Rolex are nice watches, I own one too.
But Omega is comparable or exceeds Rolex on all meaningful measures of quality and performance. I consider them equally good watches.
Some people argue that certain aspects about Rolex movements are somewhat more refined. But these are at such a technical and imperceptible level that they are completely meaningless to any owner.
Some people psyche themselves out thinking that these extremely trivial and imperceptible differences are important and will end up paying an additional $1000-2000 on the cost of the watch.
That is sad because the movement on a typical Omega or Rolex costs UNDER $100 to make. Hardly any justification for paying thousands of dollars more for a watch over imperceptible differences in an under $100 part.
