Rolex Sea Dweller is the correct answer

I think the omega just killed me despite being a fan of Tag

The Omega Seamaster got chronograph or not? Are you comparing one with and one without the chronograph?

None..... get a rolex.

4 replies and 2 of them refer Rolex LOL.

My sig says it all though I wouldn't get the Bond version. Plain SMP is nice or maybe the PO if you can spend more.

Hahaha..my vote goes to PO as well (but I am bias since I just picked one up).

Seriously..both different cat of watches..

One is a diver and the other is a tool watch..

the correct combo will be

Speedmaster v Carrera

Seamaster v Aquaracer

Rolex will trump them all....with the Hulk (sorry Yonggoh the DSSD is way to thick!!!)

+1

Pls compare apple to apple.

ps : Personally I think Tag's price tag is over inflated by their Marketing campaign's budget

I prefer Seamaster!!

seamaster of course.

tag ah........don't lah...omega is the way

yeah....go for omega...but at present i still using Aquaracer Grand Date sob sob sob...

Trying hard now for funding BReitlinG

Rolex...nuff said

Rolex is a way diff from TS specify!

Omega FTW!!!

Omega Seamaster chrono..

+1

TS ask for Omega vs Tag... u orang point towarda Rolex

But ..but ........Rolex Submariner FTW wor.....

Cant help it la...

hahhaha.... actually the ONLY Rolex I would buy...

male - tag
female - omega

Tag = yes
Omega = is this an egg?
Rolex = Too uncle ...

Rolex are way to china men old school..like those chow yun fatt era in the movies when they walk out a old sch rolls and a rolies on his wrist, LOL. Anyway, i am not saying anything bad about Rolex as GMT Master 2 ceramic really touched my heart when i first saw it. Only that model! =)

Get the Pepsi....

But as much as I champion the Rollie...I dont own 1. I just hated the cyclops....hence the Sub will always be my choice..or the Milgauss

Nah... tried both, the coke looks much better on me. The cyclops does up the "uncle" rating, but it can be modded.

Modding it ah....abit scary ehhh...change the glass..

I wonder why Rolex still keeps the cyclops window. I mean if the size of the date is an issue..there are Big dates complication available...

But it could be me that hates the cyclops..maybe the majority owners of rollies loves the cyclops ehh..

Get it removed. no need to change the whole glass, the cyclops is stuck onto the glass anyway.

between Omega seamaster and Omega speedmaster which will u guys choose?

i prefer speedmaster..

Seamaster for me!

+1

too many chronos alrdy

i choose omega

i choose panerai..

seamaster also nice....take both la....hahaha

Not a fan of Omega, but the only Omega I would go for is

own a tag, but would love to get the Omega PO if budget permits..

If white dial sure very nice ni....!

Yes Omega is a wise choices fr uncle looks, while Tag is more fr youngster & the choice is up to U hehehe

Let's RM do the talk!!

OMEGA FTW

Yes that's true bro the power of M play the main role here..

personally, i think the tag targets the young at heart, while the omega targets at the stable. i may be wrong but this is my opinion la.

for me, the omega is something i can wear to work everyday but not on weekends as i am always dressed down (tshirts, bermudas and flipflops). tag is something i can wear to work everyday and can also wear on weekends cause it somehow suits the dress down.

below were the models i was looking at :-
carrera - gorgeous
monaco - requires time to get use to the square face
seamaster - chunky
speedmaster - very nice

had hard time deciding as the price range were quite similar. the speedmaster won. ended up with the chrono date/day.

as said, i only wear during work and weekends i will flaunt my g's!

TissoT~~~

i owned Carrera , currently. Nice to have

and i would like to have Omega in my collection as well , either Seamaster or Speedmaster would be good ..

Wow this thread still alive?

At the end of the day it boils down to personal taste. Both has its own heritage, TAG in motor racing and Omega in moon/divers.

