Re: comparison SMP/Rolex
In Response To: comparison SMP/Rolex ()

I just got my first Rolex and I absolutley love it. I got a GMT-Master II, because I travel often and thought the 24 hour hand was a better feature than 200m extra water resitance in a Sub. However I do still plan to get a SeaDweller when I have the funds.

I also own and Omega Seamaster which is an excellent watch.

If I had to choose one it would be the Rolex, hands down. In defense the Rolex DOES NOT have a flimsly braclet, if anything it is MUCH more solid than my SMP Bond style braclet.

Those are just my experiences and I hope they can help. From what I've learned many people will buy a Seamaster and never want a Rolex but many others (like me) will by an Omega and a Rolex because they are two very different companies, and they make two very different types of watches.
