I bought an Omega Seamaster in high school in the 1960's and went scuba diving with it many times. The Omega SM was a fine watch and within my price range at the time. Later in life when I could easily afford Rolexes I bought a new Submariner. It's sort of like, while my Mustang GT500 is a fine car for the money and gets the job done, if I could afford a new Ferrari F12berlinetta I wouldn't be driving the Mustang. Nuff said.

both looks nice in picture and in metal.....

i like the omega in every way... if it was as thin as the sub i think it would be a winner....

the sub sits lower when in the wrist and tend to have the "hugging the wrist" feeling

with the 8500 movement of omega... it tends to float at my wrist...

almost bought one last week.... nice finish and all.... its just the thickness that set me off...

Well written review, and the right conclusion. I think I would personally have marked down the Submariner a few extra points, but the arguments raised are spot on, for the most part
