I have and enjoy both but due to recent Rolex acquisitions my omegas are gonna go. It’s a sacrifice but it’s good to suffer a little for something you really want.

The only Rolex advantage is resell. Otherwise, they are entirely equals. |

Just get what you want. If you don't really like it, you won't wear it so what's the point?

You should definitely purchase the watch/brand you want. I’ve purchased 2 Omegas and parted ways with both. I have also purchased 2 Rolex watches and still have both.

This thread is from 2015. It's a recurring topic, I'm sure, but I doubt the OP is tracking this because he is still pondering the question.

Why get an Omega if you can Afford a Rolex..

And the Patek people look at Rolex like they are wearing a Seiko. It’s all relative if money is the measuring stick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Buy what you love at the end of the day but I will say that Rolex has more brand recognition which may or may not matter to you.

Rolex and Omega are just different brands. I respect and would definitely wear both watches but prefer the Omega brand.
Whatever it is that surrounds the Rolex brand is a bit of a turn-off for me. It’s like Porsche owners are seen as a little douchy? It has nothing to do with the car itself, it’s the people that buy it to make a statement without having any idea what they are driving. |

I'm sure the OP has decided by now. But for those of us still thinking about it, a person might get the Aqua Terra because it is available in a size (38mm) that that the Datejusts are not.

It's like asking: "Why buy a BMW when you can afford a Mercedes?"
It's because I like the BMW better. |

Just because they say it's a 36mm doesn't mean it wears like a 36mm (because of the dial, the colour, ...). People get too caught up with numbers.
