Omega vs Rolex

I have a Omega speedmaster 50th anniversary LE. I like the watch very much but from following the forum, it's not holding it value as well as a Rolex.

Rolex for me too... I have no hesitation choosing a Rolex over other make...

hi Tempest,
Thanks for the sharingI always find it interesting reading such linkage between different watches.
To me they are just homage to one another, I bet Omega not the only one.
And no offense to anybody, I do find majority of the diver watches' just working on the same base design, dont you think so? (I enjoy wearing mine very very much)

I like omega speedmaster but i find that omega watches are too light and not used to the long bracelet with so many links. I still prefer oyster bracelet.

Don't really know how to embed photos here, so will do it the quick and dirty way...I understand some of the links below are replicas but for the sake of convenience, please forgive me cutting corners here...

First photo...the hour and minute hands and bracelets look a tad Swatch-like. Ok, Omega is owned by Swatch afterall.

This Seamaster I understand is a replica...the numbers look like Franck Mullers...

Again, the hands, the index bars...
Then there are some of the Aqua Terras that, well, kinda Citizen like? I thought Omega have departed from their classical designs in recent times. I have in the past been fascinated with Omegas and especially so with this model, first photo on the right...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Speedmaster. My dad had one of this and it was beautiful. I still do find it worth a second and third look when I see people wearing it on the streets...

It's like saying BMW vs Benz don't you guys think? Omega & Rolex are both well known brands in the watch industry, so it really boils down to individual preference in buying which brand. For myself, i'm into Rolex since the day i bought mine & i'm not thinking of Omega or others lolz!

They are certainly competitors.
Superior or on-par can be a subjective argument. It depends what you are comparing.
Here are some basic questions:
1) Who shows more technical excellence in using metallurgy and jewellery setting expertise?
2) Who uses more COSC certified movements?
3) Who has more patents?

Omega vs Rolex
Guys,
I heard that Omega was considered superior on par or better to Rolex back in the good old days of the 50ties and 60ties??
Is that true?

i think you'll get more comments on the PO more than the SD because, i believe the PO is more mainstream and looks more modern. the SD looks very tool watch, very divers... that 'normal' people don't really understand... i've even heard people say looks like seiko... -_-

breitling77:
doesn't make sense to compare apples and oranges...ive compared a regular omega seamaster auto right next to a rolex explorer II...
in terms of finishing, omega wins
in terms of movement, rolex wins
all these watch comparisons tend to be subjective...
my 2 cents cheers. lets appreciate the watches for what they are rather than to keep on comparing..to each their own
