Has the Rolex Daytona Been Left Behind? | Watchfinder & Co. 

beautiful pieces

It’s named Tim Mosso from Watchbox. He is the walking watch encyclopedia. Still love this channel though !

Franz Jäger you forget the pontif, the guru, the gouverneurs gouverneur. AC3 archy luxury

stefan van oss no way

+stefan van oss Tosser!

stefan van oss, Don't be silly.

Michael Williams I love the fact that is so low profile that you can’t be worried about being robbed for it. Very stealth like feel to it

Geniusclicks absolutely! but mine is still insured. hehe

Is it a lightweight watch?, do you feel comfortable wearing it? By the way good choice.

can you get a stainless steel or titanium strap for the grey side of the moon to match the face? then I would definitely buy as i prefer a metal strap

@@jfiazy are you absolutely sure about that? Have you had in on your wrist? The leather is SO COMFORTABLE and it suits the design of the ceramic bezel so much better than any metal strap could in my opinion. Also, by going with a metal strap, you kind of contradict the advantage of the lightweight bezel weight.

My grandfather had an Omega Constellation he bought in the 50's and kept it until he died, but my uncle lost it. Great watch, better than the Rolex his friend owned. People think Rolex is best because of their great marketing and overpricing, but Omega was and still is better.

Aditya Santhanam my great aunt had a Rolex in the 40s, but her uncle lost it. Great watch, much better than omega. People think omega is better because of people named Aditya and bc James Bond wore and bc if it’s great marketing, but the Rolex is just a better watch.

@@ESW206 disapprove!

Erick W Rolex was never, the final word in quality or aesthetics. It has become what it is today through successful marketing and branding strategies. And let’s not forget the high demand generated by the nouveau riche who have almost no idea what they’re buying save for the name and logo which they so desperately want on their wrists. I wouldn’t wear it if it was gifted to me primarily because I find it’s appearance boring, cheesy and even unpleasant at times. With their boxy cases and narrow, almost feminine, bracelets.

Thanks very much!

Thats, in fact, true! This guy is smart as fuck. His voice so sweet and humble that he could tell you "you are going to die in seven days" and it still would sound like "amazing grace" to you!!!

*micro lense panning over a spatula* “And the grill 3000 takes its intricate complications to a whole new level”

That’s absolutely true.

The most innovative is Sky-Dweller

But it's hard to get and that's what rich people care about. Do you think rich fuck No. 20281839 cares about the movement, heritage, etc?

No, is their price

Yes but Rolex were the first mainstream company to use ceramic bezels and now all companies that make sports watches use them. It was a big innovation.

The 70 hour power reserve is nice.

@Richard Westwood if you buy your watch as an investment and not because you want to use the watch. Then i agree with you go with Rolex and make money.

ChiTownTx You sir, have put my thoughts into words!

There is only one Speedmaster and that is the Pro with the hesalite lens. All the rest are Speedmasters but in name

But why would you want Omega to be viewed as "equal" to Rolex? Then car salesmen, golf players, pimps, and rappers would wear Omegas. That would be a reputation disaster Oo I still feel like Omega tries to balance their attempts at being more popular and appealing to enthusiasts pretty well.

They come up with limited editions so that they can keep the Speedmaster Moonwatch as is. True as close as it can to the original. If it's not broke don't fix it. Omega knows some people will get board of it, and marketing can go so far before people just don't notice. This where the limited editions come in. Omega changed things up every year to two. Original Omega Moodwatch owners will be drawn to buy the limited editions, collectors will always collect limited rare watches, and people who want something different but want Omega.... It's a win win for Omega and everyone. Since they don't have Rolex marketing (Hollywood, luxury sporting event sponsorship). Omega has the resources to change and upgrade their product. Rolex relies on holding back, keeping production/manufacturing a top secret, "the best watches" mentality of non-watch consumers, plus the reputation of being expensive and only for the wealthy. Rolex (as a owner of a few Rolex watches) IMO and my experience Rolex is not as accurate as it claims to be. Yes Rolex are tough watches, they are timeless classics. Yes Rolex holds it value really well, as long as you sell on Ebay or as a private sale (never sell back to an AD or pawn shop). However, for all the fame and hype Rolex has, it does not live up to it. It only lives up to the stigma of a rich mans watch. Which it never was before the mid 80's. Rolex like Omega were tool watches with a few luxury references mixed in with the sport watches. I am a fan of both. I'm a Date Just/Explorer guy, but don't care for Omega dress watches. I'll take a Submariner over a Seamaster any day. I'll take a Speedmaster over a Daytona ANYDAY. I'll take vintage Omega over vintage Rolex because Omega has so much more to offer and you can find working vintage pieces at reasonable prices.

