Based on looks which would you take and why?

[dukie748]

Two very different watches - I'd take the Explorer, but mainly because I despise Omega bracelets.

[JRell]

Ahhhhh neither?

[harrisonkris66]

I think omega ruined it by putting the olympic symbol as the counter weight on the second hand. If it didnt have that it would be great. I feel the same about the 007 models too.

[goodolejr]

It might be my untrained eye, but both look like they have some issues. Is that gap on the bottom right between the lug and bracelet link normal? And on the Omega, does it seem like someone over-polished the bezel?

[upsidedownbelt]

I have never seen that Omega reference and I hope to never see it again.

[goliat]

Correct answer: Explorer.

[polaris72]

I have the same Explorer, so Explorer.

[Bryan81]

I’m a huge fan of Speedmasters, but just don’t like the style of that one. Don’t like the font of the numerals, the second hand, or the colors. So, Explorer in this case.

Exactly what I was thinking...

[HJZS2K]

Explorer. It's a lot cleaner to me. Simple and elegant.

[Wllnv19]

Explorer

[clickingdru]

They are both great choices whichever you end up with is good however i'm on the Explorer side on this.

[Macnavara]

The rolex as that omega is grim

[myc ritz]

neither, two bad variations of great watches.

[ArtNouveau]

Like others have said, if the Omega was a Speedmaster it would be my choice, that chrono is way too busy. The Explorer isn’t on my wishlist but from this pair I would choose it.

[WS9D]

The dial on the omega is just way too busy for me.

[AF_Rob]

The Explorer. That Olympics branding kills it for me.

[garyk]

Rolex. Ask on an Omega forum, Omega

[s46]

I would pick neither
if I had to pick one it would be the explorer - and by the way I hate the explorer and would never buy one

[jamesbondOO7]

The Rolex, because it’s a Rolex.

[DoctorsOrders]

Please take into account your on the ROLEX forum lol. That being said I’d still take the Rolex, and I love Omegas.

This!

[Andad]

In this case there is no contest.

I have a few Omegas that I really like but the the dial on that model is a disaster from the holesaw sub dials, the rings, the numbers style and the date window placement.

This Explorer’s numbers has always been an issue but in this comparison it wins.

[Ny325]

Nether one.

[Tikandtokalot]

Explorer easy choice much more classy looking and great clear legibility.

[Roddypeepa]

That omega is a mess. A real dog’s dinner of a dial.

That's easy. The Explorer, of course.

The Omega looks pretty weird with its much too large logo, the three different fonts on dial, date ring and tachymeter, and the strange olympic rings on the seconds hand.

[japenney]

For this comparison the explorer. I just like the clean look of the explorer and I am not partial to the red color on watches so there is a little bit of personal taste coming into play. But in this case even given that the color on the omega was any color of my choosing I will still choose the explorer in this particular comparison as I am just don't really like the look of that particular omega.

[Geckobros]

I don't like either of them.

[b.tay_2218]

Explorer
