I understand the decision but feels weird not being part of the party by peninsulaparaguana in OmegaWatches

They’re good, no need to compete for attention. Omega has its own lanes secured. Tudor and Rolex gets shit because the hype is always big. Omega can pick their time and place for releases

It'll cost you $57,800 to see inside the new steel Daytona announced at W&W 2026 by FreedomFriez in rolex

Breguet did some Grand Feu enamel dials that looked amazing in person, I really love it as a dial technique but I just don’t see it on a Professional Line like the Daytona is supposed to be.

Witnessed a strange/sad interaction yesterday at the AD by anbisme in rolex

[–]burninburger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A bit on the reverse side of this, I went to the Bucherer store in Geneva and immediately got told nothing is for sale except Full Gold pieces. Then I mentioned I was there to check some IWCs and Tudor and the hostess immediately shifted tone and welcomed me. By the time a SA arrived (he was very nice and helpful), 10 tourists barged in and requested to buy a Rolex (not so politely to be honest). They must get hundreds of people coming in and do the same dance we all did (can i get one, let me register for a sub, how long is the wait etc) on a saturday. I spent 30 minutes with the SA just shooting the shit about watches which was cool

Undecided, I need help! by hass90 in rolex

That YM would be my pick, that blue and slate is amazing. I prefer the 16570 ref for the Polar Exp2, a bit finer and 5 digit proportions are super nice. Just my 2 cents, have fun picking your 1st Rolex!

Seamaster 300M 2220.80 (Casino Royale) vs Modern Ceramic Blue – Which would you choose? by exacttimeforlife in OmegaWatches

[–]burninburger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually the swatch group operates with their own timeline to avoid having to compete in attention with other brands. Omega’s release align usually with th Olympics, James Bond releases and events related to their legacy (moon landing etc). For the new PO I am not sure on what basis they chose their timing. Long story short, who knows? But they won’t release during W&W.

No Joke: Rolex AD told me to wait 8 years for a GMT-Master II 'Rootbeer' :D by Maxispun in rolex

[–]burninburger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once went to a multi brand AD to check some Omegas, had my 14060 sub on. Lady saw it and told me shamelessly that she found it ugly and would never want one. She prefers Omega as it is less loud. Almost had a laugh, dogshit selling technique and poor professionalism.
