Omega Seamaster Auto V Rolex Oyster Submariner
Discussion
Sorry about another watch thread people.
Re : Omega Seamaster Automatic (Mid Size) V Rolex Submariner Oyster Perpetual.
Has anyone compared the two watches ?
The Rolex Seems Cheap (ref Build quality) when compared to the Omega.
Even The sound of the Rolex strap 'clinking' sounds cheap compared to the Omega's.
Need some advice Guys.
Which would you choose and why ?

Always the Omega. I sometimes wear a 1960 Seamaster - although I'm not into watches at all – because a) it was my dad's and b) it's very understated.
Who would admit to wearing a Rolex? I wouldn't wear one becuase of the connotations.
Haven't got a clue what either of the watches you mention would cost though ... but that's the point - it doesn't matter - get which one YOU like.

Well, I would imagine that the Rolex is more expensive so another plus point for the Omega
And I wouldn't wear a Rolex, not just because of the Bling factor but also because they're just too big, although I got one for my wife
(she always wanted one) but the ladies ones are not quite as in your face.

Omega because I like the more understated look and a Rolex is too 'Bling' IMHO
How is a Submariner 'bling'?
A diamond encrusted Daytona, yes. But, a Submariner, THE definitive sports watch in black and stainless steel.

Oh yes, and Bond drives a BMW.

Yep and once I like to think he saw the error of his ways. Omega and Aston...like Pussy and Galore it just works.

Back to the serious question. Re: the Sub bracelet 'clinking', make sure you're looking at a newer model, they came with 'solid end links' (SEL). This reduces the rattling. In addition, the very newest models can be identified by the lack of holes on the lugs.
To get really anal, my choice would be to go for the 50th anniversary model, the LV (affectionately known as a 'Kermit' because of the green bezel
). However, I'd then swap the green bezel for the original black version. The LV also has oversize markers and hands which look great, so only the truly initiated would ever know
