If you don’t know why watch colectors tend to prefer mechanical to quartz… Then it’s probably because your watch journey is still yet to start… So I will let you find out by yourself…. By the way some people never do… But at the end of the day what maters is that you’re happy…

Exactly. This article did not cover those fundamental points. To be fair, even if it did, for an article written a couple of days ago – it would be raking old leaves anyway.

Very well say. I also own both time pieces and with today society looks Is what most people are looking special when they see this time piece, it is sad but yes Both are very good watches in today’s industry

It’s a quartz watch.
Yes, I now the “real” watch lovers will not like the idea!
But my Omega never need “maintenance “, is very exactly so……
Can somebody explain me this issue?

I hate to break the news to you, but the Rolex has a ceramic bezel too.

I have owned both, and loved both….for different reasons and worn for different occasions. My watch of preference these days is the Deepsea Dweller James Cameron. Sturdy, accurate, not pretentious, and an everyday item. Nothing against Omega in any way! If Omega is good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for every man, from every walk of life….. but so is a Rolex!

Guess I should add the Seamaster is a better watch on paper but in the real world that doesn't always translate to a better product or better owners experience. You can't go wrong with either watch and yes the Omega is better value for money but money aside you should buy whichever one makes you happy (sorry for beating a dead horse), whichever gives you the warm and fuzzies, whichever won't make you second guess yourself, and whichever one will put that smile on your face every time you put it on. Viva Watchmaking!]]> As a collector I own many brands and have owned even more and I’m sorry but Rolex watches are middle of the road (which isn’t a bad thing) . They have been resting on there name for years and, for most people there money is being spent so they can say “I have a Rolex”. Don’t get me wrong this is far from true in every case and they make a great watch but so do many other brands, you can get many as good watches for cheaper and just as many that are more expensive. While I feel, even at retail, most (not all) Rolexs are overpriced (so are many other brands) you still get a watch that will make you happy for many years to come and in the end what’s better then being happy? They are produced it high numbers, have basic functions, basic finishes, and basic movements. Many people disagree with me and most collectors agree with me and both sides are right because your opinion is your right and by default can never be wrong. One thing I will add is Rolex gives many people something to strive for and introduces many people to “luxury” watches which is great, I just wish many of those same people would then step into other brands so they can truly experience what Haute Horlogerie means. By doing so they will understand both sides of the argument and be even happier (back to the “what’s better then being happy? ” comment 😉). Guess I should add the Seamaster is a better watch on paper but in the real world that doesn’t always translate to a better product or better owners experience. You can’t go wrong with either watch and yes the Omega is better value for money but money aside you should buy whichever one makes you happy (sorry for beating a dead horse), whichever gives you the warm and fuzzies, whichever won’t make you second guess yourself, and whichever one will put that smile on your face every time you put it on.

Twenty years makes a difference.
My Omega watches are super-reliable.

I feel exactly the same way. Benz vs Audi and that being generous to Omega…

Omega in shop three times for defective GMT, quick-set and date changing mechanisms. Each commanding a hefty repair bill.
Rolex zero issues.
Sold the Omega and keeping the Rolex.
The difference in quality is clear as far as I am concerned.
Proof is in the pudding. Rolex is a superior maison, no one can convince me of the contrary.

While Rolex is a excellent timepiece they are way overpriced and Rolex’ innovation is slow as molasses. I’ll bet Omega R&D budget is more than Rolex as they are striving to constantly make a better product while keeping value in check. I dont see Rolex doing anything innovative except for an occasional hairspring redesign or clasp improvement. Rolex is more focused on brand and less on development.

While I respect Rolex, the cost to own is ridiculous. The supply chain issues are disrespectful to customers who wish to purchase. No other luxury brand does this; I say give your money to a company that respects the customer.
