·... finally pulled the trigger on a Seamaster on the forum here and upon showing it to my son he said immediately, "why didn't you get a Rolex?". He is 22 and pretty hip to the fashion trends as he has more than one $200 Supreme t-shirt among others.
I do not believe he knows anything about mechanical versus quartz but he definitely has never heard of Omega and definitely knows the name Rolex. I personally could afford a Rolex but there is a stigma to wearing a Rolex that a poor kid that grew up in a trailer park in Michigan has no interest in perpetuating. Definitely not judging anyone that wears them just a personal thing to me. I love my Omega because it is not a Rolex.
Precisely my point 😉 and btw, a very nice SM you got there! 👍
