Personally, I love both Rolex and the Omega, but if I had to choose between the two, I pick the omega. The omega has more features, updated looks, no extra fee for different colors, and easier and more adjustable bracelet, and half the price of the Rolex. I would still love to get a Rolex Submariner, and hope to get one in future. Having said that the Seamaster is my preferred choice for now Edit fixed bad typos
I live in New York and Miami I wear all my Rolex everywhere, people think is fake anyways since in Dominican young and dress like a bum 🤷🏽♂️, I do feel more comfortable in Miami since I cary my firearms on me. It’s a shame some people can’t enjoy their pieces in fear of getting mugged, but that’s the times we’re living in.
I have the Sub date and SMP white dial on bracelet. Great watches and great value (at AD pricing for the Rolex). I only wear durable watches that fit my lifestyle and activities. I've surfed/skied/biked/hiked with both. Rock solid. I find the Rolex a little more comfortable. Feels silky. When prices went up, the SMP saw more water time. I don't seem to care anymore. Both perform and look great irrespective of the occasion or attire. 🤙
I love my sub. Do you have an AD that could get you one? I could probably help with that, but unfortunately it would be a bit of a commute when the Watch comes in! 🤙🤙
Just wanted to thank you for your honest review about the Zealande strap. You covered all of the points which I was most concerned about vs some of the other reviews which stated the strap was equivalent to the factory omega strap (which I had found hard to believe). I bought the watch on steel which I quite enjoy but wanted a rubber option. At this point I'm probably leaning towards an omega strap from the AD. Really liking the videos, have a good one.
Hey man, thank you! I would go OEM on that for sure. I think the people that praise Zealande are the ones who bought the Watch on a bracelet and really don’t have anything to compare it to. And if they do have the Omega strap, I’m willing to bet Zealande gave them the strap for free, so they have to do a good review. 🤙🤙
I have a Zealande and an OEM. Is the Zealande as good as the OEM?, no it isn't, but it Is pretty much half the price of the OEM and is definitely the best fitting aftermarket strap for one that fits close to the case. The quality of the rubber is pretty much as good as the OEM overall, the OEM is marginally thicker than the Zealande, so does feel a little more robust. The 2 negatives of the Zealande are: - Loose keeper moves around sometimes, had they made this fixed like the OEM, it would be that little bit more premium feeling. - Fits flush to the case but is ever so slightly to high, which makes it a little more difficult to turn the bezel compared to the OEM. The 2 deciding factors that make the OEM better imo.
“Worry about getting Jacked while wearing a Rolex” Well that thought doesn’t even come to mind here in Singapore 🇸🇬.. Thanks for the enjoyable review ..
I got the white/black omega in the bracelet last year... Two weeks ago I had the chance to get the Sea Dweller in my hands but I found no justification to buy it since I already have the seamaster... so I passed and I got the Explorer instead (36mm) which I really enjoy ...
Thanks for your insights, Tony! I’ve had my Speedmaster for a year and would love to get a Sub, but I’m coming to terms with the fact that I probably won’t ever be able to justify the cost. Starting to look hard at a white dial Seamaster. Looks like I can get one used around $4,000 or so.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony that was my original plan-but with teenagers, and a wife, and a goal of a bigger house in the next few years, I just can’t swing it. Thinking maybe I’ll get a used Seamaster and if I’m ever ready to go for a Sub I can sell the Seamaster to help fund it. Or my son says he’ll buy me a Sub when he’s rich!
Thanks man. I didn’t record this in my studio. I just pressed record on my phone and made it up on the spot. Plus, I haven’t sang in over a year. I appreciate it! 🤙🤙
Everything about the video is a given as far as how awesome both of these watches are and how incredibly honest this man is. It is always a joy to watch him. He is just a regular guy just like all of us who is passionate about his watches. Having said that, the one thing that jumps out of this video is how "sh...." the Zealande strap is. So freaking funny.
