How to choose Rolex and Omega?

Regarding the comparison between Rolex and Omega brand watches, many cousins upstairs have given very detailed and clear answers. Next, Zou Sanshan wants to talk about this topic from another angle. Whether it is Rolex or Omega, there are certain differences, but it is most important to buy the one that suits you.

Most of Rolex's styles adopt the traditional classic oyster case design. Needless to say, this classic design itself is synonymous with dustproof, waterproof and durable, but its shortcomings are not without, that is, it will make the whole watch very heavy and a bit "rustic", so in the early years, Rolex watches almost became synonymous with nouveau riche.

On the other hand, some styles of Omega and Haima series will have softer lines. The overall appearance of the watch will be much gentler. So, if you are a clerk, personally, I think Omega is more suitable for you.

In addition, it must be mentioned that Rolex watches, especially Volkswagen watches, are often very difficult to buy. Like the green water ghost, Daytona, etc. , all need to add money to start. On the other hand, except for the limited edition, Omega can basically buy any desired style. Don't worry about whether you need to add money. Omega will obviously have more watches than Rolex, and the range of choices will be much wider.

Most importantly, after trying it on, which style do you think is more suitable for you? Whether they are good or not is the second, and what suits them is the most important.

Xu Bugong: This is what I saw at the Rolex Forum. ...

Why Rolex watches are more influential and valued by people than Omega?

Bar owner:

Difference in resale value.

I don't think anyone will question the quality of Omega, but the key is that Rolex does better marketing than Omega.

Strut99GT:

I totally agree. The focus is on marketing. Another key point that I think is often overlooked is brand consistency. I have an Omega Super Motorized Altman, which has been running with high quality for many years, which is of course the reason why it is highly sought after. But look at the Seamasters hippocampus series that has been on the market for 10 years. They look completely different from modern watches, as do most products of Omega. Constantly updating the design is not necessarily a bad thing, but I think what the market values is the consistency of Rolex. Sometimes I really want to buy a submarine, because I know it will never go out of fashion. And I can pass it on to my descendants in the future, because I know that Rolex will always provide service and maintenance.

Observe:

I have both Omega and Rolex watches, but in the long run, Rolex is of better quality, more reliable and has more room for maintaining and appreciating.

Role update:

It's like the difference between Corvette and Ferrari.

Ferrari's quality and history are its most valuable places. If you don't care about these two points, you will definitely buy Corvette. Therefore, Rolex only did smart marketing, opened the market and guided others, so it was expensive.

In addition, unlike other brands, Rolex will not produce various styles in a short time, but will always focus on classic styles and try not to make or make fewer changes. This practice is of great help to the preservation and appreciation of Rolex watches.

Aiko:

I think the watch made by Omega is good, but in terms of price, I'd rather spend more money on Rolex or Hollysys watches.

dalip:

I really want to give a pertinent answer, but I am ambivalent. I can only say that there is an Omega watch at present and I won't buy it again. Rolex is a leap-forward experience for me, especially in design and overall aesthetics. Omega gives people the impression and feeling that it is indeed a great watch, but Rolex gives people the feeling that it is far more than that. I think I am willing to pay for this special feeling.

Land roaming:

The only thing I really like about Omega watches is Speedmaster Pro, which seems to keep its value in the second-hand market. But I estimate that Speedmasters will reduce its price by at least 50% once it is sold, while Rolex will reduce its price by about 30%. This is the difference between the two.

MYK:

If you compare the Moon series with the Bond series, you will find that Omega is a bit hard, while Rolex is familiar with it.

Bullyterrier:

I bought Bond Hippocampus six years ago, not long after the submarine was launched. Of course, Omega's clasp is better, but it may be the only benefit. When in the water, the Omega bezel is difficult to open, while the Sub can be easily opened. Sub logo with platinum edge is far more recognizable than Omega. My father owns a shipyard now. He likes this watch very much and has been wearing it all the time. But just a few weeks ago, I noticed that the pin on the strap was exposed, just like what I saw on a cheap timer a few years ago. So personally, I will choose Rolex instead of Omega.

Xu Bugong: The following is what I saw in the Omega Forum. Hey hey hey.

Why did you choose Omega instead of Rolex?

Riviera paradise:

I like Rolex very much, and the following products in its current product range:

Explorer 2 with 42 mm dial (I own this watch and wear it now), "revised" 20 16 Explorer 1 (this watch is in my shopping list this year), new version of OP 39 mm dial and 40 mm platinum band date display version. These models are outstanding in their respective fields.

I like Omega fans very much (generally speaking, they make people feel more relaxed and less competitive).

Kevin Boone:

In terms of design, I prefer Omega. They look more exciting and innovative. One of my favorite parts is its lug design, which is beautifully carved and textured. Omega seahorse series is smaller than Rolex submarine series, which is more suitable for my small wrist. The helium escape function of hippocampus series is also very interesting.

Generally speaking, Omega watches are much cheaper than Rolex, so the quality will be correspondingly ordinary. In this respect, the resale price of Rolex watches will be much more expensive. In order to get the warranty service of the brand-new Rolex, it must be purchased from an authorized dealer, which will be more expensive than an unauthorized dealer.