However, I prefer Omega for the simple reason that the designs are cleaner and it generally better finished. I own a P.O 8500 and the finishing on the watch is fantastic. Of course having its own "in-house movement" is a major plus as I tend to buy watches with its own calibers.

In late 90's I like Tag F1 chrono series metal & rubber type. very nice, hype & all my friends has one. But movement quartz & retail for 4k+

I am glad I made the right choice & never regret looking back almost 15years ago... for the same price I bought a omega seamaster. My fav basher then & now...

Rolex comes into the picture in 2007 (Explorer) & Submariner (2008) I hated rolex it makes me look old & its an old man brand. 5years later it begin to make me look younger... (you cant go wrong with sports model)

The sub is ok... but the explorer is really more on the Ah Pek side bro... for sure doesnt go with Oakleys

Deepsea is without cyclops.

My vote goes to Omega. Better resale value and more exclusive among the vast majority.

My SMP 2254.50 is my everyday watch which is keeping time well and sports watches just match with any attire you wear.

Cheers.

Would like to ask whether anyone here will consider Breitling rather than Omega?

i like the way u describe.

i suppose then Sean Connery 007 for wearing is vintage Submariner is a china man then?
lol

Rolex is will always be a status symbol of quality, success and luxury....
If that means being a chinaman then its a tribute to China as an economic powerhouse...

Oh back on topic. Omega FTW

Ahh..but your are a Rolex fan hence you are bias...

I believe many is still stuck with the old notion that Rolex= Apek. Its because the way Rolex used to market itself...

But nowadays if you look at the new Rolexs...they are designed to catch the executives ..

Go to Singapork..Hong Kong..even New York ...you are bound to see loads of people wearing Subs and GMTII

Anyways... back to the offtrack equation Rolex>Omega...

Sean Connery.


try this 1 ?




If you say James Bond i preffer this guy. He is another Steve Mcqueen for me.


-------------------------------------
If you still remain the image Rolex > than Omega, your information is not update an still remain like past few years.

------------------------------
China already overtakes US became world highest demand luxury watch market on 2012

Omega gain 20.2 % attention
Longines 18.9%
Rolex 10.5% in china market.

The lead that Rolex held over Omega is not just quickly narrowing, can say no advantage in the fight.

Statement:
Rolex facing stagnant market.
Omega just do a great big leap.

And don't forgot the Olympic is coming soon.
That could be another situation of being beaten.

If sales/profit determind which is the better watch.... then probably Swatch wins?

Rolex hired ton of ambassadors.
Even the same material using, Rolex still selling higher price than Omega, who make more profits.......
And where is the money go......?

The statistic that more and more ppl are buying Omega is EXACTLY why i will never want to own one

except perhaps their speedy pro moonwatch... perhaps their only one in the lineup with any real significant pedigree...

hmmm...

Money goes to advertising...thats for sure. But...it is only through advertisng that a brand achives certain "status". And we humans buy things (especially a watch) as a status icon.
So..you cant blame Rollie to be more expensive $-$ as its actualy in part of the intristic value of the watch.

If you want to argue like technical functions in Omega > Rolex..mights as well take the argument of the digital watch which has like 50 functions but cost like 50x lesser.
The same reason why I say although my P.O 8500 (technically) superior than the SubC, however..its will never carry the "Look I have a Rolex on my wrist" perception.

When it comes to buying premium watch...its always never based on rational thinking..otherwise all of us will just wear well made digital watches

When i was in China (business trip) last year .
Seems to me that people are only talking about AP and Vacheron Constantin . I don't see many Rolex and Omega wearers .
Most of the Rolex wearers are from the older generation , 40s and above maybe?

Different area different brand conquer ?

Ahaha...strange as I am in complete opposite...I tend to shy away from Rolex because its too obvious. Some people like it for the flair but I dont get it. Of course I will be lying to say I never considered getting a Rolex, but all in all I am quite happy that I didnt buy the SubC when I had the chance. I just wanted a daily beater and thought the SubC would have been a good choice. I think the P.O complements me better... as so far no one has "Hi..is that an Omega?".

