Let me ask you this:

What does the Sub better than the new PO:

- Movement? i had unresolved issue with 8500 (not correctable by Omega even after visiting Omega spa)...was +3/day, same as my DJ now.
- Bezel? same for all intended purpose

- Case? Rolex has higher grade steel
- Bracelet? Rolex oyster bracelet is just slick in operation...and far more sophisticated
- Clasp? See above.-
Lume? same.
....

....

?

my response in bold.

I'm quite surprised to see these kind of Rolex-fanboy comments even on the Rolex board. Why is Sub-c of higher quality than the new PO again?

You mean quality with lint under the crystal of the 3 DSSD's I saw at local dealers?

Does this make Omega wanted to be a wannabe of a wannabe?

Don't care about the past, who brought it out, back in the day, when I was in the war blah blah.

It's a wannabe Rolex.

RolexYM · 29 August 2011, 07:19 AM

And lets not forget...resale value is far superior for the Rolex. This is not even in the same ballpark! Just look on ebay, local pawn shop, etc..

And of course, after sale service sucks for Omega...and quite well-known for such crappy service...the quality of service and packaging are a joke for Omega.

And Omegas never had lint under the crystal??? Wow. I read somewhere that the previous POs had stoppage issue...would you rather have lint or broken movement?

Really?

this is one of the reasons why general public give us sensible Rolex owners a bad name/reputation....

The Prodigy · 29 August 2011, 07:23 AM

That is a fun message board! I like it!

There's no other message board about watches with this special kind of behavior.

Hard to imagine that there are only watch enthusiasts here, who really like watches and not just this one brand ...

dalew · 29 August 2011, 07:23 AM

Omega's basel offerings 2011 where aimed at the rolex market, unfortunately they have a long way to go before they challenge rolex on quality, market share or brand marketing. Money aside and both the new omega po-ceramic and sub-c on the table, who in there right mind would pick up the po ceramic...?! Case closed!!!!!

You mean Omega forum is not full of fanboys?? Unfortunately, many of us here have had Omegas in the past.

Right Rolex never had stopped movements or broken clasps. Of course, 2 out of 3 QC problems isn't too high for some here as long as it's a Rolex. I read a lot of things too...But stop talking like you know the brand until you actually experience the brand.

Why are you even making up a thread to trigger a discussion when you only have the one right answer?

Seems to me that you're not interested in other opinions and just want to praise yourself for having a Rolex?

No they are not, many are over objective on their likes and dislikes. I see plenty of praise and criticism.

Easier...go to any local watch trader/collector shop...and ask which they pick? Which would they pay top dollar for? Or if you want what the average person want, then just ask your local pawn shop...or go to Ebay and look at used prices. Not even close b/w the two.

Oh they sure have fanboys. But they seem to be nowhere near this level you see in this board.

Most of them admit that Rolex is a great brand (it sure is) with nice watches and many own Rolex and Omegas as well ...

Really, you were in the strategic meetings? So what was the POC 9300 aimed at? Get over yourself...

Well, you may have a reading comprehension problem...see my above posts. I have had plenty of Omegas, including one with 8500 caliber...thank you.

Should we peruse Omega forum and count the number of threads about Planet Ocean stoppage vs. Rolex lint-under-crystal issue??? Hell, lets even combine broken clasp plus lint-under-crystal issues and compare that to PO stoppage. I am nice that way.

Err...No, you have a generalization problem. The new POs have the 8500 movement. So your conclusion of one 8500 problem should write off all 8500 movement. At least I have some different PERSONAL samples. Does that mean DSSD is bad? No, because I own one.

Bad name? Really? What social circle are you in?
Didn't realize we had one, and you're from U.K?

The point is that 8500 is a good movement...but is it better than Rolex's movement?? Not really...they both do the same for the average consumer. I hate that i had to return my 8500-caliber Omega to Omega service in LA only after 2 years only to find that they did NOT fix the problem. Sure, it was under warranty...and Omega did not even package my watch correctly...lost my box for a few months too...etc..... In other words, i was disappointed with after sale service for a watch that retails for above $6000!!
