Best comment ever

Hahaha genius!

the only reason bond wears an omega now is because it's paid sponsorship, Ian Flemming has bond wearing a Rolex in his books.

@@Alexander_MD maybe, but when Fleming was writing Rolex were tool watches so it made sense. Nowadays, Rolex are luxury watches so it doesn't fit so well anymore.

@@Alexander_MD Fleminh chose Rolex for 007 because they were reasonably expensive but not completely unobtainable like they are today. In 1954 A brand new Rolex submariner cost about $150, or $1700 in today’s money. In 2022 you’re starting price for a Rolex submariner is $9000 and it’s nearly impossible to get on in a reasonable amount of time unless you buy second hand. Omega is about half the price, has more features and you can find one very easily

Everyone else is right. If it was written today he would wear an Omega. It fits his character well.

lol u talking about it's in line with his character... but the creator literally said his character wears a Rolex

Keyword : constantly

I don't know, sure it may be a response to the Speedmaster, but the Daytona has that unique Rolex flair to it

@@EthanRom and so does omegas in general. they look like omegas. i think that his point was that they all look similar

@@AlvinDema I think u could easily mistake an omega diver for a rolex sub, but then again this is a thing most diver's watches face

@@EthanRom yea maybe if ur far away but as u said. goes for em all

Not to mention Omega uses a completely unique movement.

Just another case of a KZfaqr being a Rolex fan boy. Yawn

Indeed! And what is Rolex known for again? The businessman who made a his first big salary, walks into the shop and shouts "I want to buy a Rolex!" He does not care what model, movement or history, just a Rolex as expensive as he can afford. Because that is what Rolex is all about to this day, unfortunately. I have tried too many times asking a random guy in a suit, about his nice Rolex, and he can only say (brag) how much money he spend on it.

@@NisseROCKZ some people like Rolex for being nice watches and don't care about it being a prestige brand, but those people are usually true watch enthusiasts and we make up like. 01% of those who buy watches. Plenty of Rolex owners DO fall under the category you mention. One time I saw a guy wearing a white DJ41, I said nice datejust and he said its a Rolex. I was like, oooookay....

​@@jimlittle5769 Insert awkward boy gif xD

but in the books he wears a Rolex

@@jojotwice8918 Sorry but the real one wore an Omega (his name is Popov, Dusko Popov) when deserving his Iron Cross and Order of the British Empire

This^

I mean seamaster 200 is heavily Rolex inspired, and an argument could be made that most divers that doesn't look like blancpain or skin divers are probably inspired by the original sub. But we can also say that Rolex daytona is copying the on the bezel tachymeter that speedmaster started, and 'cosmograph' is pretty on the nose for the speedmaster copy attempt. So call it even?

I suppose you have an Omega. BTW, Rolex is far superior to Omega. By miles

@@isluderea8322 how could u say that rolex is superior than omega???? U don t have value for money overpriced watches no research no heritage no history. Try to find a complicated watch in rolex s history u won t find anything!!! Omega made some caliber that are history!!! Have u ever heard about 321?? Omega>>> rolex Rolex is only an investment! No one that has a rolex knows its movement!!!!

That's when I stopped watching that video...

He actually doesn’t seem to know a damn thing about James Bond

@@ronpruitt3832 doesn't know much about watches either... Guess money doesn't buy you taste

@@Bobb1to he is loud, obnoxious, and seems to have no class. If I wasn’t a big James Bond fan and having that in the title caught my eye, I would have never wasted my time watching this. I won’t be watching anymore of his videos. There are plenty of guys on the internet that are very knowledgeable about watches and conduct themselves with class for me to watch.

@@ronpruitt3832 great that I came to the comments before watching. Btw. Why does he call himself ‘watch expert’ in every video? Is this kind of a joke or he really..

Truth

^This. The nato is Bond heritage not Rolex heritage. So the use of the nato was perfectly fitting. Also the irony of Nico claiming Omega copies everything Rolex does while wearing the 'on the bezel tachymeter' 'cosmograph'... That's literally Rolex copying the Omega speedmaster.

so that's why the nato band width is not fitting in the scene

It's not a NATO, it's a regimental strap. NATO's weren't invented until 1973, only in Admiralty Grey. It was used with both the Omega 300 and the Rolex 5517. The strap on the Rolex 6538 was probably used because it was supposedly Cubby Broccoli's personal watch with a leather strap and they needed something water proof. So no, the NATO isn't Omega's heritage, it's military. Bond in the novels wore a Rolex Explorer, most likely reference 6150. Flemming had this watch as his personal. Omega in Bond is purely product placement.

