In terms of movement, Sub is definitely better than Seamaster. Yes, both are cronometre (Sub 14060 is not) but the quality of movement (i.e. robustness or finish etc) is much better in Rolex, in-house movement, than ETA modified OMEGA.I think everybody who knows a bit about both watches agree with this point. But I guess it does not make much difference in dairy use at least in short run.
In terms of design, I think it depends on one's taste although Sub is the classic of diver's watch and has been very influential to many watches. But I guess some people prefer OMEGA's more modern looking design even though its basic design is, I think, coming from Sub.
In terms of cost performance, without doubt, I think Seamaster is better than Sub. With that price, Seamaster has many respectable features. Sub is slightly overpriced these days.
If you have money and are willing to spend over $3,000 to the diver's watch, go to Sub. If not, go to Seamaster. These two have very different prices (inside too). I don't think it's wise to compare them in the same category.
