Omega or Rolex

[Balzebub]

I can't post new threads yet, ride on this to post first.

If you guys had a chance to own only 1 Omega in your life, which model will it be and why?

Cos I like Omega, but likely to move on to Rolex when am older.

I appreciate your replies.

If can only own one omega i would choose a speed master. Personally prefer the broad arrow GMT

To me, Merc vs VW/Opel would be more accurate.

OR

Apple vs Samsung.

That is what I`m wondering this few days.

I cannot help you choose but I can give you my perspective of Rolex vs Omega.

Somehow I have always relate Rolex vs Omega to Mercedes-Benz vs BMW.

To me, Merc vs VW/Opel would be more accurate.

My preference for an Omega started with the round lumed SMP300, to the 2254, then to the POs (realised it was out of budget) then to the Speedies, back to the round lumed SMP300, and now the Aqua Terra 2500... =/

Narrowed down my first choice to the discontinued Omega 2254.50, current listings are out of my budget though.

The wait continues...

Nice choice....!!

This is really personal preference but I have to go with Rolex, also if time comes I would sell it, it tends to hold more value than the Omega.

What about the Speedmaster reissue Broad Arrow(321.10.42.50.02.001)? The watch was reissued to commemorate the original Speedmaster from 1957 and includes design features resembling those found on the first issued Speedmaster, such as the Broad Arrow hands, a silver colored tachymeter bezel and the year 1957 printed on the dial. Other than that it is pretty much the same as the Speedmaster Co-axial chronometer with an automatic 3313 movement.

Hi people, currently am looking out to buy my first 'luxury' watch and have narrowed it down to a used Omega or Rolex. However, since I don't have so much dough to dole out for a used Rolex, my budget is about $2.5k to $3k. I also want to own an Omega first before moving on to Rolex later on in life (am now 26). Now the problem with buying second hand is that to get a feel of the watch in hand, I have to meet up individual buyers, and apart from the inconvenience of non-obligatory viewing, some sellers may not be so free to meet u just to let you grope a feel. Spoke to some and they were just dealers..very unfriendly replies.

I don't really wear office wear often..mostly jeans. Which model should I go for?

1) Seamaster 2254 (most comfortable for budget)
2) SMP300 (the older version with white letters)
3) Speedmaster (This looks gorgeous in pics but lacked something when I tried it on at a boutique)
4) Aqua Terra (the 39mm one)

THanks..can't post new thread yet

Aqua terra is a good choice .. Swee

Seamaster 2254. Solid build and suits casual.

I owned both Sub C and PO 8500. Sub is classy. PO is rugged.
