: 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.
So what you are saying is that you like Rolex because you like people to notice your watch. WE figured as much and this is why you got the reaction you did from this forum. Oh, and you still haven't presented any valid argument for the better VFM post you made earlier. What you have stated above is that Rolex is more recognizable than Omega. No argument on that one.
By the way, no one notices a JLC, Patek, VC either. I would hardly mention Rolex in the same sentence with these watches. Oh, go have a gander at the secondary market for Rolls. They might retain 80% of their value, but 20% loss on a $150k + car is not a good investment, a poor argument at best.
