Rolex was started by a business man, a really good one. He contracted watchmakers to build a product that was "good enough", but never haute horology, as that made no sense for ROI. His DNA continued on through the brand, and as a result, Rolex's most significant achievements have been not in watchmaking, but in marketing. Rolex invented the first celebrity endorsement. Rolex invented the strategy that by giving away its watches to professionals who would go on to achieve firsts in diving or mountain climbing expeditions, the lay person will feel that the watch...had something to do with it. And just as often true today as it was back in the 70s, it was Rolex's brilliant marketing and curation of its product catalog that have propelled the brand past its peers. Its watches, however, have remained dormant in horological impact for over half a century. This is, word for word, how Rolex chooses to introduce itself on its own website: "For over a century, Rolex watches have accompanied explorers and achievers around the world, from the top of the highest mountains to the deepest reaches of the ocean. Today, Rolex is present at the most prestigious events in golf, sailing, tennis, motor sport, and at equestrian tournaments."

[@zzeuss87]

This comment is astute and factual. In my experience, it has no business being on a YT comment board. Just having fun, but your views are spot on. Hans was ahead of the curve with connecting his brand with celebrity. Sure seems to have worked out well for him.

Rolex is the Apple of watch making.

[@zzeuss87]

SU You couldn't be more wrong. I bet Rolex lasts as long as apple, with tech that changes slowly. Apple must always release new versions annually, which demands progress. Rumors of their demise have been absurdly exagerrated, but I remember Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson. History repeats. I'm sure both will do well for years, but my money is on Rolex outliving apple.

[@kevinduncan9686]

Yeah Rolex made all the right moves during and after the quartz crisis so they came out on top. Omega had a good 20 even 30 years of producing some if the worst watches from any serious swiss brand their only saving grace was continuously producing the speedmaster during those dark years, but aside from Rolex making all the right moves and becoming the status symbol watch and continually making amazing watches. Omega produced a better watch until the end of the 1960s and now they produce a better watch again especially when you factor price. Rolex has the end in some ways but Omega has the better engine inside and it costs less. I love both brands but I also like an underdog and omega has been the underdog for a long time until now.

Beautiful watch you've featured here. I think Omega is doing more interesting things in watchmaking (co-axial movement, use of ceramics, amagnetic parts, etc). I like Rolex, but lately they've taken some missteps- the ridiculous styling of their new Air King dial is horrible, and the Oyster Perpetual line has added faddish dial colors. Technologically, Rolex is reliable, but has not been particularly groundbreaking since introducing the Oyster case.... what? like 65 years ago? Like many others on this comment board, I think Grand Seiko is the brand to watch; an up and comer which will challenge Rolex.

[@tods.9947]

A brilliant video again. And as an Omega enthusiast I appreciate the lesson. But a couple of facts were missed. The board of longitude were looking for a navigation solution, not really a clock (although Harrison’s was the best solution to the problem). Harrison did get paid by the Longitude board, at least most of the prize after much hair pulling and help from his son. Finally Seiko was not unknown in the late 1960’s, far from it. They had been making “Chrono” grade movements for several years. But that was the first time they entered that competition.

Never had a Rolex, but I own five Omega's of different ages, movements and styles, and they all run beautifully. Even when having not run for some time (though I do try and keep some energy in their respective springs most of the time). In my opinion, they're say more stylish than Rolex's, and, arguably, more functional/practical - generally speaking. Understated in their appearance. Not showy. And besides, they're just cooler looking anyway; worn by cooler people... 😎 (I might be an exception to that rule though! Ha!) I love each of my Omega's for different reasons. All of them have stories and memories. They're worth way more to me - _two in particular: a 1970 Seamaster, and a 1968 Speedmaster_ - than their financial value. Those two would be the first things I'd grab if my house was burning down. (I don't have kids!)

[@edwardpetersii6276]

The only thing I know is there is more Rolex watches out there that are second-hand than Omegas. That tells me one thing: Buyer’s remorse. People get so ecstatic and worked up when buying a Rolex. They feel like they’re buying into something, much greater than it actually is. When reality sets in, they see it’s only a watch and who knows how accurate it keeps time, how much to maintain, repair, etc. After the mystique wears off, you’re faced with what you actually bought and you had better love it. You shouldn’t have purchased something for investment purposes or because people told you that you should! The bottom line is, what you like is what should matter to you! I only know that I am going to get my money’s worth when I buy something. Therefore, I have to really like/desire it and what I get in return needs to positively correlate or measure up to the hard-earned money I put up for it! With that being said, Rolex is a nice looking watch but never appealed to me! I was always curious about all the excitement and fuss surrounding Rolex watches. It seemed like a ‘status’ symbol, rather than a useful, purely functioning device! I’ve seen many adorned with diamonds, other jewels, fancy dials, etc. many famous people have also made a point of wearing them, publicly. I get it, it’s a popular watch. I like Omega. Period. I could’ve bought a few Rolex watches, years ago but I never had the desire. I just bought my second Omega and I’m happy! This is what counts! I had a car one time and it was brand new. I loved it, it was sporty/luxurious and mine! I listened to people who told me I should get another type of car and I foolishly spent lots of money and ended up getting rid of it, anyway because I realized that wasn’t what I wanted!Go with what appeals to you. Forget the crowd. They won’t be wearing, enjoying or not, nor paying for it! You will! So get what you want! Both Omega and Rolex carry historical caches. However, both are different and unique in their own ways. You have to try them both on and see what’s best for you! The best advice I could give is this! You may try the Rolex on and it may be a dream come true or you may try and Omega and find you cannot be without it. You may want, both! That’s okay. The best of both worlds! Then, you won’t have to wonder! You’ll know!

