As incredible as it may sound, your numbers are quite correct. Omega is still suffering in the market place, despite their excellent products

It's not really surprising. When you produce way too many watches and have lower demand, you have to sell them for less, even though arguably they are better than their competition in a lot of aspects. Arguably their new watches are at least 90% as good as Rolex and even better in some aspects, but they are not worth as much.

Well, if you wanted an Omega, you would have bought one in the first place. I have and love my Seamaster. Those two references are amazing, but no way would I ever trade my Submariner for any other non Rolex dive watch.

No I'd never go for that deal although it would be tempting.

As nice as the Omega's are there is no way I'd have made that swap.
In about 2 weeks or less you would have regretted it as soon as the novelty of the two new pieces wore off.

I wouldn't do that trade either. Omegas are heavily discounted in the grey market and are ubiquitous at ADs. Your Sub is the opposite. Adding an Omega piece to your collection at grey prices, sure why not, they're great watches. Replacing a Sub, never.

There is a reason why you bought the Sub and not two Omegas

Not worth the trade imo. It sounds like a trade you would regret quickly. Not that the Omegas are bad, but it sounds like you would be happier with the one.

Depreciating assets (omega) vs. appreciating assets (rolex)
Hell no |

No way would I do the deal. There’s a reason why it takes two Omegas to equal the near value for yours.

The new Aqua Terra on the rubber strap is a great, great watch.
It can be had for a bargain on the used/grey market. So just keep the Sub (which IMO is a better watch than the Seamaster anyways) and then get the AT separately. You'll get the same tech & movement as the new Seamaster, but in a different flavour. I really do think that new AT is great; I want the 38mm white dial version. It's kinda sporty, kinda blingy, casual & luxurious at the same time. It's cool. It's a bit of a shame that Omega is as undervalued as it is; they make great stuff... however, that means we can get it on the cheap. So let's not complain. :) |

What a joke, Sub Dates are easily sold for 10.5 or 11K that new.

Good tactic by the salesman. Pockets $500 for the deal and makes the store thousands in profit. Glad you didn't go for it.
I love my Sub wayyy too much. I'd only trade up for a green or bluesy Sub. |
