Why are omegas so easy to buy, and rolexes so difficult?

To simply put, you don’t get laid wearing an Omega.

also, every single speedmaster from the beginning of time is exactly the same. Fact!!
Luckily for me, my wife prefers Omega over Rolex 😁

And no, not every Speedmaster is the same:

I always preferred the look of a vintage Omega movement over that of a Rolex...and I always preferred the look of the vintage Rolex case to that of an Omega. Logic tells me that the Oyster case with screw down crown is the best at being waterproof. I think the qualities of workmanship and materials are basically equal. In terms of advertising and marketing acumen, I have to give the nod to Rolex. But at the moment, I am more enthralled with the watches of JLC.

And JLC, in my opinion, designs and builds a better watch than both Omega and Rolex. JLC is unquestionably the value proposition in the high end segment. It sounds odd to describe the $11k JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon as a “bargain” among high end dress watches - but when you compare it to the competition, it’s true.

As for why it’s so difficult to buy a Rolex? Because, as we all know, Rolex watches are hand made one at a time by Swiss elves who live deep in the forest. It takes years just to make one Rolex. Which is why the elves wear Omegas. And they get laid frequently.

I would be interested in hearing the reasoning behind this conclusion.

Cheers, Al

Santa may only come once a year, doesn’t mean Mrs. Clause has to stick to that schedule.

Rolex's white gold is premium for the chiringuito. A great job of marketing for the oyster case.

Well they can't get laid that often or there would be more new Elves to work in the Rolex factory.

What, elves don't use protection?

Seems we’ve gotten to the heart of the matter. The elves just don’t reproduce fast enough to scale production. And everybody thought Rolex was up to something nefarious…

Omega did have that awkward decade or more around the 1980's

Yeah, that and the aids epidemic.
Possibly the whole watch desire thing is a purely male thing, unless of course it's the females that wear the Omegas.

You do realise Omega sells twice as many Ladies watches than mens. Go to any boutique and see how many ladies watches compared to mens watches…. Tag Heuer is the same…. We may think it’s a mens world, but one of the biggest bump in mens watches sales is actually woman buying and wearing mens watches.

I read a article a while back that was men may buy more watches but woman buy more expensive per piece (due to jewellery aspect ie: diamonds etc)
