I can't agree more with all your comments on pros and cons and especially on the lack of supply of Rolexes Sports models. Even though Omega does beat Rolex on some aspects give and take vice versa. No watch is perfect. However, I've always thought about owning an Omega but never pulled the trigger. I'm an #Rolexfanboy until I seen the white dial AKA The Great White and purchased it on June 13th 2020 from the Omega Boutique at Fashion Valley in San Diego. I was very thrilled then and to this day I am very happy with my purchase. I purchase both bracelet and rubber strap.

I just watched a video, a young fella (Rolex lover) in Dubai wanted a GMT. So he called 100 Rolex AD around the world. Finally found a Rolex AD in New York. He called the AD paid for the watch on the phone. Flew to NY. Bought the watch paid the tax flew home paid the duty and had his new GMT. The guy swore it was a keeper. But to tell the viewers what he did. Cost of airfare, paying the duty. So when we hear about these ADs that do these things. obviously some ADs don't care about loyalty or you have had to buy three watches before your called.How can the average guy with a full time job compete with collectors that have such deep pockets. When will this Rolex feeding frenzy stop?

I love vintage Rolex, I bought a 1680 last year and I'm really excited about the idea that it might have been on the wrist of an actual diver. That's what Rolex was until the 70s, a well made, sturdy upper echelon tool watch. They went the luxury way in the 80s mostly, and the obnoxious way since the 2010s. I love the brand, I've got 4 Rolex sports watches but I agree their selling policies lately are questionable. If they play their cards right Omega can catch up

I don't know if the reply button goes right to the person or not. and they hopefully are the only person reading it. I have made a point to never bad mouth a different watch brand on line. If I talk with someone about my brief experience owning aTudor. The story was with my first watch. My brothers mum and dad were living in Orlando. My dad takes a job in Arabia for an 18 month contract. My brothers and i love to snorkel. Dad dad can you buy me a divers watch. Only if your good for your mother. The contract is over and my dad comes home. Gets to the house before my brothers and i pedal off to school. Dad dad did you get me my divers watch? No i couldn't find one. For a split second my heart sinks. So my dad pulls out a watch. Hands it to me. Now mind you, I'm a kid. Well it was the Rolex GMT. Wow. A new watch. Never realizing what I had. My brother and I had pedaled to to mall to get inside and stay cool. I saw a submariner & a GMT in the window. If I'm correct the GMT was $150.00 now 150 bucks you sure couldn't buy a used car. Today at the AD a new GMT is $9,700 let's round that up to $10,000 it will be more with the tax. My point is. For ten grand you can buy one heck of a really nice used car. Chapter 2. My feelings with what I see at Rolex today. Later on.

I hate to be the person with the not so good news. All indications I've read towards the end of 2020 and the first month of 2021. Rolex is about three months behind due to the virus, christmas and closing the factory the first two weeks January. Which puts Rolex about 200,000 watches behind. So For the person that truly wants their first Rolex sport watch not the flipper. Getting a new watch in 21 from your local AD is slim to non. The feeding frenzy the past six years with Rolex. The twenty something year old That wants a Rolex but doesn't know why they want Rolex. The sport figure along with the Hollywood crowd that all of a sudden need a Rolex has made it impossible for the first timer to get a call from their local AD. It won't be happening in 2021. Maybe maybe one percent will get lucky with a phone call. Plan on 2022 at the earliest. One of the biggest problems is the games Rolex plays. Can't you see. Rolex is the best with marketing. Plus flat out holding back production on sport watches. I have my new omega planet ocean 39.5mm on my wrist. Only a week now. It's fine. I would think the feeding frenzy people want someone any one to notice them. I think the fifty, sixty and seventy year olds could care less if anybody noticed them walking by.

This watch caught my eye a while ago. Tho I prefer it with a black rubber strap with deployment buckle. However I was reluctant to invest at this price point as the watch was a secondary daily wear fun watch for me. Like you I also own Rolex and am fed up with delays obtaining the sports models. As well as the silly pre-owned prices as people flip them (who shouldn’t be allowed to buy them in the first place as they distort the market). So I looked around and saw the new Seiko Prospex King Samurai released in May. The white tapisserie dial is gorgeous and reminiscent of the AP Royal Oak. The date with cyclops window at 3 o’clock is more familiar to me like my Rolex and Breitling. And it’s around £500 so way cheaper than the Seamaster. It makes a great alternative if you don’t mind a Seiko label to Omega and spend carefully. I already own an Omega Speedmaster so having the brand wasn’t as important as having a watch a liked the look of at the price point that suited me. It dives to 200m on a rubber strap with a nice touch of a metal hoop for the end of the strap once buckled. While the Omega dives to 300m in the real world I doubt that will be used by most people who buy a divers watch. Like SUVs that never go off-road, most divers watches probably never go deeper than a pool. And there are much better proper diving watches by Citizen and Seiko if you really need to monitor depth and oxygen use. If you get a chance to compare you might be surprised. Seiko quality is vg too and of course they make their own movements like Omega. With reflected glory from the Grand Seiko brand Seiko is punching above its weight with its new releases.

I really think Rolex should notify their ADs and have the store hold on to the warranty card for a year to eighteen months. Get the warranty card and make a copy front and back for the customer. If the person comes in and starts kicking and screaming, hay this is our policy. If he walks out. the store calls the second customer that person buys the GMT on the spot. This new method would not effect sales in the least. Now the person that genuinely wants a watch stands a chance.

Yea, I pretty much made up my mind not to become impatient waiting for my GMT. When it happens it happens. It's not as if it is my first Rolex. Your right, people may move on to a different watch. I'm very happy with my first omega. I really like the 39.5 600m planet ocean. I can't figure out How the 600m goes to a deeper depth than the 300m. I wonder if the crystal is a little thicker, maybe like Rolex. The twin lock over a trip lock. For the first timer. Please don't buy a Rolex because of the name. The Omega is as every bit as good. Plus you have a choice of half a dozen different styles to choose from. Rubber, nylon or stainless bracelet. My Omega AD here in the desert southwest will have what a customer wants Where as the Rolex AD across the street from Omega has no idea when they will see a sport watch. Omega will work with you on a price.
