Rolex Vs Omega, best daily diver?

[choice047]

SD... best watch ever made :)

[aldfort]

Assuming you mean't the SMP then that gets my vote. As to why. Well you either get it or you don't get it. If you don't get it then you never will get it and will always be happy with your Rolex. :wink:

having had all 4 a few times i would go 42 po better lume then the sub no daft cyclops and better strap options

[ghosty]

Which is best, £5k watch or £3k watch?

I took VFM into account and went PO.

Lets look at that value for money ratio in 5 years ;)

It could well work out similar value to buying a fiat family car or a BMW 5 series :twisted: only with the 5 series actually appreciating in value.

Seriously, it is a little tiresome talking about the resale value of Rolex. If the watch is so good,why would you care less what its worth in 5 years- you wouldn't be selling it would you?

Now normally you would be correct, however with the wis it's a different topic, none of us buy one watch and keep it forever, theres always the next one that's better and can be bought by liquidating the current watches. If we were the same as joe average there'd be no SC right?

Submariner for me

[HappyJack]

Bond bezel is bit stiff and I don't like the skeleton hands; Rolex and PO are both better, and the PO is the better all round watch with the 8500 and quick-set hour hand for travel - but I just love the proportions of the SD. Shame you didn't offer 2254/2264, though

I'd go for a Rolex over an Omega and would prefer a Sub... But they're all nice watches, though :)

[davestrong]

Sub no date for me.

[bokbok]

Sub for me :lol:

[PhiloStan]

I've never owned any of the watches in the poll, but voted for SD simply because it doesn't have a magnifier which seems to make it more suitable to a variety of situations and more durable in my opinion.

Plumped for the PO, only because it's high on the want list right now :)

[ralphy]

OP is asking best diver, SD wins, and as for the PO, I dare you to find someone who uses it professionally and has NOT had it leak :D

I didn’t have mine leak, but that’s possibly because I didn’t care for the bezel fading (as a result of diving with it: who’d have thought :roll:)in such a short time and so got rid of it. But yes, I’ve seen the result of water ingress on them.

Voted SD, but close call to the Sub. :thumbup:

Had to be the Rolex Sub for me too!! reasons are comfort, quality, reliability and relative cost to quality ratio. For me the all round winner :)

[Jay-D]

I have actually SDDS, Seamaster Bond, Sub LV and PO :lol: so it is quite hard to decide which would be the one. But I guess my favourite daily diver is Seamaster. And that it BTW the only watch I dived with

[mborkow]

The SD...it just doesn't get any more classic.

[Dibergio]

2254 hasn't been off my wrist for the last 5 months.

[wildheart]

Never owned a Sub or SD as they seem a tad too small on my wrist. I own a SMP 2541 so I voted for it. Liked my 2254 thought it wore better than a Sub for me. Not smitten by the Ocean.
