That 1944 Omega alone looks way more better than the entire Rolex current line up .

even just one Omega would make me very happy...I've worn my Seamaster for 15 years 😌

[WristwatchAddiction]

As someone who has sold both brands, for me, 1000% 6 omega over 1 Rolex.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Rolex, but not at the prices they are being offered at, even with the recent price drops.
Great video!
Those SpongeBob pieces are kinda wonderful!

Pfft. I'd take one Omega over Rolex. Or even a seiko.

[GrumblingForesight]

I just sold the rest of my collection and went the one Rolex route a month ago. Having a one and done watch is pretty fun. Now I can consume watch media like I did automotive media during the heyday of printed car journalism 20-25 years ago. I’m enjoying them without feeling the need to keep replacing my only car.

[EricJohnson-viri]

Having owned 4 omegas and 3 Rolexes…one a sub, datejust/daydate/gmt/ expii, over 6 omegas without a doubt.

[terrysky]

Omega absolutely.
RAF pilots and SAS soldiers fought wars to defend freedom while wearing Omega

Omega please 😊. Buying a Rolex is like buying a Cadillac, every uncle and grandfather has one. Nothing special.

[pharmkim]

I have 007 Seamaster, 3861 mw Crystal Black & White, Submariner Starbucks, Fifty Fathoms Barakuda, and Longines Legend Diver
and I have lost the love to buy additional watches. I think this is a collection that leaves nothing more to be desired.

Sometimes AP Royal Oak or Ceramic Daytona catch my eye, but I am always happy when I choose a watch every day morning and can be satisfied without having to spend for that any more.

[jamespatrick]

Six Omega all the way and Longines over Tudor any day!

[ransom]

The Speedmaster and Subs are hard to beat as one watch collection options. Although, I'd go for the GMT Master II over the sub.

[andrejensen]

If you want a Rolex submariner, there is no substitute for it. For the time being I want a vintage white gold Piaget A6 😂.

[HollaatyourboyJ]

id take the 6 Omegas any day. ive sold most of my Rolexs already for other brands. i find Rolex too common and too boring. it'd be nice also to be discreet and have something people cant tell until they actually look at it

[arancourt]

6 omegas hands down, so much more variety and they don't look cliche. I'm at the point where rolex just looks outdated to me.

[ZachGrabill]

I'll say what others probably will, as well. If you want that Rolex, then no amount of Omegas or Tudors or IWCs is going to replace what you really want. What's the good of having a rotation of watches that you like less than the one you want to wear all the time? Note, I'm not advocating for or against this position, but I think it's the reality. Same for folks who choose a monochrome instead of a no-date sub because it works as well and is affordable. If you have a Rolex (or whatever) itch, then scratch it with the one you want.

[the.hamel.mammal]

That's wild to think I can have 6 omegas for the price of a Submariner. Wow. Because my ideal watch collection is a Seamaster Heritage 300, an Aqua Terra, and a Speedmaster... maybe a world timer? And they're all arguably better watches than their Rolex counterparts. I'd like to own a Sub someday, but I just generally like Omega better anyways.

[JOHNNYSD-]

Of course 6 omegas. I have Rolex and omega and I personally enjoy more a SMP than Submariner

[watchthisspace]

Drop all Omegas and instead of the Submariner Date, get an Explorer as a one-and-done. Rotating watches is such a chore; and consider also the servicing costs in the future. So, one Rolex and maybe keep the Moonswatch just for fun times.

[abymathew]

Omega is better than Rolex in every way, except the marketing...🥴🥴🥴

[makermark]

Well done, Tom. The sarcasm is much appreciated here. Keep doing what you do.
