Re: Omega Quality
In Response To: Omega Quality ()

If you started looking at all of the comparison reviews of Rolex to other watch brands, you'll soon see that the Omega name will pop up. In fact, Omega would probably pop up the most. Both companies have been long rivals and lots of vintage watch collectors claim that Omegas are just as good as Rolex.

Nowadays, that still holds, although Rolex does indeed get a slight nod in quality over Omega.

Nonetheless, an Omega, like any watch including Rolex if taken care of, will last a lifetime.

Can you picture yourself handing down an Omega Speedmaster to your grandchild after his/her graduation and having a discussion over the history of spacefight?

Or exclaiming that the old relic on your arm was made by the offical timekeeper of the Olympic Games?

Or talking about James Bond as you hand over the 2531.80?

(OK, OK, the last comment does apply to both brands, but you get the picture right?)

Convinced yet??? :-)
