What savvy and pervasive advertising are we speaking of? Seriously asking. Omega (like Brietling) employs half of Hollywood to pimp their watches. Not to mention the whole first on the moon thing-which I agree is really cool.
Yeah Rolex doesn't drop 40-50 million to sponsor F1 annually or anything

I think that's the point. The argument was Rolex was all marketing while both have exorbitant amounts. The difference is Rolex has a better perception anf known heritage. That's it.
Doesn't mean you can't like Omega or both. It just means Rolex's value and prestige is better.
Garmin is the true Rolex killer
Does that tell you what time it is?

You are making me want to upgrade my 5. Not having the AMOLED screen is a serious hinderance for me these days.
It's like a hubcap for your wrist!!

I'm probably biased as an Omega guy but I could have gone Rolex and chose Omega. Rolex feels kinda prissy to me.
Same here. My former CEO let me choose almost any Watch I wanted and I chose Omega over Rolex.
In the horology world it is often said that Rolex, while not exactly works of art, are "built like tanks." Yep, when I think "prissy" I think of Rolex.
This board is starting to get insufferable.
I didn't buy mine as an investment. And it's clear from your ridiculous white-knighting and insistence on ignoring the fact-based arguments of others individuals such as yourself contribute to my categorizing Rolex as "prissy."

Your watch takes are about as strong as your takes on a certain Astros OFer.

I love my Tactix Delta. One stop shop for when you are out in the field, running or hiking. Not heavy at all or that big. I actually use the sunrise/sunset etc for planning and wrist compass for navigation

I purchased the Venu 2 this afternoon. Very very gay compared to yours but i don't need most of the functions in the Fenix or the Tactix these days.
Really just wanted to upgrade my screen to the AMOLED so i could actually see it and it holds it's own music.
That's a sick feature. Nothing like leaving the phone behind and just a watch and some wireless headphones
Yep. Looking forward to it.

Man it would be nice to be able to leave my phone in the locker at the gym, my workouts would be so much more efficient.
Yea and not as prissy.
So we all agree.
Rolex is Pappy 15 and Omega is William Larue Weller.
Clout vs taste.

The bourbon that went from my dinner table to grand World champion bourbon and $1,500 a bottle is taste?!?
Yeah.
WLW tastes way better than Pappy 15, with a much fuller body. What I'm saying is, when you have people over, they are more likely to cream themselves win they see a bottle of Pappy vs WLW simply because of the name and following.

Dont know much about high end bourbon so I will have to take your word for it.
Bottom line, Rolex (and Tudor for that matter) use in house movements. Omega uses ETA. The argument begins and ends there.

ETA is in house, you weirdo. Just like Rolex has their own captive movement makers.
Not to interrupt the Rolex Omega turf battle, but here's a gameday watch for the maroon blazer crowd:

Not my style , but I respect it
Are you serious, trolling, or just dumb? ETA are generic calibers used by dozens and dozens of different watch manufacturers that are primarily (or maybe now only) part of Swatch group. To say otherwise is very disingenuous.schmendeler said:BoDog said:

You might want to read this and reflect on your tone just a bit.