I was deciding between an Omega Seamaster Aquaterra and a Rolex Datejust. Honestly the Omega was just much more appealing to me with movement and aesthetic. The datejust just didn’t do it for me.

[@markalexander774]

Rolex is the Apple of the watch world. There is much better out there and you can get one with the same specs for cheaper from other brands, but they have managed to convince a large percentage of people, particularly outside of the the aficionados, that they are the pinnacle of high end. In that respect, Rolex is certainly better at business than Omega.

[@jmiquelmb]

Except than Apple is often top quality and reliability. Lately they've been fucking up hard with their laptops, but that doesn't change the fact that historically their products tend to be longer lasting than competition.

[@dickiewongtk]

I heard that the tourbillon is of little value to the accuracy of a wrist watch because the thing is not stationary. It is now more a statement of craftmanship than anything. Is that true?

[@1Eagler]

It’s true. Tourbillion was made for pocket watches that stand vertical in their pocket.

[@oneashralph4076]

Rolex is like buying house.It about resell value.Omega like buying exotic car.It about enjoy driving it & also has good resell value

My father gave me in Costa Rica a Constellation Omega watch in gold and steel. In the logo on the face it only says Omega_ automatic_ and chronometer, but no say officially certified. At the bottom it has a star and his name Constellation.On the back cover it has Gold logo with 8 stars and this cover is threaded. I took it out of my closet and it works excellent and very accurate. It has a 561 caliber, BUT I would like to know what year is it ? Thank you for the answer !

Omega is superior to Rolex. jmo Especially this stunning Omega!

[@midas1929]

In 1994 I worked for SMH. I remember when the chairman took it off his wrist and showed it to me in his office one evening. The pride and the happiness in his eyes explaining the watch. Those who know appreciate this marvel. As for an inside view on competitive brands, we always highly respected Rolex, but we had full admiration and passion for Patek Philippe.

[@rickj8859]

Omega and indeed Longines, have lot longer history, than Rolex and both brands, unlike Rolex, have actually made their own movements, whilst Rolex till 2004, had their watches made by Aegler. That said, Rolex spends on advertising more, that the entire Swatch group and Richemont group together.

How do people think Omega compare with JLC? Are they of a similar level in terms of finishing, innovation and engineering precision? Rolex do the basic things extremely well - reliability, accuracy, wrist comfort etc but Omega and JLC seem more interesting as brands.

[@ES-tr5no]

jacc88888 a Rolex accuracy and reliability over Omega? I and members of my family and friends have and do own both brands, Omega beats Rolex time and time again in its accuracy and it’s reliability. My experience with Rolex has not been a good one at all. As far as wrist comfort and aesthetics, that’s completely subjective.

[@motiur9786]

Yeah that what I did. I put myself on a waiting list for the GMT masters 2 and seadweller but till this very day haven't had a call. I ended up learning and reading about watches so much that it's become an addiction. But that is a great thing as I found something new I enjoy. I ended up getting a pelagos LHD. Because it was easily available to buy compare to the Rolex I mentioned. But I know a few other people too just like me made alternative choice as they got fed up waiting. Not economically a good decision if you buy from grey market on premium. For my lhd I couldn't get discount because at the time it was hard to find but now I see them in shop windows.

An excellent video covering some of the "forgotten" horological history, kudos for mentioning the Seiko demolishing the Swiss. The competitions are back again, but with the competitors being limited to Switzerland and the fact they simply canceled the last one when Seiko was winning gives the competition no credibility of any sort. In other words, it is a JOKE

@@jamalmahroof3298 Bro what you said made you look like a twat. From your comment it looks like you only worry about the $price and not the design. You don't buy an Omega just because to sell it at a higher price afterwards like a Rolex. You buy it because it's a better watch. People who appreciate the design and engineering put into a watch would buy an Omega over a Rolex any day. You don't lose money when you buy an Omega, you get an Omega for what you paid for. Some Omegas do appreciate in price too but you wouldn't buy it for that reason. If you're looking for a watch to sell at a higher price after a few years to get some more money, then yea go for the Rolex.
