Accuracy: Omega vs. Rolex--again...

Hello all,

I sold my Submariner, and I am now contemplating either an Omega or a Rolex. I have owned both brands of watches, but not long enough to tell which one is more accurate over a long period of time. So, all of those who own both brands can help with this question--even those who previously owned either brand too. Which brand is generally regarded as more accurate? I'm not looking for marketed research here, or a bunch of Ads from the companies. I want factual answers from the people who buy and wear these brands of watches each and every day. People who wear their watches into the ground. Basically, I am asking for a consumer call, and what the consumer really thinks. The two models I am choosing between is the Omega Seamaster Chronograph, and the Rolex GMT Master II. I know they sound totally apart as far as functions is concerned, but these two watches are "my favorites" of the two brands in question, so that's the reason for the extreme differences.

Thanks,
Brent Schultz
