I think the whole thing goes down to exclusivity...hence my question: how much of the 8500 movement is based on the ETA mechanism? I read and read and read on the internet, i had long discussion with the dealer but it still isn't clear. and i think this is a crucial point: rolex makes a movement that is available in that watch and that watch only. omega is taking parts from fabrication lines and is part of a huge corporate group that owns swatch and several other brands. it's a bit like a porsche cayenne: it is a vw touareg with better finish...but still a vw. it goes back to even rolls royce ghost: a bmw 7 series with a different body. i think omega is in this territory. as for rolex, i think they are like a 911, a unique car that hasn't changed much over the last 40 years but it's still amazing.
Please feel free to challenge my point. i love both the submariner and the planet ocean, the only problem with the latter is this ETA movement that you can find in Gucci watches.
thank you.
