“Availbility challenge”? I call it disrespect and neglect for consumers. Snobs. Go Omega. Go Seiko. Go IWC. Go Panerai.

I like both brands but I very much prefer Omega. I do really want a 40mm Explorer but other than that I generally prefer Omega’s offerings.

I totally agree….when I tried to but my first Rolex, the lack of availability to actually “purchase” a watch turned me off so much, I went across the way and purchased an Omega. I might be “gifted” a Rolex one day by family…but I will NEVER set foot in another Rolex store. The whole availability concept is a deceptive business model. I’ve heard people discuss how they were told no watches, then receive a call hours later to come back to the store… allowing a retailer to decide who’s worthy enough to wear their watch is absolute BS! Mine wasn’t a call but an email the next day. I simply told them I already found the watch I was looking for and moved on….

Both brands have their good and bad points. I would go for the Omega personally.

I own several Vintage Cartier and Omega watches. When I walked in the Cartier boutique very casually dressed with my old Cartier it was like I was invisible. When I was dressed the same wearing a Rolex Daytona I was greated royally. In the Omega boutique I was treated well wearing my old Omega or my newer Daytona. Pitiful but true

I think the availability and hype issues have really taken the sheen off Rolex over the last few years to the point that even though there are so many grail watches from the brand that I'd love to own someday, I'd rather not have to deal with all the AD and waitlist issues especially when I can get a pretty amazing watch from another brand like Omega, Grand Seiko, Brietling etc. Just not worth the hassle for me. Great video!

First video from your channel I've watched and got to say really loved it. Informative, engaging, great bits of humour weaved throughout, relaxed, non pretentious, slick editing. Wouldn't say I'm necessarily new to watches but definitely a lot to learn still and this was both entertaining and helpful to build my knowledge as I slip further down the rabbit hole of watch enthusiasm. Liked and subscribed. Look forward to the next one. Cheers, Nathaniel.

Great call Britt everything you said couldn’t agree more. Omega is the go to brand especially pricing and movement. Love that most their watches show their open back movements 👍

I am a happy Omega owner, and I’m currently working on purchasing my first Rolex. It is such a love/hate relationship with Rolex trying to acquire their watches - it’s frustrating and really sours the whole experience. But with Omega, they happily sold me a beautiful 60th anniversary Speedmaster with a lovely experience in their boutique. I’ll probably go vintage Rolex because I am so disgusted by their retail experience.

Agreed and I'll add another big reason: size and variety of their collection. You have so many more options with Omega than you do with Rolex, and if you narrow the Rolex and Omega offerings down to what you can actually get in a reasonable amount of time (we'll define that as "oh about a month"), then it gets even worse for Rolex as the only Omega that can't be had in a reasonable amount of time right now is the Silver Snoopy, whereas for Rolex it's a ton of their models.

I completely agree. Omega and Breitling are just crushing it lately. I've seen more and more Omega and Breitling at watch meet-ups and in public in general.

Great clip Britt. I’ve recently picked up a seamaster (2019)on rubber, replacing my BB58. You can get a real bargain under retail now. The quality and finish is leaps above Tudor and right up there with Rolex.

Agree with you with reasons 2 to 5, but i am a bit reserved on reason 1. Yes co-axial is innovative but in terms of timekeeping accuracy my rolex 3135 movement is keeping +0.5 seconds per day while my omega 8800 movement is at +5 seconds per day. I test them dial up overnight after a day of wearing on the wrist. These numbers are consistent over multiple testings. *Of course my sample size is 1 watch each so im sure results would vary*, but on their websites rolex quotes their accuracy at +/-2 seconds per day versus omega's +0-5 seconds per day. So even the companies themselves confirm rolex has the superior accuracy. I guess this only really matters if timekeeping (on a watch😂) is a big deal for you. Just my thoughts. To help your algorhythm😊

I own both. And in my opinion Omega is better in all aspects even if you ignore the price. Rolex makes amazing watches no doubt but it’s become more about the brand being perceived as status symbols amongst non enthusiasts that make them so popular and expensive.

