In Response To: Thanks Tim, honestly ()

No problem, to be honest, I agree 100%. After the faults with my Submariner, and the disappointment of my Daytona, I will never buy another Rolex. It looks great, but the strap isn't adjustable enough, which meant the end of the strap is inside the clasp, and I had to rig a second spring-pin in the end of the clasp to hold it flat against the strap, and to be honest, given what Rolex charge for Daytonas, and how hard they are to come by, I wouldn't expect to have to modify it myself...
On price, Omega are a much better deal, as not only are they a better manufactured watch, they only cost half the price of a Rolex, so in a way, you're getting a real bargain. If you're after a quality watch that will last well, I'd recommend an Omega over a Rolex every time.
