Chris helped me purchase my first Omega Seamaster. Amazing watch. I get compliments on it constantly and wear it everyday. Good points on both sides, however, the last point you guys made of availability was huge. I went to a Rolex boutique and as you guys mentioned, you cannot buy a watch from a boutique or any Rolex store until after you've been on the waiting list and hunt for it. Nice video!
I've worn a Speedmaster for the past 10 years, but as for James Bond, Ian Fleming himself wore an Explorer 1016, and said James Bond would wear basically the same thing. I own both brands, I just align closer to the Speedmaster with being a massive space nerd. As a Boston native I grew up loving watches and went to your location many times. love the content guys.
Fanboy of both brands, but the one thing that Rolex does better than Omega (and many others) is that they make slim watches. Both of my Omegas are over 13mm. Whereas only the now discontinued Milgauss stood over 13mm (not counting the Sea Dweller and Deep Sea). But for 90% to of their regular production models they make thin watches. Few Omegas are thin. Especially their sports models.
Omega makes watches; Rolex makes jewelry. The advantage that Rolex has over Omega is that not only does their watches look like jewelry in a good way (watches are the most broadly accepted jewelry for men) but they also make an amazing product that can compite head to head to the best watch brands. Omega om the other hand has better pricing, availability and a brand identity that has not been tainted by flexers.
Omega = Classy, subtle, innovation, attracts professional and more well-informed following. Rolex = Simplistic models, tons of fakes and similar looking watches in the market, attracts a following mostly for ostentatious reasons.
Rolex is oldstyle Bond, Omega is representing the modern Bond. It also represents change from cold war to post cold war. Therefore omega is in my opinion more modern.
For me its big question, i understand having an AP its difficult cuz of low production, but Rolex with millions of production how all retailers without product? And how they are making money with “just for exhibition “ watches? I have one answer, Rolex have share from grey markets with making not availability in official markets. And they know they can’t sell their watches in AD’s with grey market price
My parents bought me a Seamaster (tuning fork) for 21st in 1971. Great watch but shirt battery life a wee bit annoying. Also gave a similar age second hand Rolex Oyster, mechanical automatic.
You can buy omega if you have money but Rolex not.its not you choose the Rolex it’s the Rolex AD WHO CHOSE YOU. That’s the difference, when you go through the process to buy the Rolex that time you will realise that truth …

Great point! You always have the chance to buy pre-owned shrevecrumpandlow.com/brand/rolex
@@shrevecrumplow no one wants a second hand Mercedes Benz in the price of brand new Mercedes Benz. Same thing’s goes for the Rolex my dear .
Omega is better in my opinion. That game Rolex plays is a huge turn off.