@@ralfybaby snob

Quentinho King How do u like the size of the DSOTM?

The average person doesn’t even know omega. Rolex is known to every person on the planet. Rolex has brand recognition that nobody will ever surpass ever. When you think of expensive watch the average person thinks Rolex. That will take something massive to change. Right now omega just isn’t in pop culture like AP Rolex and patek are. Omega is a low end enthusiast brand right now. AP in particular I think has gained massive main stream recognition recently. Omega just doesn’t have that high end sexy image that other brands do. It for sure sells to enthusiasts but not the average person with money.

@@domnoya4130 omega has a 70% brand recognition. Rolex has a 96%. Not hard to change. Especially when you can buy a omega upfront and not have to wait 2 years.

David the fact that you are celebrating the comparison of Omega and Rolex, shows how far Rolex has left Omega behind. The two brands were considered equal or in fact Omega was better. Speedys outsell Daytonas considerably back in the 60s.

@@domnoya4130 i was about to write a longer response to you comment but it wouldn't do any good. Rolex is good at one thing and that would be brainwashing people and advertising products... and that is about it. Regarding the recognition of Omega i do have to disappoint you, everybody that watches the Olympics knows the name Omega. All the best to you

@@olivermann5026 Yeah it's 70 % vs 96 %, BUT it's 70 % vs 96 %. So IT IS hard to change. It's in every part of our World... quality, vaccination, recognition, points in a test, etc.... until 80 % CAN be difficult, but it's not that difficult. The difficult part starts after that... Btw. the Brand recognition and that you can buy a Omega easier means not the people will buy it....

Thanks very much! We don't have the info on the track any more unfortunately, got it a long while ago

Literally was looking at one yesterday. I use it had more water resistant and omegas water resistant pushers. But wow im really debating picking one up this week

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

@Jake Rose - I agree but it is fiction - “watch lovers” would go for the better history and watchmaking and choose Omega.

Well, I am Swiss and grew up in the 1970s where Omega (and Tissot) were almost synonymus for the Swiss watch industry. Omega was founded in the very same year as modern Switzerland (in 1848). In my mind Omega always was "above Rolex"! I don't care about the hype and therefore the non-availability of Rolex models in general. (Maybe Omega would suffer the same problem if their models were as asked as Rolex' models. Luckily Omega does not suffer this problem.) I'd chose Omega over Rolex like 007 (James Bond) since 1995 (Pierce Brosnan)! 😇

The superior mechanism.

Ilestun the master chronometer is better than Rolex’s movements which are also exceptional

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching! Alan Davies, er, the narrator has declined to comment

😂

Interesting to hear an owner's perspective, thank you. These watches are so similar yet so different. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! We shoot with an Ursa Mini 4.6k, with tungsten through silk for lighting

You have a point but I would only take the Rolex to sell it and buy the Omega.

Id take the Rolex but only because the speedy would be too big for my wrist

People are only grabbing the Rolex to flip it, so they can then buy other watches.

@@rsr789 Yeah, that's the only reason. Not the iconic, classy design that doesn't try too hard.

John Morrison DSOTM is a fantastic watch - congrats, I recently acquired a Panda, yes the bitch was expensive, but am going to enjoy nevertheless

Who cares, watches nowadays are just a jewel and a status simbol

Thanks for watching! Ceramic is brittle, but it still needs quite the impact to damage it. A steel watch wouldn't look too pretty either!
