Gee thanks now you have made it much more difficult for me to choose between the two for my next watch.
I didn't notice any coments about out of the box time keeping ability. I've heard that the new co-axial escapement on the Omega is quite accurate.
Having had a SMP for 13 flawless years, Its hard for me to say anything bad about Omega. Except I am appauled that the resale of these watches is dismal, its just plain unfair, given the quality an reliability they provide.
Given the resale of the Rolex and now that I have obtained one, I must say that I will be more inclined to buy their Sub when I decide to get one.