Love it....!!

Perception.

Used to be a china man kinda thing.

But Chinese these days... are trying to be more "sophisticated" hence they are trying to shed the old china uncle rolex image.

Becasue Rollies and Omegas are just premium. AP and VC, PP Lange are haute horlogerie brands which is supposed to be a step up.. :0

You know China has the most billionaires in the world rite so..a watch that cost 100k RM is nothing to them lol

I agree .

With the internet and all , the public are more "enlightened" about Haute Horlogerie .
They do not seek for a watch with 3 hands and a date , or a watch with a chronograph anymore . They want complications .

Ahah..then VC will sapu all since VC is the top dog when it comes to complications...

because of trend only.

They feel they are winning when they talking about top ultra end luxury brand, flaunting of wealth that is so shocking.

China Ah Beng.

its very hard to appear "sophisticated" when you dont have that certain aura around you.
like uhhh james bond can wear a casio, and still appear classy.
an ah pek wearing a rolex, no matter how hard he tries will never appear classy.

I own a tag, my next watch shall be a omega! But still 50/50 or Chinese saying 15/16 about omega

Mine to share what is ur budget?

Myself also still thinking to shift from tag to other brand....still thinking the range of 7k to 10k max

Get the SMP ceramic. Wont go wrong with that!

Or a Speedy would be a great introduction to the Omega brand..

owh... i will consider if they produce a white dial! Currently i'm aiming for a breitling colt gmt

if got the means, an Omega would definitely be a better pick than a Tag anytime. Nearly wanted to get this one, an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in Semi Gold and brown leather strap...

Seamaster Planet Ocean, the watch i always dream to own

lol...when you have it ..you will want something else....its the POISON i tell you!!

if got money, sure buy this

^ thats Omega collab with Orbis comes out this design.

Looks that many OMEGA fans here!

lol.. value wise omega wins hands down IMO

Look at the price only certain people can afford to buy....

value and price is different

How much is this? de ville hour vision

should be somewhere between rm17-20k...never really bothered to check exactly how much it is here.

cannot compare, different price range.

Definitely Omega.

depends on which model particular model you looking at...

A grand carerra with el-primero movement would definitely more favourable than a quartz sea-master... XD

I would go for omega, but this depend on ur social circle.
Mostly ppl know abt tag, but less public know abt omega ( telur organic ke?)

Omega has better class, especially w the in house movement.

i prefer Tag..

no brainer omega for me~!

Ω

I prefer Tag Carrera

White dial? best white dial watch I've seen is the IWC Portuguese with blue hands. The Breitling Colt GMT look like kiddie watch with the big bold numbers..


Best statement in the entire thread. I'll pick a Tag thank you. Omega seems to be trying too hard to become Rolex. Paying top marketing dollars to be Bond's choice? Really? Everybody knows Rolex is Bond's choice.
At the very least Tag is honest that their brands are for idiots who don't even know how to wear watches. Enter Tag exhibit A:

Which colt gmt u referred to?

These ones.
https://www.google.com.my/search?q=breitlin...iw=1920&bih=985

I don't know, I personally feel Breitling's dial is a bit too busy in general.

confusing post.
are u implying that u are also an idiot?

then again, omega, rolex, who doesnt want to be king of the mountain...the top swiss brand is still nestle anyway

only breitling i like is the superocean heritage.

I'll pick the Omega. PO for that matter.

For some reason, the Heuer seems to hold more value rather than Tag Heuer as it is now. This is the downfall of Tag.

Well, that's the only way to shut the Tag bashers up, and its true, I feel stupid looking at Tag adverts.
I use my Tag as a daily basher, oh well. Beats a Rolex that only sees the light of day once a week.

Watches are meant to be worn, not sitting in a box winding away.

My fav classic (more intelligent) watch ads



And unpaid ambassadors are the best ambassadors
