i used to be all about "i want a Rolex" and then i was finally in a position to purchase one. Well i had the money but apparently i still couldn't purchase one. I went online to see prices on used and grey market and thought "yeah no". Then I realized something. The only reason I have ever wanted a Rolex was because I couldn't get one. Then I started looking at Omega and couldn't be happier. All I had to do was walk into the Boutique and walk out with a Seamaster and a Speedmaster. No waiting no premium price on the second market. Took maybe 2 hours total to try on and decide what I wanted. No wait lists no bullshit. If you want a Rolex that's great and you should get one but I'm over the whole "wanting what you cant buy". If they made more and made them available I may change my mind.

"Cheaper alternative".. Me: Still can't afford though. Hahaha

You're spot on with your observations.Zenith is king of the hill regarding looks, accuracy, and price. Rolex is advertising poacher, their product hasn't been 1st in alot of what they claim. The oldest acknowledged manufacturer Blancpain A.K.A. Rolex killer is also top tier (not a bargain sadly). Yes I do have a Rolex Kermit but I rarely take the EL Prim off. Nice video.

I sold my Rolex Daytona and my GMT Night and day but I kept my Zenith El Premiro as it’s so attractive!

As someone who once owned two Rolex Submariners, I'll never have one of the damned things again even if you gave them to me. I sold them for a ridiculously high price to an antique dealer, mainly because I live in New Zealand, and they had to go to AUSTRALIA to be serviced every three years or so - at a cost of nearly $800 EACH per service!! And they were away for up to TWO MONTHS!! This was over 20 years ago - the prices are much worse now! And even after being serviced, were stupidly inaccurate - THAT was the worst thing! So I sold them, and being antiques (one was the original 100 metre model left to me by my grandfather, the other a 200 metre Oyster Perpetual I bought myself in Canada in about 1967) I got a ridiculous amount of money for them. I then went and bought two Seikos - a V657 Chronometer movement, and a 200 metre dive watch SGEB47 (and I spend a lot of time in or on the water!) Total cost NZ$800!! I've been wearing one of them every day for the past 20+ years, batteries last 3+ years in either of them - battery replacement about $40, and they are only adjusted for time TWICE A YEAR against the UTC on the Internet - when we go onto and off of Daylight Saving Time. Accuracy?? BETTER THAN +/- 3 SECONDS IN 6 MONTHS!! Oh, and I have 250mm wrists - but Seiko put in the extra links for free!! Watches to me are for telling the right time - as supposed status symbols they aren't worth a damn!!

There are plenty brands better than rolex, but none compares with its brand awareness. If you want something that will kinda hold its value and show how rich you are, rolex is probably the best.

[ashishpatel]

But alpham told me mvnt was better than a Rolex. 😂

Man...that Zenith El Primero, is truly a thing of beauty... Never liked Tudor so much with the weird hands... but now its starting to grow on me!. Great job Jenni... love your English with German accent... it doesn't hurt that you a a very pretty lady! The whole package goes very well on camera... Keep up the good job!

[mrglock]

I AM THE ALPHA I AM THE OMEGA !!!! you just can't beat Omega for the prices. Soon they will be even more appreciated, thanks for your content. 👍

Rolex charges a branding surcharge, so its really not difficult to find alternative watches that offer better accuracy, build quality, and aesthetic, for less money. What's tough is limiting it to just 3 watches.

[HeBeHu]

Big plus for having vital dimensions CLEARLY when said watch is being introduced! :)

I've noticed, as a new watch enthusiast, that most brands especially the premium ones, don't deviate from their style. The Omega Seamaster has the straight elongated sides @5:48 that is iconic to the Speedmaster for instance. Its nice to see a wide ranging market where the brands aren't trying to BE each other. Its defined style and brands are rooted to their heritage

[vvvhhhhhbb]

I dont understand why everything is an "alternative" to Rolex. Just buy what you like and stop thinking that Rolex is the 'end all / 'be all' because of marketing. (Yes I do own a sub) My point is, the watch industry should stop comparing every thing to Rolex and simply state the attributes of each watch.

That Zenith will be mine. I've been looking for a Chrono that suited my tastes and this MORE than fits the bill. Thanks Jenni!!!!❤️

[Lord-Snowflake]

Great video Jenni.
The Omega 300m is an exceptionally made timepiece. One of my favorites.

[AngelSapundzhiev]

Rolex is not known as “the best watch brand” or the most innovative one, but people buy for the brand awareness, status symbol and potential best way to get your money back, once you want to sell it. Simple as that.

[ravik]

I have both GMTs (pepsi and Batman ) but my Zenith el primero’s accuracy is another level. And so elegant!

[theprince]

Came for the watches... stay for the accent.

Rolex Daytona was on Zenith in house movement till 1980.. Zenith has its own following and aura.
