Good choice it's what i'm wearing now but yes I do know what you mean. I think it boils down to Omega need your business whereas Rolex don't and I know that sounds silly as they are both businesses but it's the demand factor outweighing the supply. Rolex can 'afford' to be picky.

Both Omega, and, Rolex, need your business.

They just have two very different ways of generating interest.
