    I have two Omega watches and I love them. A Seamaster Planet Ocean from 2010 is my day to day watch and it is amazing. Yesterday bought the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 Chronograph with a blue dial and bezel. In love with it already. Why Omega? They are affordable, high quality and you can walk into a dealer and buy one unlike Rolex. The Omega is also a bigger watch which suits me. Finally, I’m not buying for investment, I’m buying for the watch I want to wear and keep and will leave to my son. ❤

    They both occupy specific niches in the watch world. Omega is a watch enthusiast's brand sporting all sorts of amazing technical features but obtainable enough for the everyman. Also has ties to James Bond. Rolex is a household name and has a lot of more appeal to non-enthusiasts due to its status symbol or something you buy to mark an important milestone. Appreciated by enthusiasts as well but too often swept up by investors and influencers.

    The video didn't mention Rolex was founded in the UK. The video did correctly mention it was founded in the 20th century. The video incorrectly states Rolex developed 904Lstainless steel. It merely began to utilize 904L steel in its watches in 1985. It's softer than 316L so it scratches more easily and has a higher allergy risk than 316L, but a bit more corrosion resistant. The video leaves out how it was Omega that began having solid endlinks for their bracelets first. Rolex was using hollow endlink bracelets that sounded rattly and stretched out until 2005.

    New to watches and IMO I don’t see Omega surpassing Rolex anytime soon. Rolex name is common place like I said I knew hardly anything about watches until this year but knew Rolex is a premium and sought watch, after for reputation, only heard of Omega was when I saw it on Bond. For them to surpass Rolex they will need to do some serious marketing, watch performance is the first step but they need to get materialistic people who know little about watches but have a need to impress or insecurity for bragging on the brand. Reading the comments on watch videos I don’t see this happening.

    Rolex busynesswise is much stronger than Omega, but for most of the cunsumers Omega is a much better choice. It is much easyer to get. I don´t belive there is much different in quality anymore. Both brand makes super water resistant watches. Omega now makes a watch that can dive 6.000 meters, but it is just for show. Still every Omega is fairly waterresistant for everyday use and accendely showering of a fall into a pool. Both brand makes super accurate watches. Warenty is the same, and serviceinterval 10 years for Rolex in avage and perhaps 7 - 8 years on Omegas. Service in general is also fine with both brands, however Rolex often service a watch in Europe, as far I know 3 - 5 weeks and an Rolex center does it. Omega often send there watches into a big Swatchgroup Omega service center and if just there is some wear and tear on th lock, and you won´t replace it with a new lock, they will deny giving your watch a service at all. It takes 10 - 13 weeks to get a service. Anyway that was what happend to my Omega Seamaster chrono gold/steel version from 1998 at Swatchgroup in Germany. But all together I think Omega does beat Rolex right now. But if Rolex had a waitlist of max 2 mounths on every model, then prices would not go above retail and then Rolex would be the overall winner I think.

  • @gavinwhite9743

    Quick answer is no. Ask anyone on the street to name a premium watch, and Rolex is the answer. With trust ownership removing need for quick profits, and such high market share, it now commands a position that will take decades to unwind. This has nothing to do with the quality of its product, history or high heurology. Brand awareness, market share and ownership. I own both brands, love them both. Both are lovely to own. ( 14060m Sub, and Speedmaster Pro.)

    I have a Rolex Quartz, given to me by my Dad who is a big Rolex fan. I guess, because of him, that was the brand I grew up with and bought later on, when I could afford to buy a decent watch. I loved that it was tough. I later went on to buy a Rolex GMT-Master 2 as well as a Rolex Deepsea. Recently, however, after a lot of research I purchased an Omega Seamaster 300 Chrono 44m (with Omega’s famous Co-Axial Escapement) which in my opinion trumps the equivalent Rolex offering (i.e the Submariner). Plus I loved the look of black and gold! If you’re really interested in the engineering in the watch, and you want the most robust, the most tested, something of superior technology, something extremely accurate, between the two - you’d get an Omega. If you don’t know any better, and you just want to rely on what the crowds worship (which actually, was how my Dad (and for a time me even) roll) you’d get a Rolex.

Omega produce movements of different kinds like chronographs, perpetual calendars, automatics, manual, marine chronometers, central tourbillion, moonphase, automata, and several others, 15000 Gauss Antimagnetic watches as regular production while Rolex only produce automatics, chronographs and manual movements, so Omega has the Technical Upperhand, And these are just a few. What Rolex has head and shoulders over Omega is Marketing, of which this video is part of it. And what is more, Grand Seiko is also SUPERIOR to Rolex. Rolex was unable to produce a chronograph by itself until 2000, while Omega and Grand Seiko have been doing so for more than 50 years, and one of the BEST Chrono calibers belongs to Grand Seiko, and the other close to it is from Omega, and then Zenith.

    Don't really know why everyone is so obsessed comparing those two watches. Why do not compare Rolex to a watch house that is in a similar price range? My opinion is that Rolex is playing in a price range and is not justified, not technically not qualitatively. Let's compare Rolex to Jeager LeCoultre? In short, you simply can not... because Jeager is lightyears ahead. Offering complications Rolex can dream off. For the price of a simple stopwatch (sorry Daytona is a simple stopwatch) Jeager is offering a perpendicular calendar. If you, however want to compare build quality and technology (not the resale value!) Omega still wins the battle. Rolex wins only in marketing/brainwashed costumers and rude AD behaviour. I am surprised how low self esteemed Rolex costumers have...it is sad.