@@Madmanmarque Lol no one said it was Omega’s heritage, it was put on the modern Omega to hark back to when it was used on the Rolex.

He can’t resell omega for profit, he’s a watch dealer after all

In conclusion, you actually like Rolex but you cant buy one, so you buy Omega instead because it looks similar and cheaper

I actually think the omega seamaster 300 is one of the coolest watch ever.

@@r.sakarollsafe1285 Rolex will always have a place in a dream collection, but I got a warmer welcome walking into a Patek boutique as a 25 something guy, then walking into Rolex.

@@derekbrettell8121 most of these watch dudes who are also dealers act like this it’s really no surprise. He’s pushing the most popular brands because he’s trying to make money.

I was about to mention that before I read your comment. This Nico bloke only likes Rolex's cause he can flog em off for 4x the RRP, so he needs to ride the Rolex Cock Carousel.

In my experience Rolexes are built slightly better, feel better, and probably to a slightly higher standard, but none of that comes into play as far as watch functionality. I love both brands. Watches have already been god enough for like 50 years, LOL! I'm very into Omega, these days. Rolex is boring and I don't like the attention you get.

@@ams914 thats placebo man nothing else.... just like you said, it just "feels" because you are holding more expensive watch... there is like gazillion studies on this.... Omega shits on Rolex regarding quality just like Grand Seiko which Nico hates....

@@Zoltan1251 When I said "feel," I didn't mean emotional. I think they are built slightly better with tighter tolerances. I still love Omega.

@@ams914 i will respectfully have to disagree... not a chance in heaven it has tighter tolerances... im willing to bet my kidney... tech used in both is top of the line... thousands of times reviewed under microscope.... hundreds of watchmakers say they are on par in quality

@@Zoltan1251 it's not placebo dude. Anyone whose held both in the flesh will tell you a submariner is better. It's obvious which is better when you mess around with them. The only people who say otherwise are youtubers looking for likes from contrarians like yourself, and yet those same youtubers always spend their own money on rolex and not omega.

thats because he sells watches under pride and pinion, thus by hyping up alrd hyped up watches he can sell them for high prices while omega does nt retain value as well as a rolex

Thats the biggest issue for me. Rolex makes beautiful timepieces, no doubt, but they've turned me off from their brand. I literally feel like they don't want anyone to buy their watches, so why the hell should I try? You go into a Rolex AD, their shelves are empty, for fucks sake its a watch company, do you want people to buy them or not? I don't know, just a frustrating experience as a consumer.

Didn't you mean to say: "I drove up in a Porsche and walked into a Rolex AD who told me that was the 32nd Porsche he had seen today and oh, no black submariner for you mister name dropper."

@@nagzavelli okay, will do.

Mmm I saw nico's vid about his history back then, i dont think its all about being watch seller. I think its his own opinion, thats my thought :)

Completely agree! I have both brands as well but Omega is a tad more special to me. I always say that Omega dropped the ball with marketing in the 80’s. If they had done it better, they would be more recognized as a top quality watch brand today.

Let's be real, Omega paid them. Still, I love it.

@@ams914 they did, but I would say Omega is also a better fit. OMEGA seems way more on the bleeding edge than Rolex lol

LOL, these days Bond wears Omega so he get paid enough to add more Rolex into his collection.

@@CrankingAllDay I agree that Omega is definitely a better fit today. In the early Bond films, Rolex made sense. Seeing Bond where a shiny Submariner I think would make much less sense. A Daytona? Forget about it. That's more fit for the villain.

The funny part of your dumb comment is almost anytime you see daniel craig in public in a situation not relating to james bond he's always wearing a rolex. Not even a guy that gets paid to wear omega wants to wear omega. 😂

loweky yeah

@@a_Swizzzz Archieluxury is unintentionally hilarious tbh

I must whole heartedly agree

@@a_Swizzzz archie does it as a joke tho, this guy is just sad.

He is not a watch expert at all. Just a clown paid by Rolex

I prefer 100x times Omega over Rolex but despite being a "younger" brand what they brought to tool and dive watches is superior. They basically popularized the first proper automatic and waterproof wrist watches. They are the Fender for electric guitars and basses, simple and practical approach, overpriced and hyped today but with the most inconic designs and first popular products of the field.

lol you said it, longer history than Rolex and yet they were struggling to survive in the past and forced into becoming subsidiary of Swatch. That explains a lot. They released a half hearted design by putting a watch into another water resistance case in 1932, to me that design was sorta a mockery to Rolex from Omega as a giant watch marker at the time, belittling Rolex’s effort to create a watch that works in water. Fast forward to modern day, Omega is struggling to overtake Rolex in the industry, karma is indeed a B.

