: vote as to the 10 best watches in the world

: materials used.
I don't think it is correct to think of the steel that Rolex as being " a grade above" Omega's steel. Rolex's steel is more expensive. Each alloy represents a complex package of properties some of which aren't relevant at all to what you want. For example, are you really concerned about intergranular corrosion after welding? That's what 316L is good at. How about corrosion resistance in hot acids? Most of us don't dip our wrists in such things. I think more has been made of than needs to be.

Manuel