Great vid as always however on the subjects of availability and hype can I point you towards the omega silver snoopy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ and in a lesser way the green smp 300. Both are hyped and not readily available.

Loved the animations 😄 just don't give up your day job ❤️

i didn't used to dislike rolex 15years ago but there are so many flippers and people who don't know watches buying, flipping, wearing rolexes these days, I just don't want to be associated with the brand

It is arguable Omega make better watches from a technical perspective. They do have major design flaws (non tapering bracelets, ugly clasps, etc). The SMs He valve is an eyesore, the skeleton hands can make reading time less optimal and the bezel design is not as easy to operate w wet hands. Rolex make better, more elegantly designed watches.

I have a few watches including Cartier Santos, IWC Ceramic Doppelchronograph, JLC Memovox Tribute to Polaris, etc… and the Omega Seamaster in titanium with brown dial which was my last acquisition. It’s co-axial calibre’s timekeeping performance is so superlative it’s mind blowing 😳 I was contemplating buying the Rolex Yachtmaster in titanium but I am wondering about the 32XX calibres long term reliability given that there are several reports indicating problems…

I recently held in hand an Omega Tourbillion numbered edition and it was stunning. I'm surprised Omega would go through the exercise of making someone at this level but the piece was apparently in high demand. My experience with this level of watchmaking is limited but it was a truly beautiful timepiece. I think Omega flexes with pieces like this to show that it's more for true watch fans than those who want jewelry on this wrist.

Well said Britt! Since Rolex would not sell to me 5 years ago, I have added 4 Omega watches and several other brands to my collection. You brought up 5 great points on why owning an Omega is a better experience. The one point I would add is that Rolex is NOT exclusive! Rolex makes over 1 million watches per year, with more to come on the market via the CPO program. So does a collector want to own a watch that is not rare, and knowing you paid over retail for it?

I’ve been collecting for about 10 years and have loved my older sea masters. Having said that, Omega currently has the same problem as GS used to have 2 years ago- current line up is too big and too thick. GS got the memo and have been releasing tons of smaller, thinner, prettier watches (without dial facing power reserves). Omega on the other hand.. got the memo and threw it out the window and made their watches bigger, thicker and of all things.. harder to get- think Green SMP, snoopy, coloured Aqua Terras, even precious metal soeedmasters.

I have been eye balling the hulk since it debuted but now I’ll never get one. I like the Cermit just as much but again-hard to get. But the watch that I first saw that I fell in love with was the Planet Ocean 2500 Liquid Metal special edition. So PO still has a special place in my heart but I’d like to see a thinner revision, maybe in Omega Steel? I also really like Zenith, Grand Seiko, and a couple others that don’t seem to get as much love. I honestly feel like there are multiple channels on KZfaq that seem to get unreasonably popular and all they talk about is Tudor and Rolex. AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OUT THERE!

my first watch was the white SMP 300 got both bracelet and rubber strap and absolutely love it, it is my everyday watch and looking to get a datejust or aquaterra for a dressier watch in the future

I lean more towards Rolex, but ultimately I'm just a fan of watches in general. I have models from a plethora of brands that I have in my hunt, some are Rolex, I have just added some other brands into my collection and I absolutely love them. I just go after what I like. I think the value retention element of the hobby being made more prominent over the last few years has really soured a lot of it. I understand it, but so many fantastic watches get overlooked because they don't sell for more on the secondary market, Omega gets swept up in that. That being said the modern constellation (not the Globemaster) is godawful and needs a refresh.

I have my late uncles 1969 Omega Geneve Dynamic. That started me with Omega. I now have two Speedmasters and a white Seamaster 300. To me, they are perfectly engineered and (relatively) fantastic value for money. I feel pride whenever I wear any of them, and that’s every day!

Thanks for explaining about the Daniels escapement. I remember hearing about it being invented but did not know Omega were using it. Cheers!

Exactly why I went with Omega, “not the obvious choice”🎉

It was definitely the coaxial and metas certification that I liked. My Railmaster keeps plus 2 seconds a day and was available at a big discount from Jomashop.

