Rolex v Omega
OK...
I bought my first Rolex today, a Milgauss GV It is totally different than my Omegas As I reclined to watch a tv show just now I realized it is SILENT I had to put my ear next to it to hear the escapement at work My GSOTM, as beautiful as it is, echoes ticking noise if my wrist even approaches my face. So does my Bond. So does my Moonwatch. I have always been an Omega value fan but this is a major feature in Rolex's favor that isn't often discussed |

I'm not sure if that is good or bad?
I actually noticed the same exact thing with a new sub. I personally like the feedback, but can see the appeal of the silent machine as well. It definitely speaks to how well a rolex is sealed.

Snap. My sub-c is silent unless I train to hear it.
My manual seamaster (cal.285) was loud, very loud, but the connie (561) almost as quiet as the sub... Being used to vintage watches I have noticed that I do have 'phantom' ticking going on now though! Yikes! |
