No one except Omega watch nerds are talking about Snoopy, Bond and Speedy...no one!
You need to pull your head out your arse pal, Rolex are an upper mid-tier watch manufactuer, nothing more, granted they make some very nice watches, but in the watch game, they're the Johnny-come-lately, they can't even claim to have mastered any complications, something that many others, including Omega can.
The fact they are perceived as the greatest by those on the street means nothing, the better brand perception doesn't always mean the better product.
Someone should hand you a Lange or a Journe, then see how it stacks up to your GMT.
Your posts scream of someone who hasn't the first idea what he's on about.
There are a lot of other watch brands out there than Rolex and Omega. Rolex are good, so are Omega, but I would be hard pressed to say that Rolex is the be-all, end-all of watches, simply because it isn't. If you have ever seen or tried the offerings from Glashütte or even the lesser known Swiss brands such as Moser & Cie or Parmigiani Fleurier, you might change your opinion.
Unfortunately Rolex attitude to customers is not great, they i believe removed stolen register list now, waiting list is a joke.
All Rolex care about is how to maintain its luxury status and how many celebrities they can sign on. A lot of people I believe buy it because its something that is desired by everyone else.
Also I find myself scared wearing one, it has become such a high target for gangs and thieves.
I am a fair person
I just laugh and can't get over how die hard and defensive some folks here are.
luxury game is a con...Everything is a game, there is something to be said about their quality and design and marketing, but in fact their stuff is also overpriced
Damn I am arguing with nerds!
In fact I totally agree with you! I am a fair person if an Omega is stunning I would say that too. I love the Aqua Terra in green, stunning! I want to buy it.
I just laugh and can't get over how die hard and defensive some folks here are. I used to work for the biggest swiss brand, traveled there for sales training at HQ, you guys don't understand, the luxury game is a con... Everything is a game, there is something to be said about their quality and design and marketing, but in fact their stuff is also overpriced, often crap.... Its extremely difficult to whip the public into a frenzy like Rolex can. Let me tell you one thing don't tell me your FPJ lange Jaeger etc etc are higher quality better design, that's the game you see, without these hype these micro brands can't move a thing.
I can walk into a pawn shop in middle of American at 1AM in the morning and get $$$$ for my Rolex, you will get less for your Omega or other brands period. Why? No one want your FPJ Lange no one, may be you folks here, but let me guess most of your do not own any Jaeger, Lange, Moser, or FPJ....I get it I am in the same boat.
SO what am I saying? Rolex #1 period, if you like to argue for micro brands that sell 10 pieces a year and say they are better fine have it your way.
How many watches does Lange or FP J make per year? Do you have any idea how incredibly hard it is to make million pieces and have an average price of $7000 to $10000 OTD? Lange or FPJ or Patek are nothing next to Rolex, call on all Swiss brands to make a perfect $10000 dive watch like the Sub or even the GMT, sticker it at $10000 and sell in the millions in quantity.... trust me no of these super high end clowns can do it. It's easy to make one or two $500K or $800K display only pieces, it's a whole other story to sell million pieces at such a high cost of $10000 for a basic steel watch, you gotta have magic in your watch, Rolex is the ONLY game in town, that's why they by far is the most powerful swiss brand, Sorry Roger Federer does NOT wear FPJ or Patek or ugly Langes. These are in essence boutique brand, any given time only less than 1% of the population even qualify money wise to purchase. I used to sell super high end watches I know. Go to a Patek or Lange boutique, ghost town, only you watch nerds are arguing these non sense. Sell 100 pieces of FPJ to drug dealer and CEOs or mistresses does not make you a top tier watch house, you are nothing. Try sell a million steel divers for $10000 or more each to EVERYONE on the street that makes you a BIG DOG! Damn I am arguing with nerds! Hahahahahaha 😀
Hmm, this isn’t my takeaway
You should reread your own posts before you cast your stones lol
IE Rolex, which is a mid tier brand.

I was going to write an informed reply to your post, but really can't be bothered, you appear to be the sort of person who can't read a room, and won't be told.
You want a forum to agree with you and tell you Rolex are No.1? they have a forum especially for it, and it's not here.
How about show me some honesty, instead defend whatever you believe in. You and I both know Omega isn't quite Rolex, probably not even close. That's all. It's not about I am here to fight for Rolex, I am here because I don't like Rolex the way they treat the customers, Omega cares more of its customers that Rolex can't do, there I said it. Customer service Omega #1, Rolex is shit. Does that please you all? hahahahhaha