I have an excellent relationship with my ad. Bought just about every stainless model rolex offers including a steel Daytona. But the thing that frustrates me the most about rolex is when you try to celebrate an anniversary/promotion on a whim, the ad doesn’t have anything to sell. So you have to wait 3-6 months for the call and by then the excitement of the celebration has come and gone. It’s a big let down for the brand that is supposed to symbolize a milestone.

I enjoyed this post and agreed with your reasons. I love both brands, and for similar reasons to yours'. I recently bought a Speedmaster Moonwatch. A watch I have wanted since I was a kid back in the 70s. I am also on a Rolex "waiting list" with the local AD. Almost 2 years for a GMT II. If they call, I will likely walk away bc the Rolex hype and availability and grey market BS has completely spoiled my desire to own one.

An Aqua Terra with a Speedmaster's bracelet would be *chef's kiss*.

I jumped into the hobby of horology in the last 24 months and after buying about 30 watches with various movement types and designs, and learning everything I could about movements, I finally decided that my grail was to be the Omega Seamaster 300. I called an Omega AD and had it delivered to me in 2 business says. Try doing that with Rolex. So your top 5 reasons why Omega is superior is spot on Britt!

Thanks for making this video, couldn't agree more and thank you for putting the Co - Axial escapement first, in my view it doesn't get enough credit, I've had my Seamaster 300 professional for seven years and it hasn't missed a beat. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely stunning graphics, I´m in awe 🤣 Thank you Britt for making my day!!!! Hope you get well and better every second!

You know my grail watch in the beginning of my journey with watches was either the speedy moonwatch professional with the moonphase at 12 or a special speedy edition (from moon to mars) I remember it was hard for me choosing to get one of them for months and ended up getting the soeedy moonphase and that was on 2006 lol

Why I like OMEGA is for the same reasons as you Britt. I also wanted to add the history as another reason why I prefer OMEGA over Rolex. Don't get me wrong, Rolex has very rich heritage (The Oyster Perpetual movement, one of the first watches to introduce a water resistant case, the date wheel on the Datejust, the Explorer story, the Submariner and Milsub, the GMT Master for Pan Am Airlines, the Milgauss and the James Bond connection). However, I find OMEGA's heritage to be far more impressive (The Marine being one of the earliest concepts of a dive watch, OMEGA's involvement during World War II, the Speedmaster's stories during the Apollo missions, the Milspec Seamaster for the M.O.D. during the 1960s to the 1970s, the James Bond connection, the creation of the Co-Axial escapement, the METAs certification, high horology complications, the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep record, etc.)

I think you have to re-consider number one. The co-axial escapement may be cool, but it cannot be said to be better than Rolex’s mechanisms (or a huge number of other manufacturers). Rolex movements are more accurate and precise, have as good. or better run times, and as good service intervals as Omega’s and from an engineering point of view they fit much better into more wearable watches (Omega’s watches all wear rather thick). But think you left out another reason, the quality and finish of Omega is superior to Rolex, not that Rolex is bad, but Omega is better. They have more complex shapes and more interesting blends of polish and brushing. Omega can brilliantly polish Titanium, which Rolex hasn’t managed to do yet as well as make cases of ceramic. Not sure on number 2 either, given that Omega has sister companies Brueget, Blancpain, and Glashutte Original to help with high horology design and finishing. But at least Omega has high horology items on offer, Rolex doesn’t.

You should make a video about your favorite Tudor watches, btw I bought a BB58 blue same as yours and I LOVE IT ☺️

For me, I grew up in love with the Submariner. I purchased one 3 years ago at the age of 30. I sold it about 6 weeks later and picked up a beautiful MORE HUMBLE, Blue on blue SMP300. I then went on to purchase a Orange bezel, white dial Planet Ocean.... both acquired for slightly less than I sold the Sub. Rolex is phenomenal... but for me, I don't want to draw that much attention to myself. Out of 3 years and many interactions with people while wearing either watch, one two people have spotted that I am wearing an Omega. I like being under the radar with such a beautiful watch brand. I still really like Rolex tho.

