I totally get you with the Rolex thing. I would love one and the ones to have that go up in price the best are the stainless steel ones. Although i would have thought the gold ones would be best. I once looked for a submariner and i wanted one built in 1975, the same age as me. Well it took me ages to find one and when i did it was way out of the kind of money i had to pay. It was worth more then a brand new one. There is also a two year waiting list for the new one. I've seen people getting a place on the waiting list then when they are near the end they sell there place in the queue or they sell the watch unworn for more then Rolex do, only you can have it today. The one thing i like about omega is the Rolex submariner only comes in one size, then there is the deep sea which is even bigger. With the seamaster it comes in three different sizes, 40 38 and 36mm cases. My seamaster is the 38mm as i think the 40 mm is a bit big for my wrist and the 36 mm looks a bit like a ladys watch which is a positive note if your a lady who wants one. Can't do that with the Rolex its one size only. Its the same with my speedmaster. I have the 38mm case as i've got small wrists and it looks spot on. But if you have big wrists you can buy 39mm and a 42mm size that i know off. Where the Rolex daytona only comes in 40mm and thats it. So you get a better choise with the omega, you can chose to have a no date, a date, a day date or the triple date. So theres definitely more out there for omega owners to chose from. However, I have a friend with a Rolex Submariner, everybody gathers around his Rolex while hardly anybody takes any notice of my Seamaster. So there can be no argument there, The Rolex is defiantly the most desirable.
