This £6,500 Omega Is Better Than A £23,100 Rolex | Watchfinder & Co.

@@raksh9 haha good one! One of my favourite comedy movies.

When you are on a budget omega is a great choice

@@thomasbeatty8371 You call a $7000 watch being on a budget? The Omega Seamster is technically a much better watch period.

RVSM Airspace Yes and no. In the end, Rolex is as accurate and just as sturdy. But the Seamaster is more intriguing and far less costly. I like the blue version.

I believe that Rolex will sit up there with Patek and AP, then Omega will take it's current place. Around 2025 maybe!

Great choice!

I.D. Kline always try them on first and your right a watch that’s to big for your wrist looks awful. But in this case the watch dose wear small for it’s dimensions along with the regular Seamaster. It’s because the lugs are really short and the straps and bracelets drop straight down off the lugs. I bought the regular new Seamaster in blue and it’s awesome. The best and most accurate watch I’ve ever owned 👍🏼 if you have small wrists try one of the mid size Aqua Tera watches. The new one is stunning 👍🏼

@@IDKline passive aggressive much?

Daytona 6263 I disagree that 36 is a women’s watch but do agree that most the “wears small” comes from the thin wristed among us. I’d rather people just say they think it looks good on them than try to justify wearing a dinner plate by suggesting it’s only a salad.

So funny coz I've got the 41mm spectre and just got this one,there feels absolutely no increase in size whatsoever while on the wrist. Stunning watch!

Rubber strap is perfect Steel bracelet it comes with too heavy

Agreed

Not at all. The Rolex market is a complete farce right now. People have totally lost their minds.

@@romulus1300 They have trebled in cost in the last 15 years. Mind you, what would have bought a Rolex 15 years ago now buys a Tudor Pelagos, which is a seriously good piece of kit. I just don't understand where the Rolex market is going but it seems to me to be massively overheated. Im sticking with my Omega Seamaster GMT.

O.o LOL Not sure what that’s got to do with anything.

No, im abandoning buying a Submariner and leaning towards the Seamaster 300 (the vintage looking one). I just can't pay what Rolex is charging now for a STAINLESS diver. Its just gotten insane. Plus Omega has come a long way. I wish they'd ditch the helium release valve (or at least make it flush like the Sea Dweller). But the vintage 300 is beautiful so I dont think I'm going to be disappointed.

Update.... On February 19th my AD called and I picked up my Rolex 116610LN Submariner . 7 Months but it seems to be worth it.

@@TZOID08 because you bought 3 tudors, they called you for this reason.

@@TZOID08 wow didn’t realize there was a long waiting list for a black dialed sub. I figured the waiting list was for hard times find Rolex’s like the blue faced sky dweller and the Pepsi

@@JL-rx7ou All Rolexes have long waiting lists at an Authorized dealer for maybe the exception of Ladies watches , Cellini line and Precious metal and diamond watches. That's why the Flippers and Grey market are charging so much. I would never pay over retail myself.

@@TZOID08 yeh I hear ya. Best deal I’ve gotten on a Rolex was my two tone gmt master 2 that I traded in not long ago for a two tone sub but the ultimate deal I got was on my gold Rolex oyster quartz. I got it from a AD with both boxes snd papers and a warranty for an amazing price. When I asked about it and locked in the price the very next day on their website the price was raised over 2k to match market value. But I got it for the price I enquired it for.

_bad or just get a yacht master that isn’t solid gold

@@jamesbizs That bezel is so unique no one else does it or has ever been able to do it. Not

@@faizkazi8247 Pagani design copied it lol

@@jamesbizs "affordable" yacht-masters have solid platinum bezel tho))

For me, best bezel is not bezel, Rolex explorer

Your right.

@@MrInzeo you're* As much as I love Rolex, I must agree. $23K for this is insane and I find myself really hard pressed trying to justify a purchase like that, unless you're counting on the prices to keep hiking up. But I wouldn't buy this particular Omega either, simply because it does nothing for me, and I've no interest in buying a $6.5k watch just for the spec sheet.

Casios are killing omegas lately. The specs on ny gshock humbles any auto movements lol. U cant really analyze luxury watch brands from a utilitarian point of view man.

@@user-ir7cd6qi7u hey, having those specs on a mechanical timepiece is still really cool. As pointless as it is, it's a sign of ridiculous craftsmanship ability on Omega's part. I guess that's one of the main reasons why we like luxury watches in the first place. Just having something simple completely overdone for shits and giggles.

Of course I can. I'm untitled to my opinion. I have a g shock but we are talking about luxury automatic time pieces. No place for a digital watch.

yep, so true

Especially if you buy Rolex from watchfinder. They massively overprice everything over retail then make videos about it !

@@theonlyredspecial they won't be selling much in the next couple of years

@barchenko certainly not worth anywhere near the price multiple here. the Rolex bubble is well and truely burst with the global recession now in any case.

@barchenko shit is real

Maybe there is nothing to see?

