ROLEX vs OMEGA

I can't believe that you Omega owners feel so threatened by one Rolex poster!! I received 9 e-mails about this topic. What are you scared of? The truth? Tell you what, go try and sell one of your Omegas and see for yourself what the reaction is. People, especially dealers in second hand watches, are not interested in Omegas. But when you say "Rolex" all ears are pricked. Did anyone ever took your arm and said "I see you are wearing a Omega"? Never. But boy, oh boy, it's happened to me so many times already and I've only had this watch now for 2 months. It's like a Rolls Royce and a Jaguar. People don't notice you if you drive a Jaguar....I know, I drive an S type. But, when you drive a Rolls, even if it's old, people notice it immediately. Second hand value of a Jag is bad, ask me, I'm driving an S type, but buying a Rolls is making an investment, same as buying a Rolex.