Much as I respect Omega's movement tech, it seems to have the side effect of making many of their watches big and thick and that's put me off from many of them. When I first got into this hobby/habit, I salivated over a lot of Omega's catalogue but now that I'm in a position to afford some of them if I budget properly I can't find anything I can justify the money for given it literally won't fit as well as various offerings from Grand Seiko, Cartier, etc. I'm glad they do what they do but I've resigned myself to their offerings being for other people for now.

I cross shopped an OP41 silver and the new AT38 silver and put my name onto the wait list for both and got the call from Rolex first.

Your smile about having done the animations “I did that myself” was so very cute

I really think Rolex still largely has Omega beat on bracelets and clasps, and that imo is a massive oversight by omega for us bracelet people Shout out to the new speedmaster bracelet and especially new clasp though, that's the exception to the rule imo

I don't own a watch from either brand, but if I was going to buy from one of them it would be an Omega. I think the Globemaster is a much nicer watch than anything similar Rolex makes, and the Speedy '57 is a much nicer looking chronograph than the Daytona.

I do find Omega's pricing strategy on some of their models very bizarre. I'm currently researching for a "big birthday" present later in the year. Ultimately I think I want a "luxury GADA" so I've looked at Oyster Perpetual and Aqua Terra.The 34mm AT is vastly more expensive than an equivalent OP (availability issues aside) or even a 31mm Datejust. It's also more expensive than the watch I actually fell in love with at the Omega boutique (the 38mm Speedmaster) and the Seamaster, which both feel like they "should" be more expensive as more technical etc.

I really appreciate your sincerity and brand balance between Omega and Rolex. Wonderful video 👏

My grail watch from 12 yrs old was a Rolex. I finally bought one in 2005, a Black GMT 16710. I was immediately a little disappointed with the bracelet build (cheap) compared to my Tags and the fact that it wasn't actually as accurate as the hype. Also, the lume was not even as good as my Seiko's. In the meantime, my wife bought me a 1950 Bumper Omega and I loved it. Always wanted a newer one. Ended up in hospital for a while and was reading that due to the fact Rolexes had shot up in value people were being mugged all over the place for them. I realised I wasn't wearing the GMT anywhere near as much as I used to so sold it. Put £2k in the savings and bought myself a Planet Ocean the 002 with orange highlights. Could not be happier! So far absolutely astonishingly accurate, better looking and feels much better made. I wear it with pride and admiration.

I love my Seamaster,absolutely stunning watch,beautiful movement

Loved your animations! I support your art and your expression!

This review made me buy the Black 300m… thanks Britt 👍🏻😎

For me, although I own a Rolex, the technology difference between Rolex and Omega is as objective of a reason as you can get to say Omega is better. That said, consumers tend not to buy things like luxury objects logically, as no one needs a $5, 000 and up watch. We buy luxury items emotionally and then rationalize our purchase after the fact. For that reason alone, Rolex will always have the prestige, leaving Omega to play catch up.

Britt! Funny an Omega video comes out, as I have been shopping for one. I agree that for availability, price, and reference choices, Omega is beating the pants off Rolex. Tudor was competing, but now they seem to be copying the Rolex sales model too. When you can walk into a Omega AD and they have 20-30 watches, that you can actually buy, it says alot about the brand. Also the older sword hand Omegas (like the 2254.50) are really in my head now!! Long Live the Cult(s)!!

Thank you Britt for some more great value content, I agree Omega are both fine watches and, in several aspects, as you indicate, many are actually in fact superior to Rolex. It's simply the brilliant way that Rolex have marketed their brand in recent decades compared to Omega; if you then add the grey market hype, that nails their tier position further. A bigger irony for example are Blancpain, many people have no idea who or what they are; superbly discreet timepieces, and only those who know, know, great used value therefore.

Have just returned from Omega Museum Bienne, amazing. Lovely friendly staff, with a shop also. Put it on your list! Love the vid.

