Anyone who thinks Omega is an viable alternative to Rolex is practicing wishful thinking. Omega will sell you as many Speedmasters as you want for $6K and the resale value will never go up.
Rolex will never sell you anything you want. They sell you what they want at their price. That is power.

I have both Rolex and Omega. Love both brands. Hate the fact that I can’t walk into a Rolex store and purchase what I want so my last big purchase was an Omega (at mid tier Rolex MSRP prices) and I’ll wait to see what Rolex does to address their supply/demand issue. Something’s got to give.
And fully agree with everything you said.