I have the 300, I bought it on bracelet and hardly ever wear it so a couple day's ago ordered a rubber strap. I hope it gets more wrist time on the rubber if not I might as well sell it , but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Cool new intro- Cost aside, if someone was giving me one or the other I’d pick the Rolex strictly based on looks and lineage. But Omega certainly makes movements that are world class. It’s just a visual thing for me.
The fact that the Omega is being compared to a watch that costs almost double speaks volumes for the quality of the Omega. I’ve seen it being called the sub killer, which I know is hyperbole but does underline the quality of Omega now.
“It’s a Rolex man” sums it up. The Rolex isn’t technically superior, but it wears the crown in the dive watch segment. More or less the same since inception, makes me think of the Porsche 911. The Omega is doing something new, but they really need to improve the bezel its near unusable.
I'd bet my last dollar that the Omega Seamaster movement is just as good if not better than any Rolex Submariner movement at a way better price point. Who wants to bet me?
Love your videos and appreciate the time you take to share your watches and views. Try to get a camera with higher resolution or less blurry and get the watches on focus so we can appreciate the beautiful details. In this video you were more in focus than the watches. Don’t mean to come across as rude or anything, just sharing my opinion. Thanks again.
Hey just found your channel. From another CA resident, enjoyed the video. I have the smp in both white and black and tempomat rubber straps are worth checking out for some fun options. I haven't tried zealande but have the oem rubber. Tempo comes in around $85 and although it took a couple weeks to get to CA I've been impressed so far. Cheers from the Central Coast!
I occasionally regret trading in my Seamaster for my Seadweller just because I keep it in the safe only really wear it at special occasions, it's a shame because I love Rolex
I'm with you, Tony--I like both Rolex and Omega. Definitely tip the scales in Rolex's direction but that Omega looks badass on that white band. I was going to write that before this video that it really pops on the white strap. And best part--no freakin' APs lol 🤙
Awesome review, thanks for sharing. Great to see someone level enough to be able to look past the silly tribal brand allegiances and who can enjoy the best of both. Curious if as a fellow lefty you’ve been at all annoyed by the position of the helium escape valve on the Seamaster digging into your wrist or hand? I love thinking about it as a daily driver, just curious of the comfort (I’d also go w rubber strap). Thanks Tony.
I really think that the difference between Rolex and Omega is not that big ... some voices are saying that Omega 300m is a better watch compared spec and spec with Rolex Sub ... I think that just the brand recognition is in favor of Rolex...Omega movement seems to be better
Thanks! I don’t have the Pelagos. Nice watch, but too similar to my sub. I would get one if I didn’t have the Rolex. But then again, you never know. I’ll check them out in person. 🤙🤙
Take a large room of people (Rolex and Omega lovers), throw up a photo of the Seamaster, then, mentions the words “helium Escape Valve”. Then stand back as the fighting begins! Kind of like Minion fight scene in the Despicable Me movie where they’re yelling, “Fight, fight, fight…”. I digress! I love my Rolex and Omegas. Speaking of Juan, it’s still killing me I had to pass on the 2-tone Explorer :’(!!
Lol, yes! Minions! The Explorer was really nice. Sorry you had to pass on it. It’s nice that he still texts me to let me know when he has a Rolex that just came in. Glad he mentioned you and stated he knows you want stainless steel, but the 2 tone was available. 🤙🤙
Juan is awesome! I’m just happy he still remembers me:). I’m really looking forward to the Steel Explorer, but not in any rush. I wore my OO today for an errand in Palm Springs. The sunshine really brings that dial to life (any weather, really). I just love my OP!
Nice review✌️ Have you had a chance to compare the Zealande strap to a Rubber B? Got the SMP Seaweed back in October… well am I impressed..? F to the yep I am. I’ll be continuing my Omega journey for sure. Rolex pros for me is mainly the bracelet. It’s much better than the Omega bracelet. Yes the bezel is easier to turn on Rolex, but I don’t think the finish as such is better than on the Omega. I like the dial better on the SMP but wouldn’t have mind the HEV being more discreet. Case and 3136 movement… Omega is beating Rolex on both. I can’t believe how smooth the Omega winds. Feel like something much more exquisite. The transition between brushed and polish is top notch on the SMP. I have both Omega and Rolex, so I’m not a brand fan by any means.
