Whenever I walk past a Rolex dealer I see the Sub LV beckoning me at the window!
So my dilemma is: As watch enthusiasts, would you considered it an upgrade if I sold my Omega PO and bought a Rolex Submariner LV or is it just and expensive side step.
I have scoured the discussion forums on this site and others looking for a comparison but the closest I have found is the PO vs the Seadweller (out of my price range) so I am curious about the direct comparison.
I am not the kind of bloke that considers a Rolex a status symbol so take brand recognition out of the equation if you can, I am more interested in terms of the quality and durability of the watch.
In terms of use, I can only afford one watch at a time (at this stage) so I would wear it as an everyday watch. I would wear it to work, at home, when I go swimming (but not diving) and tearing down a hill on my mouton bike! So the watch would cop a bit of a hiding :-)
The PO is holding up pretty well although I have scratched the AR coating on the crystal and since had it replaced.
Your opinions are welcome!

I think you should go for the LV, its very expensive but the feeling of having a real Manufactura on your wrist I think its worth it. That will be my next watch and I think very soon
GL!
