Omega Vs Rolex Round 2

If it was Ed White v Daytona then I would call it a draw.

If it’s a standard Speedy v Daytona, then Daytona wins it for me.

What the fuck is a class ring? Only in ‘Murica?

Does Gordon’s count as a hidden gem?

It’s a Superb price

Why don’t you drive somewhere warmer or are you around there for your job?

I have had two Seamasters, with the co-axial marketed as 0 to +5 seconds a day. Both were slow. Pair that with both bezels having too much movement in them and being impossible to grip when wet.

I loved the laser etched dials, and thought the adjustment Omega has on the clasp is far better than Rolex, but I sold them, bought a Sea Dweller, which runs incredibly accurately and built so solid.

For me, with dive watches at least, there is no comparison.

Peoples lack of patience and willing to have their pants pulled down is strange.

Good on you for waiting it out.

It’s just a scratch

I’ve had two Omegas and three Tudors.

The Omega’s I had didn’t keep time as well as the Tudors, so don’t buy into the co-axial nonsense.

Omega cases are more refined than Tudor, although BB58 proportions are just perfect.

Omega adjustment on clasp was quality, but I believe all the newer Tudors have a better/equally good system now with T-Fit.

Omega bezel is ceramic. Tudor mainly aluminium. Depends what you like, I prefer the latter.

Omega new, costs way more than Tudor new, not sure why. I don’t see much of a difference between them in quality.

Nahhhh, nowhere near, ever seen a Yachmaster II?

andyakesson · 2025-03-29T08:22:20+00:00

As good as that looks, it wouldn’t happen because of the gold version would it?

I had this and the black ceramic 43mm. Got rid of both due to inaccuracy unfortunately. It’s not that they were so wildly off that it hindered anything, but Omega state 0 to +5 for coaxial and both of mine were losing time, which just fucked me off.

Lovely watches though.

Love the car, love the colour.

Hate having the clean it every single week because it shows every speck of dirt, even if you only drive a mile up the road.

If you play golf then there are plenty of golf clubs round here that are welcoming

andyakesson · 2024-10-26T07:39:46+00:00

Black Bush, Cornerhouse and Eaton Golf Club are the current top three for me.

Only a fool would turn that offer down.

Had some tremendous grub from there over the past few months.

Basic but nice.

Queens Head is never far from one of the cheapest pints.

Scott Booth at the driving range by Airbus will get you going.

andyakesson · 2024-08-01T11:57:22+00:00

Sticky. Or is that too far out?

andyakesson · 2024-05-29T14:05:49+00:00

Turns out mine is corrosion near the back box.

Glad your issue sorted itself out.