I haven’t compared the Rubber B. I refuse to purchase any of those overpriced aftermarket rubber straps anymore. Glad you love your SMP. Where your watches in good health!! 🤙🤙
Hate comes from ignorance, doesn't matter if it's sports teams, vehicle manufactures, race, religion, nationality or watches, hate never leads to good outcomes.
For me owning omega smp 300 for few months and went to try on Rolex sub at the AD, I’m going to say Rolex is better although I can’t buy them it’s just more comfortable and more desirable
You got a better color for that omega strap? White strap is really killing the contrast and making the seamaster look cheap! Next to sub... white dial and white strap looks so wrong, man. Looks all faded out and lost that attractiveness of contrast
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony - if it was full steel would you have still turned it down? I asked my AD where I got my DJ41 a couple of months ago and they said they don’t know when the other watches I’m on the list for will come (Submariner and Explorer), so just have to wait and hope for the best. I do think I would prefer the Submariner no date as you have over the sub but have to see how it all pans out 🤞
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony - I know what you mean. Do you think it would be best for me to turn it down as not fully into the Explorer either? I think if I get it then they would have to give me the submariner quite a bit later as they can’t sell too many steel sports in a short period of time, so I guess turning it down in favour of the submariner may be the best way to go…but who knows. Are you just waiting for the DJ41 now?
@@rezar6894 hey man, if you really want the sub I would wait for that. I think if you turned down the Explorer it wouldn’t do any harm. But it’s up to you. I got the DJ41 in February. I’ve been waiting for an OP. 🤙🤙
Don't be hating on Zealande! They make great traps, at a fraction of the cost that other brands have. Also the fact that most likely Alex signed your card personally gives it even more charm. I have a white strap from them that I have taken care of with acetone free nailpolish remover for 2 years now and it looks sparkling white and new. So the price vs benefit is unbeatable! also i dont want to hate but the tudor is 3.5k and the omega is 5.1k so for sure the omega is better. now between the rolex and the omega, it is up to you and i think all opinions are subjective :P great intro thought! :D
Glad you like your Zealande. Do you have an OEM rubber strap as well to compare it to? Either way if you like it, that’s all that matters. An price doesn’t conclude that any one Watch is better than the other. I appreciate your comment. 🤙🤙
Rolex is a double edged sword in that regard. We're drawn to the brand but there's a stigma to wearing one. I've have a dj, a sub, and a yachmaster. They're more like trophies to me than watches. But on the other hand, I wear Omegas daily. Omega feels more at home on wrist without all the negative stigma
Omega is a great Everday watch and for me it was the best choice over the Rolex being its ability to not be affected by this highly utilized electronic world we live in and work in. the accuracy of both watches is great being they are mechanical. I hate that you have to be afraid to wear your Rolex being you work hard for your pleasures of having a Rolex. I could not own something I couldn't completely enjoy. I know people that have Rolex say the same you say about fear of wearing. Because of the Rolex hype that media and the very wealthy put Rolex as a privilege only the wealthy can have, and the waiting list and higher price tag makes it a target for Criminals. Looking at Omega, the watches are equal quality. spec wise. Ball Watch even use the same Steel as Rolex. and Ball watches constantly get slept on.
Don't even have to watch the video I am shure it is great :-) Omega is in my eyes the winner. However all is a matter of personal preference and taste. If you like a Rolex go for Rolex if you like Omega go with Omega simple as that. I am simply sick of those comparison videos Rolex vs Omega. Have a great night/day
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony now i did watch your video. Nothing new as I expected. However you should mention that your Omega mas a 15000 gauss magnetic resistance. That is the strength of a MRI machine. Rolex has let's just say nothing close to that. The bracelet is uncomfortable? You must be the first. But ok everyone is different. The Omega had a sapphire back etc... Regarding your conclusion and I am not surprised here. Rolex is technologically inferior to Omega in every way. So you rather own a watch thet you will never wear out on the open?
What an exceptionally biased review! (Before you make the statement, I own both models). It was clear from the beginning where you were going as to the watch you were wearing was the sub.. But hey, your channel and I am sure you think you are being fair. PS. All divers have copied Blancpain. The true iconic diver!
Yeah dude! Love that intro man!! It’s so Tony 😎😝 I think both are really cool. I’m gonna get so much shit for this but I feel that a number of “omega lovers” hate Rolex because they can’t afford or get them…but that’s just me. Some may think Rolex is a poser watch and don’t like it because of that..and it kinda has become a poser watch for many…but that goes for soo many watches now. Again, I think both are awesome watches within their own right. If I could only have one, the sub hands down. Wear them in good health my friend! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I used to firmly believe I’d never own a Rolex, because they’re so flashy (I thought). Tony’s sub ND made me rethink. Then I saw the OP silver dial with yellow gold markers. Hands down love at first sight. I own that watch now. Now I want an explorer (steel). I’ve come to really appreciate and love Rolex:-).
@@mettagirl1 Awesome watch! I have the OP with blue dial and I absolutely love the simplicity and perfect balance of it. I have the explorer II, I bought this as a walk in at an AD…like that doesn’t happen anymore. I’m on the list for explorer which I think is an amazing watch!! I absolutely love Rolex, I don’t like the hype around it..
Okay, Rolex guy! It’s so funny, all kidding aside! You hold two Rolex bags up, show several Rolex watches, state that the Omega is your ‘everyday’ watch and then say you like the Rolex! Man up, then and wear your Rolex, everyday! I sure it! So many ‘lock’ up their Rolex watches and wear something else! Not me, man! I would wear whatever I want, anywhere I want and I live in NYC! I held and tried on, the Sea Dweller and the Submariner and could have bought the Sea Dweller from an AD, this past Christmas. However, I thought about it, carefully! Yes, the Sub is nice on the wrist but so is the Seamaster and the Seamaster’s bracelet is actually nicer and higher quality! My opinion! Bug also, I find that many Rolex enthusiasts can be subjective. It’s the most ‘iconic’ watch of all time, the bezel is better, easier and smoother, etcetera, etcetera! The bottom line is that you should wear what you like, as you said and you broke your first rule because you’re ‘NOT’ wearing, everyday what you like! I happen to like the Seamaster better, true but you don’t deserve that Seamaster! That would be like me keeping my ‘favorite’ jacket in the closet because I don’t want to get it ‘scuffed’ up or damaged and instead, wearing a ‘less’ desirable one! You can see it on your face as you even go to describe the Seamaster! Sell the Omega and wear your Rolex! Be happy, man!
I actually do wear my Rolex everyday. I also wear my seamaster. It depends where I’m going and what will suit for that day. However, I often wear several watches throughout the day. I don’t deserve a SMP? 😂😂
Good job Tony I’m still on nights and I’m rocking the submariner date. I don’t have the new seamaster but I have the older 41 blue ceramic and it’s a sweet watch but not better than the new submariner date 41mm. Rolex has the hands down much better bracelet. Have a good night.
But what do you mean by "better" watch, really, because Omega SMP is technically and quite literally a better watch than any Rolex aside from the "branding" and "marketing" of it.
I think Rolex makes a fine product, but their business model requires prospective owners to engage in essentially drug dealing, and I have no time or interest in that. In the last two years, I’ve bought a SMP300 black dial and a 3861 Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich and I feel everything from the purchase experience to some of the design elements are superior. Thanks, Rolex!
The Sub’s the boss. The Seamaster the apprentice. :-) Actually I like them both, but the Sub takes it for me on all counts. Design, no HEV, bracelet & glide clasp, hands, dial, value retention etc etc. ps. I own both Rolex & Omega (3861 Speedy) so am not overly brand biased. Cheers 🍻
Hi Tony, another very watchable video. I really do not agree that it’s at all equal between Omega and Rolex angry comments on RUclips though. Omega FanBoys are Rabid lol. They talk utter nonsense and jump in to every Rolex video to spout there deluded obsessive thoughts.
Have the Omega Seamaster but prefer my Selko LX titanium spring drive just so completely accurate. As for the Rolex don't want a watch where someone is going to stab you for it it's not worth the hassle Anyway great video
Tony I think the 300m is a beautiful watch. And i plan on adding one to my collection at some point. But we both agreed in the past. I just Absolutely love my Rolex Sub 114060 no date. Fit , Comfort, Style, And Rolex Legacy !! Cool new Intro !!!! Doug

You got a better color for that omega strap? White strap is really killing the contrast and making the seamaster look cheap! Next to sub... white dial and white strap looks so wrong, man. Looks all faded out and lost that attractiveness of contrast
I sold the watch a couple years ago, so no need for another strap. 😂
Catchy intro. I like it.
Thanks! 🤙🤙
Let’s go!

Nice review Tony. Is it good news from your AD…in that your DJ41 has arrived?
Agh, no it was an Explorer 1 2 tone. I didn’t want that one. 🤙🤙
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony - if it was full steel would you have still turned it down? I asked my AD where I got my DJ41 a couple of months ago and they said they don’t know when the other watches I’m on the list for will come (Submariner and Explorer), so just have to wait and hope for the best. I do think I would prefer the Submariner no date as you have over the sub but have to see how it all pans out 🤞
@@rezar6894 if it was steel I would turn it down, but would tell my sister she should get it. She loves the Explorer.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony - I know what you mean. Do you think it would be best for me to turn it down as not fully into the Explorer either? I think if I get it then they would have to give me the submariner quite a bit later as they can’t sell too many steel sports in a short period of time, so I guess turning it down in favour of the submariner may be the best way to go…but who knows. Are you just waiting for the DJ41 now?
@@rezar6894 hey man, if you really want the sub I would wait for that. I think if you turned down the Explorer it wouldn’t do any harm. But it’s up to you.
I got the DJ41 in February. I’ve been waiting for an OP. 🤙🤙
Don't be hating on Zealande! They make great traps, at a fraction of the cost that other brands have. Also the fact that most likely Alex signed your card personally gives it even more charm. I have a white strap from them that I have taken care of with acetone free nailpolish remover for 2 years now and it looks sparkling white and new. So the price vs benefit is unbeatable! also i dont want to hate but the tudor is 3.5k and the omega is 5.1k so for sure the omega is better. now between the rolex and the omega, it is up to you and i think all opinions are subjective :P great intro thought! :D
Glad you like your Zealande. Do you have an OEM rubber strap as well to compare it to? Either way if you like it, that’s all that matters. An price doesn’t conclude that any one Watch is better than the other. I appreciate your comment. 🤙🤙
Great review! Love my Omega 300. Also, looking at Rolex.
🤙🤙
I love your review. So true about Rolex and Omega, and know what you mean with carrying a Rolex in certain areas. I love both watches!
Thank you man! 🤙🤙
Why Rolex does not have a see thru case back? What are they hiding?
Spiders. They’re hiding spiders.
Rolex is a double edged sword in that regard. We're drawn to the brand but there's a stigma to wearing one. I've have a dj, a sub, and a yachmaster. They're more like trophies to me than watches. But on the other hand, I wear Omegas daily. Omega feels more at home on wrist without all the negative stigma
Wear what you love! 🤙🤙
Amazing video sir, im getting the same omega white!!
Awesome! So glad you steered me away from the blue!! Although, I like the green! 🤙🤙
Way better intro 👊🏾💯
🤙🤙
Omega is a great Everday watch and for me it was the best choice over the Rolex being its ability to not be affected by this highly utilized electronic world we live in and work in. the accuracy of both watches is great being they are mechanical. I hate that you have to be afraid to wear your Rolex being you work hard for your pleasures of having a Rolex. I could not own something I couldn't completely enjoy. I know people that have Rolex say the same you say about fear of wearing. Because of the Rolex hype that media and the very wealthy put Rolex as a privilege only the wealthy can have, and the waiting list and higher price tag makes it a target for Criminals. Looking at Omega, the watches are equal quality. spec wise. Ball Watch even use the same Steel as Rolex. and Ball watches constantly get slept on.
Thanks for your comment. 😊🤙🤙
Don't even have to watch the video I am shure it is great :-) Omega is in my eyes the winner. However all is a matter of personal preference and taste. If you like a Rolex go for Rolex if you like Omega go with Omega simple as that. I am simply sick of those comparison videos Rolex vs Omega. Have a great night/day
If you’re sick of these types of videos maybe you shouldn’t comment on something you haven’t watched.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony now i did watch your video. Nothing new as I expected. However you should mention that your Omega mas a 15000 gauss magnetic resistance. That is the strength of a MRI machine. Rolex has let's just say nothing close to that. The bracelet is uncomfortable? You must be the first. But ok everyone is different.
The Omega had a sapphire back etc... Regarding your conclusion and I am not surprised here. Rolex is technologically inferior to Omega in every way. So you rather own a watch thet you will never wear out on the open?
@@Kostja81 just your opinion. I wear my Rolex out. I wore it today running errands. Either way. Thanks for watching.
Oh yeah.... Keep up keepin' it real.... Ty.
Thanks! 🤙🤙
But is it twice good as the Omega?
It’s all relative to your budget. I think overall the Omega is great value for the money. I think it’s worth more than the sticker price for sure.
What an exceptionally biased review! (Before you make the statement, I own both models). It was clear from the beginning where you were going as to the watch you were wearing was the sub.. But hey, your channel and I am sure you think you are being fair.
PS. All divers have copied Blancpain. The true iconic diver!
😂
Love the intro 🤣
Thanks! 🤙🤙
Yeah dude! Love that intro man!! It’s so Tony 😎😝 I think both are really cool. I’m gonna get so much shit for this but I feel that a number of “omega lovers” hate Rolex because they can’t afford or get them…but that’s just me. Some may think Rolex is a poser watch and don’t like it because of that..and it kinda has become a poser watch for many…but that goes for soo many watches now. Again, I think both are awesome watches within their own right. If I could only have one, the sub hands down. Wear them in good health my friend! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I agree! Glad you like the new intro! 🤙🤙
I used to firmly believe I’d never own a Rolex, because they’re so flashy (I thought). Tony’s sub ND made me rethink. Then I saw the OP silver dial with yellow gold markers. Hands down love at first sight. I own that watch now. Now I want an explorer (steel). I’ve come to really appreciate and love Rolex:-).
@@mettagirl1 that’s awesome! Hopefully the Explorer will come in soon! 🤙🤙
@@mettagirl1 Awesome watch! I have the OP with blue dial and I absolutely love the simplicity and perfect balance of it. I have the explorer II, I bought this as a walk in at an AD…like that doesn’t happen anymore. I’m on the list for explorer which I think is an amazing watch!! I absolutely love Rolex, I don’t like the hype around it..
