I was really thinking about getting the omega too but, after the last visit to the Omega boutique store, I knew the Rolex sings to me the most. The index markers and the hands are made from glass blackish material. I decided a bit too shiny for me. I really like the clear caseback though!!!

Congrats on the purchase of the datejust with romans. I have to agree with other members that the roman dial looks bit classier than the stick dial. enjoy that new Rolex of yours

Good choice,

looks amazing on your wrist!

I like the Omega, too, but it looks too big on your wrist.

Regards

Gorgeous watch! I love it and it looks great on you! Personally, although I like Omega (not anywhere near as much as Rolex though!) the dial on that Omega is not my favorite. What you got is super versatile and I think you will be very happy with it!

116520 White dial would be another option if you don't mind a busier dial