Yvan Glav oh no, they aren’t going to like that.

But you’ll see the very average finishing

Superutubeking Rolex doesn’t need to do shit. They are in their own market at this point

@@yvanglav4344 there isn't their movements are sturdy and well built but nothing to look at.

No one cares about Omega though - its like Rolex' jealous loser wannabe cousin

@@stanwilson7040 are you sure about that?🤔

@@stanwilson7040 Lol it's the next Rolex wait and watch, let's talk in 20-30 years.

@@marcusskyfall Yeah 100%

@@faizkazi8247 Yeah right - Omega has been saying that for decades and they're making you drink the koolaid

They unfortunately discovered Patek Philippe... Now I understand not everyone loves Patek Philippe due to their prices but I think everyone can appreciate the perfection of their watches. What I hate about these rappers and young kids/adults who follow them is that they don't appreciate the expensive things they buy. All they look at is the price tag and think it has value. It's infuriating. They don't understand the significance, craftsmanship, perfection, and the thousands of hours that go into each time piece. Luckily I don't think Patek Philippe will ever become Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or any other designer or "hype-beast" thing. It's too Prestigious. Rolex has always been a marketing brand so I don't think they mind, in fact they probably want it. Hopefully it doesn't taint Patek and especially Omega. I don't think it will ever get to Omega luckily. Their prices aren't high enough. They have the prestigious quality of the build and mechanism but luckily rappers and other kinds of media don't give a shit about that because they're too stupid to understand or appreciate it.

Amen

​@@AndreasTunneyomega has several watches on the $100,000+

I want a Rollie, Rollie.... 😂😂😂😂

Same thing happened to just about every other "popular" Rolex model. Daytonas were the first to go, even though they were never "easy" to get in the 21st century, it became impossible without a significant purchase history. When people couldn't get Daytonas, the GMT Masters and Hulks went. Then the plain jane Sub. Then the Explorer I. The Polar Explorer II, Datejust 41 Blue dial. Hell, now even a white dial OP39 is on a short waitlist in some places. Insane.

Just got one as well and am impressed how nice it looks in real. The 43,5 does not look big. Really happy with the Omega! The ceramic gives it a singular style!

Ollie I tried one on a few years ago and I loved what Omega is doing with their leather straps. They have them with a sturdy rubber backing to ensure the strap is more long lasting.

George Yang completely agree, I believe mine has a crocodile leather outing supported on the rubber strap. Really comfy and no issues when wearing in water. Only slight issue is that the watch wears larger on the rubber strap than on the metal bracelet

Yeah it's wonderful. If you want a ten-pound watch....

Great choice friend!

Me too,I received mine a couple of days ago it's a stunning watch!

I tend to agree. I have a Rolex sub and there's only a GMT and yachtmaster II on my list. But with Omega there's the Planet Ocean varients and metal choices, Speedmaster, Aqua Terra and it's various combinations. It's very hard to narrow down to just one model.

sidesauce should’ve gone with an omega

@@sidesauce a very good video thank you for sharing. The bracelet is more dressy and the case is smaller. The white Yahtmaster that was shown in the beginning of the video is more along the lines of what they should have stuck with IMO. But that is my opinion. I wont be able to afford either anyway :/. Cheers Brother!

@@sidesauce had they removed that atrocious cyclops I would have agreed with you 100%. It's like they are too scared of deviating too much from what has worked for them in the past. Yacht master cases and lugs are betrer proportioned and more fitting for the oyster bracelet over that of Subs & GMT Masters. 1 of 3 Rolex watches that ever grabbed my attention.

I guess then again I could say my phone tells the time and does a bunch of other things soooo.

Ashish Patel they’re not equal because the both tell the time. If you think that, then you have no interest in buying a watch. This is why they’re equal; The finishing is of a similar standard. The Omega has the better 8806 co-axial movement with a sapphire case back. Both use ceramics. The Omega has the more impressive dial. The detailing is slightly better on the Rolex. Rolex is the better brand*. *Though not from a horological perspective - Omega is by far the more important brand - but from a status perspective. Conclusion: The value of the precious metals, the status of Rolex as a brand and the experience of owning something as aesthetically pleasing as the Yachtmaster doesn’t add up to £17,000. Not when you can get the equally as impressive, equally pleasing Omega.

George O'Shea You tell ‘em George!

@@georgeoshea9961 Ash just had a lesson there.

A Community reference. Ah, I see you are a man of great taste.

Your opinion is pretty good!

I recently had the opportunity to buy either a Sub, or the 300m, and I chose the Seamaster 300m. I got the great white one, and only because I wanted it more...regardless of the price. It's just a better watch for me.

Agreed

Low class comment by a low class citizen

simplyvl I think you’ve described your own comment adequately

@@wengjai Know-Nothing TROLL Acct: No, you're not worthy!