I prefer Rolex designs, however i just cant seem to find the right sized Rolex for my wrist (6.25 inch). The 38/39mm area is my sweet spot. Omega have plenty of options in this range and now im a happy owner of a 39.5mm Planet Ocean. Thanks Omega :)

I think there are things that both brands just nail individually. Omega can create beautiful designs around truly technologically advanced movements. Rolex can take one or two designs and change them subtly but in such a way that it causes frenzies in the watch community. I honestly love both brands and find it hard to say one is better than the other when each has great merit.

Solid video. Hit all the points on the topic. Great job Britt.

I have a omega seater 300 That I wear daily but I want a new Rolex airking , on the waiting list since it came out & hoping to get it vey soon , got offered a white dial datejust with baton hands from my ad recently but turned it down as it’s the airking that I like , some hate it but I love it

Very balanced and objective video. I do own watches from both brands. For me, Rolex has perfected overall product design (case/bracelet/dial/dimensions) and luxury brand image so wins on an emotional level in terms of how it makes you feel. With, Omega I appreciate the quality of engineering and value, I think Omega has some great watches that are more obtainable....but you do need to sift through a more unwieldy array of choices to find the real gems. I wish Omega would 1/ focus more on external product design as much as they do on movements, and in particular perfect their bracelets, and 2/ Simplify their ranges and options. I think the two combined would elevate the brand more as currently Omega is competing more with Tudor, than Rolex.

As a professional diver hoping to get my first mechanical dive watch to celebrate a milestone, I really like everything Omega does, but having had my hands on the sea master 300, the action on the bezel just won't do. I really wish they would come out with a new dive watch that has an easier bezel to grip.

I think Rolex are so popular because they just understand how to make a good watch. What I mean is, they're simple, classic designs - ask anyone to draw a picture of a watch and chances are, it'll look like a Rolex. That being said, I'm an Omega fan through and through. Their case designs are more interesting, and elegant (those beautiful lyre lugs), and the movements are, in my opinion, second to none. My only gripe is I just wish they could make them thinner. Another advantage of Omega that you missed is choice. On the flip side, it bloats the catalogue - but what it offers is a multitude of dial, case, strap and complication variants for pretty much each watch. The Seamaster, for example, can be had on rubber strap or steel bracelet; in several different dial colours; as a standard 3 hander or chronograph; as a modern variant, or a retro style (300m or 300); in steel, precious metals, titanium, ceramic, or a combination. That's pretty impressive.

I love Rolex as well, but I just sourced a limited edition liquid metal PO. Although this is an older model, it is simply amazing. I must say I agree with you that their technological advances are great, but their older models are designed better

The answer is yes yes and yes. Omega >

I see a Rolex, I think is it fake? I see an Omega and I think, nice watch. For that reason alone Omega wins hands down.👍

Agree 100%! I have been mistreated by Rolex ADs and even by Rolex boutique so much that i will not out up with that crap. For me… loyalty to a brand comes with the buying experience! Thats why i have 2 Omegas, my wife has Omega and also GS. Here in Tokyo, i get personal experience with human emotions, a cup of tea while shopping at Omega, GS and even Oris boutiques! Rolex makes you wait out the door and then when you get inside there are no watches available, you cannot try the ones they have or there are not functional… then you look at gray market and they are marked up 200% haha! Insane!

Your comment that you just don't think Omega is delivering what their core audience is after is absolutely correct! It is fundamentally the reason why I don't own an Omega. I'm a tool watch guy and usually find that the aesthetics or missing dates puts me off. I like my tools to do work. If I wanted a no date watch, it'd be a dress watch, and I'd look to Cartier for that. Your Seamaster example is own of the few Omega's I'd seriously consider. No sharks teeth and a date! But, otherwise, I've got other watches that do well for less. Tudors, for example. Thanks for a great video!

You nailed it Britt. Omega is the better choice in every measurable parameter but Rolex still is the one. For me personally I love a simple clean design ie Datejust smooth bezel silver dial on a Oyster bracelet vintage please. I love the charm of acrylic and the thinner vintage cheap feeling bracelets and clasp, at about $5000 a relative bargain

I agree, Omega is a good taste.

