I've bought and still own two out of the box Omega's and bought and returned a new Rolex GMT last year. I've looked at 60 to 100 Rolexes on others wrists and can't remember one time when they weren't fast by 5 or more minutes. The 2 dozen or so conversations I've had with Rolex owners have yeilded a 100 percent response that their Rolex gain "several minutes plus every month" which is more than the COSC 6 seconds per day.
My new Rolex gained 12 to 20 seconds a day!
Both of my Omegas kept time under .2 of a second per day for the first year! I wear my watches 24/7 and have them in a winder when not wearing them.
That said, making a few trips to your watch maker can bring either brand to within 2 seconds a day. Omegas are just much more accurate out of the box.
