Criticise a watch because of its features, and I will have no quarrel - there needs to be two sides of the argument for a strong debate (and that's what I like). To dismiss a watch because of its brand is poor form, in my opinion. Yes, this is a Rolex forum, but we shouldn't lose sight of objectivity, and fair, reasoned criticism is a good way to improve a product. I will always call a watch on how I see it based on the facts, data and reference points I have available - I am only biased towards watches that weigh up based on that. I like great watches, regardless of the name on the dial

If you haven't tried on the new generation of Omegas, you might be surprised...I wouldn't own any Omegas made between about 1980 and 2005, they really did fall a long way from their peak and made some truly awful watches during that period. I'm glad to see that they're beginning to regain some of the quality and design flair that made them the number 1 brand back in the day - had internet fora existed at the time, I am sure plenty of folks would have dismissed Rolex as not being an Omega

Tell you what to do? Your buying the watch it should be based on your opinion.

I agree. Thickness and comfort caused me to go with the SubC over the 8500. Plus, I liked the less busy look of the SubC face over the cramped-looking 42mm 8500. And, regarding the movement itself----I've looked at how the 8500 compares to the SubC. The 8500 is the better movement in several respects. But its like comparing an A to an A+. The 8500 isn't SO much better that you should let the movement make the decision for you, IMHO. The Rolex is an older, proven, fantastic movement. And Rolex does it in a much smaller package than the 8500. If Omega was able to fit the 8500's goodness in the size of the SubC movement, then I'd be impressed. Oh, and by the way, my SubC has been running about a second off per week!

Keep your Omega and save for the next

Try a black faced Explorer II 42mm. That will work for you.

[How]

Get the LV. You will find that the 40mm Sub brings a new level of priceless, timeless beauty.

I know cos I went from a PO 2500 XL 45.5 down to a 40mm SubC, and found that the smaller size actually brought a level of style, elegance and toughness to my wrist that I couldn't describe. Now I think the 45.5 PO size is ridiculously too big to call stylish on my wrist.