Low class is selling fake Rolex’s... not someone making a joke about it

Yeah that would like nice on the rubber straps. Only thing with this one is the buckle is in keeping with the case (all ceramic). Dont think you could do it with a clasp but either material would defo look 👌

Agreed, I tried this watch on yesterday at an Omega boutique and found the rubber buckle annoying as the first keeper is very rigid. I asked them to find me a deployant and 21mm rubber strap from another model that would suit this watch, and if they could, I would buy it.

100%

Karl Cotleanu I really dislike the Omega Seamster bracelet, however I love this one on the rubber

Pedestrian... an ostentatious wat to say ghetto' 🤣

But it's against your wrist?! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Agreed, it is the new standard.

Giles Lloyd I only have a couple of watches, but when I put on and take off my GS GMT, which has a sapphire caseback, I enjoy taking a look at the movement. Sometimes I use my jeweler’s loupe to take a closer look. Sometimes I give the rotor a few spins by hand. If I had usd$10k to burn I’d get a Glasshütte PanoMaticInverse.

@@cedshred1676 nice

rolex snowflakes

@money shifter caught me xD

Omega could start branding their watches 'Romexa'

I own a Seamaster and I never noticed the presence of the HEV at all. It never bothers me. IMO, HEV is the icon unique to Seamaster and it should stay there (despite practically zero person in the world will use it)

@@Bob.martens LOL, truth be told Omega is one of my fav brand. Love their Seamaster 300, CK 2998, Railmaster and many more. It's just i really dislike the odd crown position in watches, not only in SMP, thats why I got SNZF instead of SKX.

@@hmputra89 while I agree that it does not hinder the wearability of the watch, it's down to a matter of preference. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, having said that I'm just the guy that dislike the odd crown position.

Tout à fait d'accord avec vous je me faisais exactement les mêmes remarques je ne suis pas fan de ces aiguilles et la valve dénote

Where to?

dstfno the bezel goes both directions instead of one? Other than that, they’re super similar.

@IIt's actually a huge misconception that rich people will buy themselves different and extremely expensive stuff just because they can and just to impress others. Yes, the average attention craving celebrity will do that but most of them won't.

@@dstfno Rich people's spending habits aside, historically, the Yacht Master actually is somewhat of a turning point in Rolex's history, where they "announced" themselves as a luxury-first brand, rather than a full on tool watch

Very possible with the upcoming 321

Alvin Alianto : not. Check jomashop, already being discounted 43%. Anyone paying retail for an Omega is a fool.

Agree please do!

Maybe side by side with the Cartier Tank

Laughable. They could make anything in any size and it won’t matter one bit. You’ll still be rocking an Omega and wishing it was a Rolex. Do you actually think they even think about Omega?? Bro they aren’t competing…at all. It’s seriously a different class…just gotta accept it.

@@brucesmith6894 With a name like Bruce, you're probably twice my age, Grandpa.

bluemystic7501 that might be true, but if you can’t see those blemish then my eye sight is still better than yours.

@@brucesmith6894 I'm kidding. But I see what you're talking about. It seems to move with the angle of the watch, even revealing a second 'imperfection' at one point. This makes me think it's just a reflection.

jimmyjay122 the ceramic dial and anti-reflective coating on the glass of the Omega definitely leave something to be desired on all Rolex sport watches. On the other hand, a sapphire case back doesn’t matter that much to real watch enthusiasts who use their piece more than look at it.

Russell Brown Are you serious? Watch enthusiasts that are not interested in seeing whatever is visible of the movement through a clear case back cannot really call themselves that. I cannot even begin to comprehend the contradiction in what you’re saying.

jimmyjay122 I’m not saying I wouldn’t look at the movement if my watch had a clear case back. It’s just not at all something that was high on my list of priorities when deciding which watch to purchase. I was actually really picky about the movements qualities; just not picky about being able to see it.

waiting list is a trick, to the modern technology, there should no shortage of manufacturing goods with good profit.

Its called supply & demand

Planet ocean has 36mm and seamaster 300 (not diver 300m) in the picture has 40mm

Yeah said no one ever, Rolex designs are timeless and the demand for their brand shits on Omega.

@@danielmiller9012 But I said it :(

@@danielmiller9012 go cry to your momma eh poor Rolex fanboi. Let someone else have a personal opinion maybe?

@@danielmiller9012 Demand doesn't equal quality, nor does over inflated price. So be honest with yourself, you're paying to impress other people and wasting money in the process. If you were paying for actual quality, you cannot make an argument that Rolex is worth its price, it's simply not true.

Omega will never be another TAG...btw i love the carrera and the seamaster alike!

I know this is an old quote but SOME differences? Ceramic case, Titanium bezel, ceramic dial, see through caseback, more water resistance, longer power reserve, WAY lighter (205gr vs 108gr), much better finishing, METAS certified movement vs 4r35 that is +45/-35 spd????. About the only comparison is that they're both 43.X mm divers.

That’s ironic…. I just posted the same thing regarding the Grand Seiko…. Great minds think alike.👍🏼

9900 Co-axial movement is hi-tech and very beautiful!
