I've owned a few of both, modern and vintage. I currently have a December '68 1675 GMT Master and a January '69 145.022-69 Speedy. I don't think there is any quality difference between them, though the Oyster bracelet is nicer than the 1171 (the Oyster I have is a newer one, installed in the early 80s, so that isn't fair). They do wear very differently. one thing to be cognizant of is that adjusting most Omega bracelets is much fiddler than Rolex bracelets, and many Omega bracelets don't have micro-adjustment in the clasp.
