Tough choice to make
Two Omegas, 1861 Speedmaster and a black dial Seamster
Or a Rolex Submariner (41mm) All new from the AD. The Omegas are pretty much the same price as the Rolex due to discounts. Problem is I love the two Omega's and will probably love the Rolex when I get to try it on later this month. What choice would you make? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk |

Sub 100%. The Omegas are nice but in the long run the Sub wins every time.

I own a Sub Date and love it, but might go Omega here. The 2:1 is nice.

Which one you love the most, go for that one.
Go for quality not quantity.

Don't go down that Rabbit hole like everyone else, avoid the common sub.

The omegas for me. Two fantastic watches.
p.s. just so you know, the new speedmaster is imminent. You should get >20% on that. Nearly 20% on SM. |

The Speedmaster is what makes it a tougher choice for me. The Seamaster, although some are incredible, feels like is in a different league than the Sub.
Go with your initial gut feeling

100% the sub. Pick up the Omegas later individually if you still find yourself wanting them, they're much easier to find at a significant discount.

Did someone say common sub? Lol...The Speedmaster is an iconic Omega so always a great choice. The sub is more difficult to come by so get a sub first and an omega in the future...

I’ve been thinking about a Speedmaster. You think 20% off from an AD? I’ve never bought an Omega and no relationship with them generally. Thanks for any input! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Those are nice omegas - I really like the new seamaster.
That being said...get the Rolex. The Omegas are readily available any time (and probably with a discount). The Rolex is, unfortunately, not.

Despite that I also like a lot Omega, those 2 ref are - imo - very uninteresting...Rolex then

Great question. Truly a tough scenario I've also pondered as well.
I went with the Rolex. |

Sub. Why do Omega bracelets always look cheap?

OP, did you notice that this a Rolex forum? So consider the bias. I have a Speedy racing chrono that is a vertical clutch/column wheel/co-axial movement, incredibly accurate and built for the long haul. It doesn’t minimize my love of Rolex, nice to have a variety. I don’t like the He escape wart on the new Seamasters, though. Even Tudor does a better job with that.

1 Rolex Sub in hand is worth 2 Omegas in the bush

Sub. But at the end of the day it’s what speaks to you.

Sub 100% - you will regret getting the Omega in the long run.

I’d pick the sub just because I like the simplicity of it next to the (busier) Omegas. BUT one other thought. To my mind, there’s no point in having two black dial/ black bezel watches. (I mean, if you’ve got a massive collection, why not, but otherwise...) So the two Omegas thing is an easy no for me. But one could justify nabbing one of the Omegas (whichever one you like more) and then parlaying the remaining cash into a different Rolex, perhaps—one that offers a different style (non-diver) and/or some color? Perhaps the Seamaster, with its rubber strap, and then one of the new OPs?
