Re: Info on seamaster Vs. Rolex
I talked about in this forum with John Rochowicz some weeks ago (you can survey the messages down below I guess). Rolex is just a very good watch and a name, BUT NOT THE BEST WATCH!!!. Rolex works on its own movements (probably the reason for which they haven't invented another Microstella yet.), and Omega eventually uses heavy modifications of ETA, Dubois Depraz, etc...but this is not bad by no means. In fact, in Rolex they haven't invented anything new, since the movements are an standard in some sense: simple movements, complicated movements and very complicated movements. I own Omega (SM America´s Cup Racing 2569.52.00) and Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000. Both of them are good and have their own features. I spent many hours in winter on field works in snow and blizzards and both watches are robust. And now the money.
Rolex is more expensive than Omega for certain models, but not for all of them. In terms of stainless steel models, my omega and other models like the brand new Planet Ocean are equal to a Rolex Submariner. You know something? Many people with Rolex Submariner or so are in the belief they are wearing the most expensive stainless steel watch in the world (hence the more precise); they don't know that watches like some Breguet chronographs (Officially Certified chronometers, of course) cost more than twice a Rolex Submariner, for example. Their watch choice and their arrogance give a clue about their ignorance...
Join Omega owners!!
