete pain in the a** to deal with from a business standpoint.
Rolex may be more prestigious, but only to NON-watch officianados. Any serious watch enthusiast knows that if you buy Rolex, you are paying a premium for their name only.
