Rolex VS Omega knock down drag out
Really it depends how much cash you are willing to dump on a watch. Rolex watches don't have any more features than omega watches. They are not any more accurate. With Rolex your paying more just for the brand name. I suppose there is nothing wrong with that. People paying for brand names is what our entire consumer culture is based around.
The way I see it. People who know about and like watches will probably complement you on your Rolex as they think to themselves that you are a slave to marketing. People who don't know about watches will complement you on your Rolex as they think to themselves that your are a big sucker to drop 4 grand on a watch when their timex tells time just as well.
Of course a big part of me chosing Omega is that my father has one that he got in 1953. It still runs and as far as I know has never been serviced. That 51 year vote of convidence in Omega plus "family tradition" if you will nudded me towards Omega.
Every now and then I think. "Hmm maybe some day I'll get another auto and it will be a Sub." I know that if I ever buy a Rolex I'll feel a bit like a slave to marketing but I'd still prob enjoy the watch.
