I posted this elsewhere, but it seems relative to this thread.

It's so interesting the views that people share about Rolex vs Omega.

I truly love Rolex watches. I have since before I knew what a Rolex was. My old man wore one, and I loved the look and style of the watch.

I tend to avoid wearing them now for a relatively specific reason. People, especially in this forum tend to talk about "flying under the radar". I agree that we are all entitled to our opinions, but imo people are always checking out other people. Wether it is noticed or not, it's not my opinion, it's a fact. Rolex watches DO get noticed.

And sadly, often times people wearing Rokex watches get lumped into the douche bag category. It might not be fair, but neither is racism or sexism. Certain attributes are associated with certain groups because they are prevalent in that community.

Someone wearing a Rolex is linked into the category of someone that has money. Not always the case, but often times it's true. Someone with money is often times lumped into the category of pretentious douche bag. This sadly is also often times true. Clearly, not always, but it's a perception of many because there is truth behind it.

I love Omega watches because I feel they are top notch quality. I also love the fit and feel. And I like that they truly do go unnoticed.

Interestingly enough, I have admitted on this site that I'm ok with being noticed. I even enjoy it. And my watches are jewelry. I like them that way.

To me, if my Omega gets noticed, it's not because it is an Omega. It's because it's a beautiful watch that shouts out quality. It does not shout out branding such as Rolex does.

I love my new 300. And I'm enjoying my love affair with Omega. I can only hope it continues.

And just to point out: clearly, this is my opinion and mine only. I do not mean to offend anyone. But if you are getting offended by any of this, probably a better idea to look at yourself rather than the person making a statement of personal opinion.

And clearly, I still like Rolex. Indeed I like the watches very much. Can't wait to try on the new releases. But they will have to be something really special for me to pick one up.

As much as I hate to say it this is pretty true. I love rolex but when people ask me what I'm wearing I don't even say the name. I just say submariner or Daytona. I'm about to the point where I'm going to just keep the 116613 bluesy and the dsotm and sell the rest. I had a freind over day that saw my collection and his comment was "that's weird" and he's a Dr too so it wasn't out of envy lol. I think having one piece you like from each brand works at least for me and I can choose when and where to wear them. Besides I'll be adding the apple watch anyway being a techie but hopefully I'll only wear it for fitness and not get attached to all the cool stuff it can do or my others may collect dust. .
