be a badass and get a 1675.
or a 16710 like Chuck. Attached File The choice here is obvious, don't get me wrong I love Omega's but GMT all day. Only Omega that beats a Rolex (based on my opinion) is a Speedmaster over a Daytona. Would take the Speedy every day. With the GMT Master II you can get a pepsi, coke, and black bezel insert and have three different watches. |

I dunno, the co-axial Omega movement is arguably the best automatic out there.

I'd go with the Rolex, a BLNR if you can.
I love the Planet Ocean but the GMT models don't look right to me. |

Spring drive is cool, but not really a completely mechanical movement. The Tudor is a solid choice, but I can hear it now: "Tudor eh? Didn't have enough to get the Rolex eh?" View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

BNIB current diver or GMT- Rolex
BNIB current chronograph- Omega |

I love Omega, but this is an easy choice if you have the dough.

IF you can get your hands on the Rolex, thats hands down the best one.
Omegas just sit on the shelves. They arent selling. |

Omega
But that's just me, as I would never buy a Rolex. Don't get me wrong, have no doubt in their being excellent time pieces, I wouldn't turn one down. I think the name has been over hyped; the "Budweiser" of 'luxury' watches. There are so many other more worthy options out there IMHO. YMMV |

I'm also with you on the Rolex stigma piece. The Seiko suffers the exact opposite issue (which I like), flying completely and totally under the radar despite sporting one of the best movements out there, along with being 100% manufactured in-house. To OP, of those two choices get the Rolex and don't listen to anti-snob snobs. |

Rolex has beat the hell out of Omega in marketing. The newest sport GMT is selling about 80% over msrp on the gray market.

Out of those two watches, I like everything about the Rolex GMT more except the goddamn cyclops. God I hate those.
That being said, I'd still take the Rolex. IMO that Omega is hideous. Now, the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300s...Rolex has some catching up to do in the sexy department. |

I think the Omega looks better. But that just my opinion. Can't really go wrong with either one.

Yeah I've seen vids of the removal. Some say there is always residue. Yes you can replace the crystal entirely. Just wish Rolex would dump it or offer the option. It's a dumb "feature". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |
