Save your money. I wore a Rolex submariner for about six years in the late 2000s because I was in my 20s and thought I was the shit, but that watch couldn’t keep if it’s life depended on it. It was always running slow and every swinging dick that tried to look cool like me had one. Finally, I sold it I did not wear a luxury watch for many years in fact I just wore a Casio G-Shock but when the 43.5 mm Omega Planet Ocean came out I had to have it! It has been my daily wear watch for almost 7 years now and I could never see me wearing anything else. Best part no one has ever asked me if it’s real and it’s never lost time. Typically I’m gaining around two seconds a day which is amazing.

With a disgusted look, walked out immediately, Went straight to Omega, was treated like a valued customer, and purchased 2 timepieces.

[@jaybleu6169]

I love their design and manufacturing. Hate their sales and service operations. There are plenty of vintage Rolex watches out there. The great thing about Rolex having such conservative design sensibilities is that one of their watches from 30 or more years ago looks almost exactly like one they made yesterday. You can own a Rolex without having to deal with the modern sales operation at all.

[@2536528]

As a reformed Rolex kinda fanboy, lets be honest Omega is every bit the quality of watch as Rolex. Decades of advertising have created a Rolex perception that jacks up the price. They are great watches, but if you think a Datejust is a better watch than an Aqua Terra for example, you just don't understand.

[@2536528]

On a related note, I am wearing a $3,000 Seiko diver right now, depth rating aside is every bit as good as my Sea-Dweller that I wore daily for several years. I used to be a diver watch depth snob, now I have matured into, 200 meters is all I care about. I do agree with one of the comments below about clickbait titles on KZbin like "Rolex Killer" or "Submariner" killer. Some of those watches may actually be better or just as good as Rolex from an objective standpoint, but they will not beat the Rolex marketing machine that is many decades in the making.

[@thorodinson376]

​@Tobester_McDonkey I've used plenty of bezels from both. In a daily wear setting the SMP is just as good as a sub as far as tightness and click. In water the grip of the sub is better yes but 99.9% of people don't use these for diving.

I used to be a depth snob as well. Bought a Sinn, bought a Subby, got the Tuna. Eventually filled my DW5600 with oil and have used it as my back-up for close on 16 years of my 24 years as a commercial diver. The others now stay nice and clean resting on cushions filled with rose petals.

[@WatchMeBURNFuel]

I love my Omega. Was going to purchase a Rolex before looking at Omegas, but then realized, Rolex won't sell me a watch because I'm not an important person. I gave up on Rolex (boycotting) because of their business practices, bought myself an Omega, and will never look back. I highly suggest anyone deciding between the two, to go with the Omega. Edit: The only thing I'm not a fan of that Omega did was do a collaboration with Swatch. Those moon watches are absolutely terrible and so cheap. The marketing was done really well for them but wow, they are some cheap kids watches that sell for $200+. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for one of those lol.

I prefer omega not because of any paper spec or a more varied catalog. I prefer omega because they don’t ask me to wait in line outside the door of an empty store (and the one time they did that, there was no one else in the line). Visiting a Rolex AD is like going to a snotty restaurant that serves bad food just because the maitre D is rude to customers and you want to impress your chums with your ability to get into the joint.

[@MrPleers]

Agreed. Having to jump through hoops just for the favour of allowing you to hand over 10 grand for a watch is rediculous. At other brands (Omega or Cartier) they actually make you feel like a guest when you visit their shop.

[@Nickgantz12]

One of the problems with Omega is their resale values. If you buy an Omega new from a boutique and resell it a year later, you’re going to lose money on pretty much every single watch. Rolex doesn’t have that issue. With that said, you also can’t walk in and buy a Rolex.

I have a modest 5 watch collection - Grand Seiko 25th Anniversary Limited Edition 9S, Omega DeVille quartz, TAG Aquaracer for everyday, Citizen EcoDrive chrono for work/play, a private label Swiss quartz built by my local jeweler (it’s got a beautiful two tone dual-clasp bracelet that is fantastic), and an inexpensive 1990’s vintage Bulova extra-thin stainless/gold plate dress watch my employer gave me for 5 yrs of service. My next/dream watch - Omega Seamaster, JLC Reverso (or about any JLC actually), a GS Spring Drive…. I could not be less interested in a Rolex at 1/2 or even 1/3 the price. I’d rather find a nice looking vintage Longines for a fraction of the cost.

