>>> Why my six Rolexes are sitting in the watch box!

This is the reason.

And guess what - it is actually possible to buy new at an AD near you. :)

Hopefully that madness will never befall Omega (or Tudor, for that matter).

Why would you give a crap whether or not they are highly sought after? I buy a watch because I like it, not because the bleating sheep all tell me I need to love it.

I buy watches for the same reason, I’m saying I want OTHER people to see the value in them the same way I do, cause Omega deserves it and I want the company to be successful so they will keep making watches at this level. I don’t want the company to fail or to have to change their strategy because they don’t sell enough.

Nice! I think it's Omega's best diver since the 2254.50. Enjoy.

Very nice choice.

Or one can buy online with free shipping and PayPal with no extra fees...

I also like their white dialed version too...

Very nice!! I was close to pulling the trigger myself, then saw the white dial/black rubber option so will be waiting until November when that configuration is released to decide.

Damn, didn’t know about this one coming out. Love the blue/silver combo, but may pickup this black/white once it comes out.

OK - I was adding things to a cart to test the ordering system but didn’t try to add that one.

Well...at least it’ll BE available!

Rolexes have become trophy watches. Meanwhile, Omegas are perfect tool watches. You can't beat the accuracy of the co-axial movements! Omega is an amazing brand and I'm glad they are somehow underrated and not sought after as much as Rolexes.

The good news is you CAN actually wear a Rolex as easily as an Omega. And they look better. Nothing against Omega, they are fine watches. But they are not a Rolex, and this IS a Rolex forum.

This post is silly.

So in a sub forum for people who don’t just drink Rolex Kool aid you post “a Rolex isn’t an Omega” and it’s silly to post about Omegas in a sub forum for Omegas welcome to TRF you will fit right in
