Re: Omega Vs. Rolex
In Response To: Re: Omega Vs. Rolex ()

:Great job , you hit the watch right on the crystal ..... viva OMEGA !

Baloney.

: So is the OMEGA.

: So is the OMEGA.

: A simple design choice -- not proven better.
: Some OMEGA watches use screws too. Fails to
: point out that ROLEX bracelets are much
: flimsier overall than OMEGA bracelets.

: So is the OMEGA.

: And the OMEGA movements are produced by a
: division under the same parent company. So
: what.

: Huh? Where does this guy make up this stuff.

: So is the OMEGA.

: Baloney. The ultimate hard use watch is called
: the G-Shock from Casio and sells for under
: $100.
: No "ultimate" hard use watch would
: ever be based on a breakable mechanical
: movement.

: Totally unsupported opinion.

: Totally meaningless opinion.

: Meaning what? A movement's job it to tell the
: time. Anything 'job specific' is usually
: features of the CASE -- like water
: resistance for diving watches...

: Fit?

: ROLEX movements aren't either. So this is not a
: meaningful comment.

: Totally unsupported opinion.

: I'll remember that next time I drop my watch in
: a vat of acid. But it would take that to
: ever see the difference in the two grades of
: steel.

: No need to go on... I think I've shot holes in
: this guy's argument enough to show he's so
: biased for his choice of ROLEX that he
: refuses to believe that a competitor at half
: the price could be anything but junk.