A good overview of Omega over Rolex, I don't believe the quality of Omega is over Rolex. When you put the two side by side there is a clear quality build difference. Totally on the button with pricing though Rolex is an investment watch and people with more money than sense are keeping the Rolex prices high for paying way over the retail price, I do believe this is partly to blame with Rolex not selling their watches to people who genuinely want to own a Rolex and enjoy wearing it. Omega are currently discounting some of their range at AD's here in the UK but this is the AD's stock so they can offer discounts to move stock that is not selling. I don't see the point of Rolex AD's and boutique's when you can't buy one. All very frustrating but a good topic for discussion. This is only my opinion and it's not meant to cause any discomfort for Omega or Rolex fan's. Keep the content coming.

To be honest, there’s only a couple of models from each that interest me. I do like that Omega are going hard with the coaxial escapement though, which is clearly an improved design and will require less maintenance over time. I will be picking up a new Rolex with the 32xx movement and the “Chronergy” escapement in the next couple of months, and I plan on taking measurements once a week with a timegrapher, as I don’t fully trust Rolex’s new escapement design as of yet, with a decent number of reports of low amplitude over time, resulting in loss of accuracy. I suspect this may be down to issues of lubrication of the escapement, something that isn’t anywhere near as much of an issue with the coaxial design.

[@Horology_Horsepower]

Oh no you can't say you would take anything over a Rolex man the fanboys will be beyond triggered lol

[@thetimeteller]

@fj7509 I own 5 Rolex and have sold even more. Please explain how this video is an attempt at devaluing Rolex?

[@thetimeteller]

Yes, that’s the title of the video, good job, now answer the question- how is that an attempt to DEVALUE Rolex as a brand?

[@samon_kurowassan]

⁠@@thetimetellerYou just called everyone who chose Rolex over Omega an IDIOT, all caps. Brand valuation is based on the companies earning power, by telling people to buy Omega instead, you’re attempting to lower their sales that would in turn, lower their brand value. So there you go, you’re devaluing Rolex. Even on the theoretical side of valuation, by hypothesizing that Rolex buyers are idiots who are making a mistake, you’re questioning the intrinsic value of the Rolex brand. I have an MBA mate, try me 😉 You’re on the internet, lots of intelligent people here. The only reason you’re telling people to buy Omega is because you could surely sell your Rolex inventory 😂 Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. You’re saying that everyone who bought Rolex from you instead of Omega is an IDIOT?

[@samon_kurowassan]

@@thetimeteller Bro, it’s okay to like Omega, it’s okay to like Rolex, don’t call people who choose Rolex over Omega IDIOTS. Because Rolex fans aren’t calling people who chose a Speedy over a Rolex idiots. Stop the hate. It’s so unprofessional to call your customers, Rolex buyers, IDIOTS. And even if you make excuses, the mere fact that you use the word IDIOTS, all caps even, is unprofessional itself. You’re desperate for views. You could have said “Why you’re making a mistake if you chose Rolex over Omega.”

[@thetimeteller]

@@samon_kurowassan oh no, an MBA degree! I’m quaking in my boots. Your credentials neither impress me, nor intimidate me. I do *not* have an MBA and by most metrics, I have a larger, more pronounced, more consistent track record when it comes to producing results in the business sector. Congrats on your piece of paper though.

[@RenoLaringo]

If there's only one watch I would NEVER wear, it would be a Rolex. It's such a ridiculously pretentious brand. If you are really into watches and technology, at least, show some education in the watchmaking business and buy something worth interest, buy something special, not ''a place in a club''. People complain other brands don't hold their value as a Rolex does. They don't love (nor know much about) watches imo. For those who think a watch is a mean for speculation, I have just one thing to say: buy some gold instead. Those guys should stop pretending they are a watch enthusiast just because they put 20.000$ in a Rolex. Personnaly, with the same money, I would go home with a Seamaster AND a GS Springdrive ANY time over a Rolex, no matter what value it might hold for a potential inheritor. Rolex simply does not deserve the (aging) hype. That's why they need all the drama. Sorry for you Rolex guys.

[@A_Brion]

Omega was my first love and I own both Speedmaster and Seamaster but Rolex just looks and feels next level. Money and AD games not being an issue Rolex are just better watches, sorry.

