Rolex DJ vs. Omega LE

[Cru Jones]

sorry, i can't help much with this one...the watches are SO different, i'd need to know more about your situation and what you're looking for.

the speedmaster IS an icon, but, i'm not sure the model you're showing it the one i'd go for. to each his own!

If you had that kind of money to play with, I'd get a non LE Speedy Pro and a quartz Aqua Terra - you get essentially both watches you're choosing between. I wouldn't bother with the 40th anniversary LE because:

a) It's essentially a standard Speedy Pro with a couple of medallions and a fancy box. Definitely a hesalite crystal instead of a sapphire

b) The £1500 premium is unjustified (IMO)

c) It's not limited enough to justify the premium.

I might also add that in my experience, the LE has been a very slow mover. Some interest, but I think people have cottoned on to the fact it's not a great deal.

As for the Aqua Terra, I think it's a great looking watch, and at the entry price point, very reasonable on the pocket. In an ideal world, I'd take the cal. 8500 version, but for the purposes of the watches and price range on hand, the quartz fits the bill very nicely.

Hope this helps

Yes thank you for your opinion the cal.8500 a really good looking watch and affordable, I will have a look at it tomorrow in Omega store and decide.

I normally would chose an Omega over a Rolex anyday, however that Rolex certainly appeals to me over that Omega. Go for the Rolex.

Rolex is always better than omega by brand but for me it doesn't matter anymore since great China releases thousands of replica rolex's every day and u cant tell the difference.

Isn't this more comparable to the DJ in looks?

Very different watches, but this time I must say Omega, cause it is absolutely STUNNING that piece.
