the price of the rolex and co-axial

In Response To: Service after sale comment ()

both watches were purchased in the same week. i paid around $2,600 (pre-tax) for the Seamaster after Jared gave their discount of 15%.

My submariner set me back $5,175.00 (pre-tax)

There was no discount available on the rolex and i purchased it from a different AD than my omega because buying a watch from Jared where I live is like buying an HDTV from best buy- the sales staff have absolutely no idea about the product they are selling- so i will no longer buy from them.

Like i said in my previous post-my omega and rolex are both great watches, but the rolex looks like more attention to detail was paid in the whole process of making the watch. i think that is hard for the people on this post to comprehend because MOST of you on this forum want to say negative things about rolex everytime you get the chance-or at least try to agree with someone who has. this is the only forum i frequent where omega owners never want to admit the quality of a rolex. i am on rolex forums where the members have said in several posts that omegas are also great watches-but FEW of the members on this forum will ever say that about a rolex. i don't understand.