[@IllusiveMan51]

2021 I had a choice. Rolex Sky Dweller blue dial oyster bracelet or Omega Worldtimer. Went with Omega, no regrets

[@iggysfriend4431]

You are spot on about Omega/Rolex availability and being actually able to buy one. A couple of years ago I was in the market for a GMT watch. I was kind of torn between a Rolex GMT Master II and a Omega Planet Ocean GMT. I contacted Rolex via the website and ended up with a reply saying I had to contact an AD and they could arrange a meeting where basically they would interview me and if I was suitable I would be allowed to join the waiting list. I got bored with the whole thing and went to my local Omega store. I walked in bought the Omega, had the bracelet resized for me and walked out with a brand new shiny Omega Planet Ocean GMT and a bank balance that was a lot lighter.

[@RadwaTimpa]

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@NaVirazhah]

Argument that “you can buy Omega, but you can’t buy cool Rolex” is exactly the reason why everyone should buy Rolex. I can speak about myself. I prefer to buy and wear something exclusive rather than mass market, including Omega, which you can easily buy in any airport Duty Free over the world.

[@warriorskravmaga6199]

Great point.

[@ianwoollard2063]

I got a Planet Ocean last year it’s the best watch I’ve ever owned.

[@7.92Gav]

What I don't get is that people say Rolex is better because of brand recognition and value retention. That speaks volumes as they are buying an expensive watch, hoping that people notice it/the brand, and they obviously can't afford to take any hit on it's value. Stop being sheep and don't break the golden rule - buy what you like, not others, whatever the brand may be. There are lots of better watches and better value watches out there for the taking.

[@KarolaSteigler]

Outstanding video.I have to go with the amzwatch, especially with that green dial as my favorite

[@youtubeuser8436]

100% agree! Omega over Rolex all day!

[@zRain_]

Really depends on an AD. Walked in a Rolex boutique in Madrid and the AD lady was very sweet, ready to sell me an explorer and a couple of other Rolex watches that exact day with no waiting, I just refused because I had already planned to buy myself a datejust. Yes, I love both brands.

[@MarkMphonoman]

Tired of the Rolex game and I refuse to pay gray market prices. Period.

[@PETERBARTLEY]

Excellent points Seriously considering buying a railmaster now!

[@Valera_Scotland]

Omega prices getting silly, but bargains still to be had if you go for models from early to mid 2000s. My old Seamaster 2541.80 cost under £2000, and first generation Aqua terra was £2700... there is lots out there, just can't really justify today's prices... but yes, love omega

[@johnnie5442]

I got my first Seamaster (circa early 2000 or late '90s, like James Bond wore at the time) for $1500 lightly used in excellent condition n. Has been sitting, mostly, for the past 10 years or so. Needs to be serviced probably, but looks great though.

[@vincentcascino]

Unfortunately I have the problem of being a watch guy, and soundly, an securely middle class. Through judicious purchasing (waiting for sales, used market etc.) I have a decent watch collection, which includes 2 Omegas. A Speedy Racing, and a Railmaster. If I could afford a Rolex I'm not sure I would buy one. From what I understand they treat 99% of their clientele like S#1t. I also own an Oris, A Hamilton, A Zodiac, A Tissot, A Tag, and 2 vintage Zeniths, and I just got a Seiko Prospex style 60's GMT(so far awesome). Not bad, for not rich!

[@NavyCoyner]

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

[@jb6027]

I was ready to call BS on your video, but you're absolutely correct.

[@olekmehera7256]

Im with you about availability i fell in love with the planet ocean, walked past a boutique went in and and i bought it right there n then

[@zkramez]

I’ll be honest… I own both. I enjoy both equally. However my Seamaster has been through literally hell and still runs at +- 1 second per day. I would wear that watch into war over a Rolex any day of the week. Period. In June of 2023 I was hit by a van while crossing the street. The watch hit the hood of the van very hard and then proceeded to drag 15 feet on pure concrete. The watch is in a lot better shape than I am 😂

[@Rosendick]

Dude, trying to sustain your theory is like me trying to state that Grand Seiko quality is evidently over Omega, plus farther than Rolex. I feel you, but face it, people buy Rolex by the name and prestige, not for the quality.

[@jaredraitzyk5487]

I think the driving force with Rolex is simply brand recognition. For some people, simply being able to say “I own a Rolex” is a feature. I have a buddy who wants a batgirl bad, and I said to him, what if there was a watch with identical specs for 3 grand but it didn’t say Rolex, which one would you get, and guess what he picked…

[@HiroYukimura07]

I didn't go to Omega cause got kicked out from Rolex, i go to Omega directly without a second thought and came out with SMP 007 60th Anniversary as my first luxury watch.