Great review Gringa - you keep looking more and more strong and your voice is getting back to "pre-accident"!!! You and I are cosmically connected - I actually just found an Omega De Ville Prestige Power Reserve (black dial) at a VERY good price this morning and I have been trying to resist buying another Omega..... Then - I get a sign from the watch Gringa (the true watch Goddess) that it is OK to buy another Omega!!!!!!! Is this fate or what????? Of all the watches I have in my collection - I do have more Omega than any other "top-tier" Brand. And I love my Seamaster that you enjoyed reviewing so much - it really is a beauty and wears so well on my manly sized wrist! So - I agree - as usual with your thoughts on Omega vs. Rolex and may just have to buy "one more" for my collection. The De Ville Prestige seems to be VERY underrated. Take good care Britt - you are really looking great! Hello to my good mate James......... Best long distance wishes form Kansas City!

Awesome video as always. Love the content. Yes Omega is definitely better than Rolex for all the reasons you stated. Weird wardrobe choice but sometimes you gotta be weird sometimes sometimes right 😅

I'm on my second Rolex and really want a third but I'm kind of put off by the brand and the AD/grey market purchasing process. I know Omega is a quality manufacturer, but the style of Rolex watches really appeals to me. For instance, I was in the market for a 40 Datejust. I looked at Omega Aqua Terra and a few others as alternatives, but the style just doesn't appeal to me.

Forget the watches, Rolex packaging annoys me, it’s terrible for the cost. Tradition is no excuse for the shabby green box effort. It’s lazy compared with the highly polished wood and inner material finishes of the Omega brand.

Like you I’m a Rolex guy. I always wanted to consider buying an Omega watch to vary my collection but seem to not be able to find the one that makes me dream like Rolex watches do. The Seamaster has an amazing dial but the crown at 10:00 doesn’t do to me as well as the over sized case. I considered the seamaster aquaterra for awhile but I realized that after all a Rolex Air king or Oyster Perpetual are more charismatic in my opinion

my first watch was an Omega (coupla hundred years ago) so I’ve got a soft spot for the brand, however I really don’t like a date complication and the current Omega catalog just doesn’t offer much that doesn’t come without one.

I think you nailed it. I have had both Rolex and Omega watches and I much prefer Omega. The diversity of the Omega catalogue as contrasted to the more narrow focus of the Rolex catalogue is a clincher for me. My two Omegas have been a Mark II Speedmaster and a Ploprof. My two Rolexes have been an OP Date Just and a Yacht-Master I. I have found a much greater level of engagement with my Omegas. My next Omega grail is the Bullhead Seamaster which is the kind of idiosyncratic reference that does not exist in the Rolex catalogue and never will. The difference between Omega and Rolex is summed up by one fact: Rolex turned away George Daniels, perhaps the greatest horological thinker of the twentieth century, when Daniels approached Rolex with his coaxial escapement. By way of contrast, when George Daniels approached Omega, Omega entered into an agreement with Daniels and brought the coaxial escapement into production.

AGREE! My AD has a high inventory of Omega (was lucky enough to purchase the Seamaster 300 in Seaweed Green). I do own a Datejust II and a Submariner, but those were bought in 2012 and 2017 when they were readily available. Now my AD has to put you on waiting list to even have a chance to buy anything. Rolex will always be king, but if you want a great looking watch with a superior movement and fair pricing, Omega hands down.

I prefer Omega’s prices, looks and technology and although I have just ordered a purple dial OP, this will be the only Rolex I will own, as the others don’t inspire me design wise.

Add to that that Omega has a bigger variety, more creative choices and more limited edition watches that are affordable. I have the Apollo 8 dark side of the moon speed-master and it is simply Amazing.

Omega impresses horophiles, Rolly impresses everyone

Britt, love your videos and your enthusiasm in doing things differently. I don’t mind your home-grown graphics at all. Different and refreshing. Looking forward to your next EOR (end of reel) joke.

