Re: Need Help With Watch Decision: Omega vs. Rolex
In Response To: Re: Need Help With Watch Decision: Omega vs. Rolex ()

Antonio,
I must say it's refreshing to hear from a Rolex owner who appreciates the quality of other brands as well. I have talked with too many arrogant salesmen and "friends of friends" who feel that anything less than a Rolex is "substandard". Rolex may be more expensive and more well known than other brands, but that DOES NOT make Rolex a better watch. I actually sold my Sea Dweller simply because I liked my Seamaster better. I didn't feel that one had a higher quality than the other, I simply found that I liked the look and feel of my Seamaster better. It was just personal preference. I'm glad to hear that you aren't one of those "Rolex snobs" I so often meet.