@@simonrano8072 yea i just bought my first omega 2 days ago. love it. but actually not too sure if i want to buy a rolex tbh. i’d rather go with something like a VC JLC or something of that nature

@@AlvinDema nice, basically turning down a grey market Rolex sport watch allows you to get an Omega sport watch and a dressed JLC on the side 😁 can't go wrong

Ever heard of the Rolex Submariner 5517?

Rolex and Omega both has British Navy connection actually. Omega was there first with their seamaster(that looks very close to planet ocean), Rolex took over with their mil sub, and then I believe CWC took over from there.

@@thedinkmeister748 yes but it doesn't predate the Seamaster, Nico here seems to think Rolex is King which.... Eh

@@jaskey Yes but Bond isn't known for the Mil Sub, he's known for the Seamaster

@@coconutpolygon by the same logic the speedmaster was just worn by some pilot idk trying to justify why one watch is better than the other is kinda stupid to me

@@maxmoller Sony ericsson vivaz pro, came out in 2010….

Bond wore a Rolex back in the day because it was the "everyperson's luxury", or the premium tool watch of the time. These days, Rolex has moved upmarket (and their quality is also higher, admittedly) and Omega fits that role more. In the modern day, it makes more sense for Bond to wear Omega.

@@freedmfe8934 I'm not even a Rolex fan, I own zero and I own one Omega, and that's just not true. Rolex has tighter accuracy window, makes thinner watches even with movements with higher beat rates and power reserves, way better bracelets, precious metal usage even on their SS watches, better unisex sizing options, and 100m chronographs that aren't sized super large (like the Seamaster Chrono). Master Chronometer is the one thing it has over Rolex, but it's fancy marketing terminology for something Rolex is already doing like 90% of anyway.

@@freedmfe8934 don't say completely and utterly untrue and then the first thing you mention is wrong. Co-axial's biggest strength is supposed to be its long service intervals, but even with that boost Omega's service interval is (don't get me wrong, an impressive) 8 years. Rolex's is 10. The accuracy is worse--Omega's rating is 0 to +5, a 5 second window. Rolex's is -2 to +2, a 4 second window. Same quality of case is dependent on what you're looking for--316L is harder but 904L has a brighter luster and is more corrosion resistant. Dial quality is debatable--ceramic with laser etching is great but Rolex lacquer is really nice and rich, even on their plain black dials (I've compared it to my Omega with a black dial, it's night and day). Bezel is just untrue--Omega is ceramic with enamel lettering, Rolex is ceramic with platinum lettering. Bracelets are not close--Rolex bracelets are proportioned at the lugs better (they get the 2 to 1 ratio better which results in a less wobbly wear), they're better finished on all components, and they more consistently come from quick adjustment systems across the models. Design being associated with those groups is subjective. And I already said I'm not a Rolex fanboy. I own a Speedy Pro and zero Rolexes, and my favorite brands are Cartier and Grand Seiko. No Rolex fanboyism here.

@@freedmfe8934 You are aware that I'm literally quoting the numbers on Omega's website, right?

@@freedmfe8934 if you're so confident about that, cite some numbers instead of just repeating the same buzz words. Otherwise, you're just saying the equivalent to "no u". Otherwise, not worth discussing. Have a good day, friend.

and lets be honest, the only, real, reason there is a waiting list at all is so that they can inflate the prices and the brand name.

I dont think he is an expert, he is a salesman and is being used by his team on YT because of his personality

Rolex double lock clasp is way better though.

@@singaporewatchcollector6262 I'm wearing my Rolex Submariner today, and I agree with you... but also disagree with you. I prefer the Rolex clasp size, and do love the feel of closing the clasp - the action is just so crisp. However the Omega has a better system for micro adjustments. The glide lock from Rolex is great, but you have to take the watch off your wrist and use two hands to adjust. The omega is simple to do with one hand, and you don't even have to remove the watch from your wrist. Much faster, and safer to do on the fly without risk of dropping the watch.

YEEEES

I think that's the trade off for remembering obscure reference numbers.

They haven't. Thats a ridiculous statement made by my man Nico.

This is my plan and hopefully the price drops abit

@@diavalus when I first saw the price I thought I’d it worth being that much more then the normal one but I love it

Look up in grey market, you might find something lesser than the MSRP, or when the new Bond watch is out again along with another new 007 movie.

It actually looks so good, the bracelet is killer

I work at an Omega AD and there isn’t a waiting list for one, have a look around.

Yeah, same. I think it looks really cool tbh