I've owned an SMP for a few years now and I love it. Recently got a promotion at work and I thought...yes, now is the time to buy that datejust 41 that I've had my eye on....but the joke was on me. Just as your video explains, I went into an AD just to be told that there were 0 available and they didn't even know when they'd be getting any in. What a disappointment. I had no idea Rolex played these supply limiting games to increase demand. Complete turn off from the brand. I turned right around and purchased a moonwatch. Couldn't be happier. Omega FTW.

Silicon of Omega can't be regulated until they put Spirate in all their movements. Rolex is more accurate. The Omega bracelet is made in China and assembled in Switzerland ( allegedly). Rolex has their own foundry. In the end you'll always want a Rolex, although Omega has lots of desirable models.

Meh I'd still take a Rolex over an Omega anyday

Nice Video with very Real Reasons!!!! I have owned more than 350 watches from different brands, all of them Chronographs including Omega and Rolex, but my preferred brand is Omega for all the same reasons you stated here but will add Real History with the Space Missions, and the Olympic Games, not artificial hype like the Rolex. All the fame that Rolex has is mostly due to many stars and common events had used it, like Paul Newman and the tennis circuit, and that's it, oh, and Rolex has the best Marketing of any industry. And at this moment, the watch I am wearing is a Co-Axial Speedmaster Chronometer that is working within 0-2 seconds per day according to my Witschi tester for 17 years now and no maintenance service yet. I get my watches for use, not to show up once in a while.

You mentioned the escapement upgrade but not the silicon parts in the Omega for being way more anti magnetic than even the Millegauss.

Well done on the creativity! You look to be a feeling a little better. Indont know about better but equal for sure

Ummm it's debatable if it's better then Tudor (spoiler warning: it's not). Let's not even go into Rolex territory.

I think we all have to move on from the Omega vs Rolex BS now. They play at different ends of the sandbox and are going after different things. A better comparison is Omega vs Tudor, thats a more realistic comparison.

My buddy graduated from pharma school last semester and around November we went to a Rolex AD and they just flat out were rude the entire time. I told him to wait, he did and dove into more research. He ended up snagging a Aqua terra for a good price and had enough to get an entry GS! He’s super happy and killing it at his entry job!

I've been Omega all my life. Both my parents had one each and I have my dad's old 1968 Geneve, sadly I have lost my mum's Omega. I don't even know what it was, all I remember is it was smallish and gold. And from the late 60s. I recently bought myself a Moonwatch, it's my daily watch and I bought it for reaching a milestone in my financial life. When I look at it, it reminds me of what I have achieved and also it reminds me not to be stupid and to keep moving forward. I love Omega, it's a brand that I feel I have grown up with thanks to my parents' watches. But all respect to Rolex too.

I see a 5 reasons Rolex is better than Omega video coming out next 👀

Rolex tapers too much - it drives me nuts

Good thoughts. Omega Omega Omega. How many different models of the speedmaster do they have ? Too many to count. Have you seriously checked out some of the new Rolex movements (might be worth a look). Omega more available, also equals poor second hand resale. I recently sold a Rolex and got back more than I paid for it, most Omega's will lose 50% - and that is when you will wish your owned a Rolex.

I liked the movement technical parts

Doesn’t matter if omega is horologically 100x better than Rolex and offers a better price, as long as Rolex is the more “recognized brand”, Rolex fanboys/girls are still willing to pay way above msrp for the watch 😂

Both brands have good and bad points. My gripes with omega are fleecing people for overpriced bond watches, playing the same scarcity game as Rolex with on demand models and the ridiculous situation with the moonswatch. They make amazing movements but I don’t consider them a luxury brand. Like many my first proper watch was the omega

My Rolex AD has read my mind and I received 'the call' this week. From now on, if I do continue along this watch collecting road - It will have to be one in and one out - quite frankly, I have no need of a power reserve at all!

I love your videos. You wearing a Speedy?👏🇦🇺

Why not just talk about the virtues of Omega without having to compare to Rolex? Can’t Omega just stand on its own merits or are they just a Rolex alternative?
