: That the other day I saw the first time in my
: life a Submariner at a close range.
: It was laid in a showcase right next to a SMP,
: both SS black dial. I was amazed to find how
: much they differ from each other. The Rolex
: seemed to look like a plain watch as the
: same as many other diver's watches of many
: non luxury brands. No single detail could be
: found to distinguish it from them (at least
: to a non expert like myself). In comparison
: to the Rolex the SMP really looked like a
: royal piece. The nice lines of the SMP, the
: beveled legs, the unique bezel's shape and
: other more details just make it look
: different and noble. One may say that I'm
: not objective for making such a comparison,
: which would definitely be true, but who
: cares. I'd let the Rolexians being cared.
: Just my opinion.
: Baruch.
My interest is in older Omegas, and I've noticed the same thing. Omegas tend to have a little more style and details that identify them as an Omega. Rolexes seem to be a bit plainer...still very nice watches, but maybe too restrained for my taste.