[@flubdreload2818]

I think Rolex just looks classier than a lot of watches from Omega. In my opinion, nothing beats the current model Rolex Sky King. The yellow crown and green text looks beautiful especially with the green second hand contrasting the dial.

[@yvelf]

agreed with what you said. but....Ive got the Milgauss...and its just a thing of beauty. the railmaster on paper (specs) is a much better watch (as most Omegas are when compared to Rolex)...but the looks of the railmaster are poor at best. Milgauss is the winner here

[@haroldwiser2641]

I agree, no interest in a Rolex and I own an Omega.

[@davidr2802]

I have both and I like them both. Saying its a binary choice is simply clickbait and it works every time.

[@timothyfoley3000]

Rolex! The Harley Davidson of the watch world...

[@leung9401]

Best analogy ever.

[@Claude1100]

Yes Gutless, poor performance, poor handling.. heavy as heavy gets , really expensive to buy and maintain , but .. well known and looks cool... Perfect analogy indeed.

[@Toobenator]

This is like watching those gangsters in Donnie Brasco argue about whether Cadillac or Lincoln is better. 😂

[@gavinwhite9743]

I think Rolex wins in the land of non watch enthusiasts. Ask anybody on the street to name a posh watch, they name Rolex. ( Holy Trinity would not be recognised) Omega and bond connection is raising awareness amongst non watch enthusiasts. I love both of my Omegas, but with list price and actual price of Rolex converging, on all but a few models, they start to look OKish again. You see so many Rolexlistings in secondary, you gotta think prices will keep falling, as watches are not moving.

[@adrianrichards73]

I already had an omega aqua terra with the 8900 movement (steel on steels) but could not resist the speed master with the 3861 movement (steel on leather). Totally captivated by both watches. I enquired about the Rolex explorer at my local AD and was given a 12 month wait time - might be dead by then so Rolex can forget it! I buy watches to wear and enjoy not to wait years for so Rolex can forget about my custom

[@volpiguitar]

I had them. Rolex, Omega, Cartier. I'm 48 now and super happy with my Certina Titanium Diver. At the end of the day they only tell the time. Cheers from Switzerland, Victor

[@christopherchalk3420]

I'd buy a used Omega over a used Rolex anytime. Great value if you shop around

[@adrianhargreaves2854]

And yet Rolex still blows them away on sales

[@fredsanke4070]

Jealous? Or just insecure...marketing is perception...omega is just inferior in their advertising.. I own both brands...but i have more confidence in wearing rolex.😊

[@5265vic]

I was going to buy a submariner, but I didn’t know if it looked right. So I bought a used Omega Seamaster, and that led me to buy a speed master and I want more OMEGAS

[@WorldandWatches]

And again… The Name „Milgauss“ is a relict from the past, the first model… It‘s way way more antimagnetic. Just the antimagnetic Hairspring should pump the Watch up to 15k Gauss.

[@joseesteves1309]

Loved your video BTW... spot on

[@RadoDani]

The only Rolex I was interested in was Cellini Prince. (I like rectangular watches.) And that’s gone.

[@jafarijackson5865]

I recently became the owner of a Rolex Datejust 41 . I went to the Rolex AD hoping to at least make a payment and get an invoice. I felt as if the AD wouldn’t even acknowledge me so I purchased on the secondary market. If Rolex calls I’ll pick up the OP I asked for , the AD wouldn’t even entertain my request for a blue dial . I looked into Omega and really like their catalog . Within a year if I don’t hear back from the Rolex AD , I go down to Omega and look at a Speedmaster .

[@steveo85]

For my associates that are into attention over watches, I recommend Rolex. Both are great watchmakers, but more common and better recognition among outsiders. Also, decent fake Rolexes are a great choice to payoff escorts in Colombia.

[@milosradivojevic5887]

Fully agree! Rolex is a good investment but Omega is better and more modern option... Rolex is "my old man watch"... not for me esthetically

[@chrislye8912]

When I retired from the army in 2013 I treated myself to a blue ceramic SMP 300, I love my watch and honestly wouldn’t want anything else.. omega is a far better aging watch compared to Rolex.

[@motouno3778]

Well I'd definitely agree Omega over Rolex for sure you are not getting 2 or 3 times the quality for 2 or 3 times the price . I'm wearing my Dads 1953 Seamaster that he gave to me in 1973 , I wore it every day for the next 15 years & then once a week in rotation as my collection grew . It's never been serviced & still keeps great time . Cheers

[@joep5146]

The only way to feel worse is to purchase an Omega when you could have owned a Breitling. I'm just saying.
