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!!!)

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

Cant help it la...

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

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..

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.

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...

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

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....!!

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

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

Get the SMP ceramic. Wont go wrong with that!

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

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