As an Omega fan - It's a poor trade.

MoosicPa · 13 February 2019, 10:59 AM

Never, bad deal for you.

I'd probably have considered it for 4 Planet Oceans. Their resell value when you leave the store would net you about a grand over inflated SS sub prices.

Vanmarsenille · 13 February 2019, 11:06 AM

It's a no from me. I owned an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra not entirely dissimilar to the one in your picture, and eventually sold it as I rarely wore it, in part because I felt it was inferior to my Rolex watches in almost every way. That is just *my opinion*, however it is the only watch I have ever flipped.

irate.alien · 13 February 2019, 11:16 AM

I love Omega and I really like the folks who run my local Omega boutique, but unless I win the lottery, there's no way I'd pay MSRP for an Omega.

Kamen · 13 February 2019, 11:21 AM

Like many have said before me; I would never do that trade. Ever.

Seibei · 13 February 2019, 11:40 AM

I great watch is better than 2 good ones. You can't wear 2 watches at the same time.

Omegas are regularly discounted.

SS professional Rolex watches are regularly sold above retail price.

I actually find it incredibly cheeky of them to ask you for $500 to take the Rolex off your hands and give you the 2 Omegas.

Always choose quality above quantity.

Quality over quantity

Ah .. . No. Omega makes a nice watch, but you can get a very little used one for $3k. 9mega tech is great, resale sucks.

dkg1616 · 13 February 2019, 12:48 PM

Ya no way omega is a different class

Chaching · 13 February 2019, 12:59 PM

Oh HELL NO!

inadeje · 13 February 2019, 01:01 PM

Omegas are worse than cars...as soon as you leave the store its -50%

Hollie_Rollie · 13 February 2019, 01:06 PM

Nope! You can pick up the new Seamaster brand new for less than 4K. I’d just buy thag outright somewhere else

That’s what I did

No chance. I would have been appreciative of the offer, but no way I'm making that trade.

Yobber76 · 13 February 2019, 01:13 PM

Keep the Sub, you can always get an Omega down the line

lemaitre · 13 February 2019, 01:15 PM

You did the right/smart thing

Bladeshot · 13 February 2019, 01:20 PM

Nope. I have both a 116610 and the Blue wave dial SMP 2018. The SMP is a catch and release for me. Not nearly so satisfying to wear as the Rolex, and the Omega lume is not as bright as Rolex. SMP is a cool watch, but it won’t stay. Good call. Glad you walked away. Omega can be had at a discount, new, and buying preowned is even more affordable.

Sub getting hydrated.

dtwer · 13 February 2019, 03:04 PM

Good thing you didn’t take the bait; would have been a foolish trade. One appreciating piece for two depreciating pieces that are valuated at their highest, that’s some some cunning math!

Beauty! What do you think of that helium escape appendage? That may be the “feature” that prevents me from picking one up.

I don't think it's even possible to pay list price for an Omega, I was looking at an AT and the salesman offered 10% before I even tried it on the wrist.
I do love the AT line but even discounted I'd be thinking how that money could go towards what the heart really wants, the crown.
On paper omega's are excellent and dare I say it better value and specs for the money.
Stuff that deal.

sager · 13 February 2019, 07:48 PM

No way I would do it.

Onequik135i · 13 February 2019, 09:39 PM

Good call, I’m more so a fan of the earlier Omega’s. The newer ones seem to be all over the place.

toolr · 13 February 2019, 09:47 PM

Nope

Batmannr1 · 13 February 2019, 09:54 PM

Maybe when one of the omega watches is a 2017 speedy tuesday. That is a modern speedmaster which comes close to a SS Rolex sportmodel resale value.
I can sell my 6 months old Sub date for $ 9,2k

You can never depart a Sub , not with an Omega x2
Your sub will always hold value if not appreciating due to Rolex price increase . Stick with your Sub and enjoy it :)

Buy both for 3k a piece, they give discounts on these (at least I heard).
Keep the extra money in your pocket.

Someone would have to give me a sub to make the trade, but I'd do it.
