    was watching a YouTube video just now about Rolex and Omega. Funny that the guy says Rolex have turned into something that is turning a lot of people off the brand. And the big difference between the two forums,
    I was literally on the Rolex forum for two minutes before I came across this picture

    No difference; they are from the same company. They just want you to think they’re different.

    I feel like the next evolution of the wrist shot on the RF will be just strapping the damned thing directly to their d**ks and comparing sizes (both mm and inches).

    Um...there are a lot of well respected members on the Rolex forum. Many of whom are also members here. It is a big forum so naturally there will be some outliers, sort of like me here :D

    Oh there are differences no doubt but that's part of the fun. I like the staff and members at TRF very much. Now WUS is a different story. I liked it when Ernie owned it but not so much since.

    It's actually a Lamborghini bonnet, but, hey, they're both Italian.

    There’s only one really big difference: YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK INTO AN OMEGA BOUTIQUE AND LEAVE WITH THE MODEL THAT YOU WANT.

    So true! That’s why I only buy discontinued Omegas, some Rolex habits are too ingrained :)

    TRF is just about a couple dozen people stroking their egos and showing off, like the clown with $500k of camera gear sitting in boxes that he photographs with his phone and posts them 90 degrees rotated. Oh, they fawn all over him. I've been happily banned there 3 times and see no need to go back for a fourth time. And I am not impressed by your car. Any car.

    Ok, I thought about it. First, both are superb watch brands, but, there are differences in my opinion.

    Omega as a watch company has been around longer then Rolex, fifty years or so, and I truly believe Omega makes a more accurate and perhaps even a more superior movement then Rolex which is evident in past Swiss watch competitions. Rolex is generally a more expensive brand, but it’s far easier to obtain most Omega models then Rolex. Can you imagine if Omega sold the Speedmaster in the manner that Rolex sells its stainless steel Daytona... better sign up now.

    I find the vintage Rolex market more lucrative then the Omega vintage market. There are also more vintage Rolex models in high demand and selling for stir crazy prices... just think anything called Newman.

    Rolex produces more watches and probably has more iconic tool watches then Omega... consider the submariner, Daytona, GMT, and Explorer. But, Omega will give you more bang for your buck and has a more varied collection and also offers more in women’s watches.

    Rolex as a brand name has better recognition among the civilian population, ie... regular people. People, not watch collectors, associate Rolex with financial success more so then Omega. Obviously, Rolex has done a superior job of branding itself over the years.

    I’m not going to say who is better... I’ll let you decide.

    @Rodentman what if it was some sort of Omega watch-powered car?

    In addition to opinions that have been listed, it is also depends on how do u like the look of the watch. for me, Omega beats Rolex when comes to appearance and i love to wear a nice-looking watch rather than expensive bad-looking watch.

    I think Omega beats Rolex on movement, accuracy, and value. Rolex are overpriced and overhyped on the internet. Twice MSRP for an illegible Daytona. Not for me.
