in general
people who know watches buy Omega or Rolex. People who want people to be impressed with them buy a Rolex and talk about how superior Rolex is to anything, when really, it isn't (but is none the less a great watch with a long history). So, really, buy what makes you happy. Hang the ambassadors I own both and love them both for various reasons. Every time I take off my GMT and wear my Connie, I always think "Now why don't I wear this more often?" and I can never recall. |

In my opinion, Rolex is superior in nearly every way.

I thought the touch pads were just for the cameras, and what really happened was the swimmers were timed by an official with a Speedmaster :) |

Great point of view, I really like Omega, I have my grandfather’s old watch. I am currently looking for a new watch and I’m torn between a speed master, a Daytona, or a GMT from either camp. Just to be fair F1 racing is all Rolex and to be honest, it’s all about money and advertising, not so much the quality of the watch timing… it’s all computers behind the scenes, no?

Both brands have really their respective merits and as much as Omega lost itself for a few decades, I think that they are back on track.
I will always be a huge Omega fan, but my tastes have matured and my horological knowledge and my budget have increased, I now have come to enjoy and respect Rolex for what it is (and what it is not). Who knows, may be that in 10-20 years from now I will be a PP fan?! |

OP,
I believe your intentions to be better suited for the NASCAR, "My Chevy'll run circles around that POS Ford you're drivin'." Forum. |
