Need your opinion

If you have to pick one, which one will you choose and why?

I would pick the Rolex. The Omega looks like it got hit by an asteroid. And I am an Omega owner/fan.

Between the two posted it would be the Rolex GMT every time. More pleasing to my eyes than this particular Omega.

I'm not a big fan of meteorite dials so I would take the Rolex GMT if those were my only two options. I like the new rose gold CHNR better, though.

I’m not a big fan of TT watches, especially when it’s yellow gold. So I’d go speedmaster here. If this was a regular SS GMT, I’d go Rolex.

And then it got hit by a truck. Agree, looks a mess. While an omega owner and not a fan of TT, I would still go w the Rolex on this one

Another Speedy to maybe consider - Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 45th Anniversary 311.62.42.30.06.001 with titanium case and a Sedna gold tachymeter bezel...

GMT, meteorite dials are far too gimmicky for my taste.

pound for pound the Rolex hands down... not because this is a Rolex forum but GMT Master is a better watch.

I would opt for a steel version instead like someone else said but if you like the gold go for it!

I'll pick neither. Don't like TT watches and the dial on the Speedmaster looks like a mess. Why not explore more models? Lots to choose from.

Between those two, the Rolex and a lot of it has to do with me not liking the dial on that speedy.

You are comparing 2 different PM watches designed to perform 2 different functions. Are you buying for looks or function?

I like GMT because I work w ZULU time everyday.

Best of luck!

I bought the TTc shortly after it was released.

Still one of my favourites.
