Love, love Omega. I love the 150+ year history, but even more, I love you can actually walk into an AD and there are watches to buy. Not empty cases and waiting lists…….

I went on a Rolex waiting list two years ago. I gave up on waiting, and now I kind of resent them. Like you, I also bought a Tissot (SeaStar automatic) - which I love - and a Davosa Ternos ceramic (also very nice), but I still longed for a ‘worked my arse off for 35 years’ watch. I’ve decided that watch will be the Seamaster Diver 300M in either black and yellow gold or black and white (can’t decide) - with the rubber strap. Have already bought an Uncle bracelet for it. I’m so glad I’m over my Rolex dream.

Some brands make their products harder to obtain just to hold on to that "high end" status and it appears Rolex is doing that same game. Glad to see companies like Omega standing on it's quality and merits not marketing tricks. Great video and keep'm going.

I share your sentiment @ 13:40min mark. So much so two weeks ago I sold my Rolex Explorer 2 and bought a Seamaster 300m and a rad mountain bike. Rolex lost me and would rather spend my hard earned dollars elsewhere.

I've had an Omega Speedy Moon watch for years and love it. The real NASA cert'd one too

My husband and I love watching your videos together (both audio and watch). We love your honesty and humor. So thank you for that, and we hope there are many more videos to come!

Great review of the Omega Seamaster. I have always considered Omega the best watch for the money. Most people can save up and afford one and they have been around for over 150 years.

You hit the nail on the head when you said Rolex are “arrogant”

I’ve always thought that and to hear it out loud makes me smile and at least pleased that I’m not the only one thinking in that way.

I agree with what you said about Rolex. I am 71yo and want to buy a Rolex Submariner. I was a SCUBA instructor for many years, so a Submariner is the Rolex for me. I want a keepsake to pass down to my son-in-law when I am gone, but with the unwritten sales antics of Rolex, in hand with the grey market I will be long gone before getting a call from the Rolex AD. I refuse to pay the inflated price to a flipper for a Rolex, or be extorted by a Rolex AD. I am buying an Omega.

I'm a big Omega fan as well. I've come to the understanding that Rolex and I will never spend quality time together.

[netcatfulful]

Agree 100%.
In regards about being pissed off by Rolex, you should see what is going on here in Tokyo. Boutique staff standing like some sort of guards behind a rope, and no one is allowed to enter the boutiques without appointment. I repeat: You can`t enter the shop to look around, the entrance is blocked. And this, inside a mall!!! Not even a private building. I have never ever seen anything like that in my whole life, and I even wonder if it is legal.

I can't afford either. My wife bought me a seiko skx 013 when we started dating as a Valentine's Day present. I wear it whenever we go on vacations or I'm travelling without her. They cost like a thousand bucks now so I'm going to call it a massive win.

Bought my LAST Rolex back in the late 90’s. Own a vintage Seamaster Deville 18c gold, Seamaster 300, older Speedmaster, and an older AquaTerra. Omega rules…Rolex sucks!! And that’s just the way it is.

I purchase my Omega Seamaster last year and I’m with you. Loved, loved and loved. I hear you talking about the rubber strap, I did order a Titanium band I noticed how much enhanced my watch looks. You should look into you may like it. Good job on your videos I really enjoy your videos.

Rolex doesn’t want the business of a working class father, or a man who saved his money for years to buy a piece. They want celebrities, professional athletes and socialites. And for that, I will not purchase a watch of theirs. Now or ever.

[aworminmybook]

I have my dad's 1943 gold omega. He wore it every day from new. Still ticking!

[philrob]

this is so funny... been into audio for years and followed you... crazy enough just getting into watches and getting ready to pick this up... i had no idea you had this channel as well... cheers bud

[michaelcsizma]

I bought the Longines HydroConquest last December and have very much enjoyed it. But I do admit, a Seamaster is on my list of aspirational must haves.

I have both- SMP Polar and Submariner Date. I bought Submariner before the SMP. I hear you on the displeasure on Rolex's business model, but you can't blame them. 6-7 years ago, every Rolex was available or least within a 1-2 month wait. You could "request" any model you wanted and the AD would order one. But I blame the "resellers" that pretty much killed the watch game. Just like any other high demand product, there will be those that will buy out stock and resell at a profit. Omega still has the same problem but on a lower scale. I've been to AD's where the Polar SMP was not in stock and wait time would be dependent on Omega's output. I've been to Omega boutiques where a basic Aqua Terra 41 would need to be special ordered. Tudor has the supply/demand problem but only on certain models. But I'm glad the SMP worked out for you.
