In Response To: Info on seamaster ()

While a lot of Rolex enthusiasts insist that Rolex is better because they make their own "in-house" movements, the overall quality of their watches really isn't any better than a comparable Omega. Omega, Breitling, and Rolex are all basically equal in terms of quality, even though Omega and Breitling do use heavily modified ETA movements in their watches.

The major difference is that Rolex watches cost more than double the cost of a comparable Omega, and Rolex dealers will not discount the way Omega dealers will. You could buy three Omegas for the price of one Rolex after these discounts. I have yet to meet anyone who can convince me that one Rolex is worth the price of three Omegas.
