Omega vs Rolex

[commoner]

I am now wearing a relatively new omega, I have my rolex 6994 and DJ16200. The thing about rolex is : A Rolex is A Rolex is A Rolex, it is more than just a watch. Even if someone be able to wear a PP/AP or a tourbillon, a commoner will always recognise a Rolex,,, Omega isa good reliable watch, and under swatch, has been innovative, but at the moment cannot compare on equal grounds in terms of branding and recognition.

good point.

I was refering to him saying about omega vs rolex, BUT using a tudor in his article's picture, which I find just shows how 'much' he knows about rolex.

actually, i think the pictures were added by Today...

As like you mentioned, tudor and rolex should be considered as seperate entities, hence, me commenting that he is only half correct in a certain way. And also later my comment saying that I doubt his credibility as he should be using a rolex pic instead if he is commenting abt the brand (unless the writer thinks Tudor can be considered Rolex)

just my twisted thoughts, nothing to be serious about here

Or the author dun even know that both Tudor n Rolex is different....

[exxondus]

hmmmm the writer is correct... although Tudor is a subsidiary of Rolex, the market share it garnered is not and should not be consider as part of Rolex as the market targeted by the two are considered to be separate ones. Both brands are created and marketed for different targets.

It's the same for Toyota and Lexus... same company, but different targets so treated as separate entities...

If not the write add in Swatch and Omega, Rolex and Tudor is gonna lose big time then

Anyway just sharing what I learnt in marketing and strategic management classes. =) No flaming intended. Pure sharing! Do comment if I am wrong too!

PS : I will still buy a Rolex though! the brand name, tradition and prestige is something that Omega will take a long long time to catch up...

then the writer is only half correct as Tudor is also part of Rolex's establishments.

But does give me some doubt abt the credibility of his article of people (in this case, only 1 example) choosing Omega vs Rolex.

100% agree with you!

I like both, have both, and will continue to buy more of both

Have been drooling over this for some time, but biding my time for a good used piece to surface

But no matter how it will be in the future, I still feel that no collection will be complete without a Crown in my box.

But does give me some doubt abt the credibility of his article....

the problem with this op-ed is... it's an op-ed!

rolex is not a publicly traded company, and there is no/insufficient data available publicly to make any REAL conclusion that rolex is fairing as badly as claimed in the article.

using old COSC statistics, word of mouth (at best, "analysts") and off-street interviews... is NOT ENOUGH!!!

neither was there enough empirical data that omega has gained as much market share over rolex as claimed...

[exxondus]

The writer posted Tudor pics instead of Rolex in the article. Anyway, I'll get both

Tudor's designs have improved alot. Hope that Rolex can do allocate more funds to market the brand.
