: 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.
This is rather amusing.... I own a Gulfstream G550 and also 2 vintage Rolls (1932v -series and 1952 silver wraith) as well as a late model Phantom coupe. However, my favorite car is my new Aston Martin V-8 Vantage Roadster. I dont really like to wear Armani because I think the silk they use is a little rustic. I actually have my own tailors.... one in Honk Kong and one in London.
As for my watch, I am currently wearing my 6th seamaster Omega for sport and De Ville for evenings with my lady friends.
I've never really had the desire to own a Rolex but I am glad to learn that I could sell it if I ever bought one.