Okay, Rolex guy! It’s so funny, all kidding aside! You hold two Rolex bags up, show several Rolex watches, state that the Omega is your ‘everyday’ watch and then say you like the Rolex! Man up, then and wear your Rolex, everyday! I sure it! So many ‘lock’ up their Rolex watches and wear something else! Not me, man! I would wear whatever I want, anywhere I want and I live in NYC! I held and tried on, the Sea Dweller and the Submariner and could have bought the Sea Dweller from an AD, this past Christmas. However, I thought about it, carefully! Yes, the Sub is nice on the wrist but so is the Seamaster and the Seamaster’s bracelet is actually nicer and higher quality! My opinion! Bug also, I find that many Rolex enthusiasts can be subjective. It’s the most ‘iconic’ watch of all time, the bezel is better, easier and smoother, etcetera, etcetera! The bottom line is that you should wear what you like, as you said and you broke your first rule because you’re ‘NOT’ wearing, everyday what you like! I happen to like the Seamaster better, true but you don’t deserve that Seamaster! That would be like me keeping my ‘favorite’ jacket in the closet because I don’t want to get it ‘scuffed’ up or damaged and instead, wearing a ‘less’ desirable one! You can see it on your face as you even go to describe the Seamaster! Sell the Omega and wear your Rolex! Be happy, man!
I actually do wear my Rolex everyday. I also wear my seamaster. It depends where I’m going and what will suit for that day. However, I often wear several watches throughout the day. I don’t deserve a SMP? 😂😂
Hey buddy I love the Rolex !! The best watch!!!!!😎😎😎
Thank you🤙🤙
Great video Tony. Thank you
Thank you! 🤙🤙
Omega are a lot better than Rolex …..full Stop 🛑 price , availability, wearability , innovation , Man on the Moon ~. Need I go on!! I could 😊
😂🤙
Good job Tony
I’m still on nights and I’m rocking the submariner date. I don’t have the new seamaster but I have the older 41 blue ceramic and it’s a sweet watch but not better than the new submariner date 41mm. Rolex has the hands down much better bracelet. Have a good night.
Thanks man! 🤙🤙
But what do you mean by "better" watch, really, because Omega SMP is technically and quite literally a better watch than any Rolex aside from the "branding" and "marketing" of it.
🤙🤙
nice review. Why is the Zelande shitty?
Thanks. I did a review on the Zealande strap a few months ago. 🤙🤙
I think Rolex makes a fine product, but their business model requires prospective owners to engage in essentially drug dealing, and I have no time or interest in that. In the last two years, I’ve bought a SMP300 black dial and a 3861 Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich and I feel everything from the purchase experience to some of the design elements are superior. Thanks, Rolex!
😂😂😂😂
The Sub’s the boss. The Seamaster the apprentice. :-) Actually I like them both, but the Sub takes it for me on all counts. Design, no HEV, bracelet & glide clasp, hands, dial, value retention etc etc. ps. I own both Rolex & Omega (3861 Speedy) so am not overly brand biased. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for your comment! 🤙🤙
sub=most iconic boring watch of all time...SMP all day every day for me!
Ok
Hi Tony, another very watchable video.
I really do not agree that it’s at all equal between Omega and Rolex angry comments on RUclips though.
Omega FanBoys are Rabid lol.
They talk utter nonsense and jump in to every Rolex video to spout there deluded obsessive thoughts.
That seems legit!! 😂 thanks!🤙🤙
Mega
🤙🤙
Have the Omega Seamaster but prefer my Selko LX titanium spring drive just so completely accurate.
As for the Rolex don't want a watch where someone is going to stab you for it it's not worth the hassle
Anyway great video
Awesome! Wear what makes you feel comfortable! Thanks. 🤙🤙
hai looks better did you get a hair cut?
Yes, I did. Thanks! 🤙🤙
Love you love those two Tony.
SMP 300 looks so much better off the terrible bracelet.
Could do with a deployant clasp though 😉
Agreed! 🤙🤙
Tony
I think the 300m is a beautiful watch. And i plan on adding one to my collection at some point.
But we both agreed in the past. I just Absolutely love my Rolex Sub 114060 no date.
Fit , Comfort, Style, And Rolex Legacy !! Cool new Intro !!!!
Doug
Thanks man! 🤙🤙
No match sub can take down SMaster
Agreed!
Butt hurt 😂
🤙🤙