Simon Wen:

I really prefer omega. I think Omega can easily compare with Rolex in terms of quality and their thinking about watches. They just charge a relatively fairer price, and I hope they will never stop doing so.

In terms of watches, Rolex will make many sports watches or at least look like sports watches, with only some extra functions. I'm sure that different series, such as submarine, marine dweller, oyster 39, explorer and Milgause, all have the same movement in different situations. You can also pay 1000 USD for simple additional functions, such as date display. Their daytona cosmograph series is also overpriced. I admit, it does have Skydweller's calendar (this series is also very expensive), but other than that, I don't think they have really innovated for many years. On the contrary, there are many choices in Omega's catalogue, such as moon phase, perpetual calendar and tourbillon.

Francis Nemo Malone:

This is a difficult question for me. I own both brands. I can say that they are all very good products. However, if I have to compare Rolex Arkin with black, I find that I wear Omega Motorized Altman watches more often. In fact, I would think my Omega watch is better than my Rolex watch. Do you know why?

? I wore omega during my expedition in Alaska.

? When I was in the hospital, I wore omega.

? When I am reunited with my family, Omega will be worn on my wrist.

? Omega was with me when we visited the Great Wall in China.

? My dear Omega Motorized Altman Watch and many other adventures.

As far as my Rolex Sub is concerned, I seldom use it, because I think it is more of a show-off capital and can only be used on special occasions. Although I like my Rolex very much, I won't wear it often because I'm too worried. So in this case, I must say that Omega is my first choice for wearing watches.

Stefan Mladenov:

Omega. It has better movement, higher diamagnetic grade (15000 gauss), more diversified design, more reasonable price and very powerful system.

3 1 Stan:

In terms of design, I prefer Omega. I know that Rolex's name stands for quality, but it also has a certain stereotype. In addition, if you wear a Rolex, there will always be people who suspect that your Rolex is a fake. I really hate this feeling.

It happens that there are both die-hard fans of Rolex and Omega in our group. Let's see how they tout their dishes.

First, define a powder.

Rolex and Omega together, naturally choose Rolex.

First, Rolex is a global hard currency, especially Jinlao, and the cash price of pawn shops is higher than Omega. In some formal casinos, even steel workers can get mortgages, but Omega doesn't get much treatment.

The second is that Rolex is more durable. Except cellini, all Rolex are oyster shells, which have excellent sealing, waterproof and dustproof effects. Therefore, Rolex has long given a three-year warranty and a five-year warranty, which means that it dares to guarantee one year more than its peers. It is for this reason that it is not a particularly harsh wearing environment, and basically there will be no problems for 5 years.

The third reason is that the brand value of Rolex is higher, the Rolex auction market is also hot and the price is good. This article is basically empty, which is not very practical for ordinary people to buy watches, but they also feel that they have psychological advantages because of their fame.

There is actually a fourth one, that is, I think Rolex watches are beautiful and durable. It seldom looks beautiful at first sight, but the more you look, the better you look. Rolex has not dared to change much for decades, and it is also confident in the beauty of its own design.

The following are the opinions of Omega students.

I bought the resistor for the following reasons:

First, resistance watches have a long history and have always been a big factory. When Rolex started its business, the resistance pocket watch was already famous all over the world. When Rolex first made oyster shells, resistors had sponsored the Olympic Games. So the reputation of resistors is there, of course I want to buy them.

Second, resistance watches are much better. Sports styles include hippocampus, mobile Altman, dress, flying saucer and constellation. I feel that each one is better than Rolex, and the rebel wins. Seahorses are better than water ghosts. Motorized Altman also has various commemorative styles and shell colors, which are much better than Daytona. ...

Third, cost performance, the resistance of watches with the same function is a little cheaper than Rolex. As a wrist accessory, it has good accuracy and beautiful appearance. Of course, I choose to resist.

These three points are enough, no need for more reasons, just choose Omega.

The above is the evaluation of two fans from the perspective of buying their own watches, for reference only. We know that diehard fans will pick up; But there are also many people who love both, so they buy a few each.

Rolex and Omega are direct competitors, so it's hard to say who is better. Of the two, Omega has a long history, but its product line is huge and its image is young. Rolex was founded at the beginning of the last century, but it acted steadily and hardly experienced great setbacks. Especially after the end of World War II, it became a symbol of Swiss watches by virtue of its waterproof, durable, self-winding patent and the observatory's accurate timing certificate the legendary swordsman.

Although there are many one-to-one correspondence series between the product fans of both parties, such as Haima Professional vs. Water Ghost, Motorized Altman Professional vs. Daytona and so on. I feel that the two companies are neck and neck in professional quality, but people who are sensitive to fashion prefer Omega and conservative people prefer Rolex.

Perhaps because Rolex's gold watch is particularly famous, people still think Rolex is more luxurious even if the price difference between the two is not big. In different people's minds, these subtle differences have formed two camps: labor and Europe. For new watches, the two companies are evenly matched, while antique watches seem to have the advantages of Rolex with a short history, which will inevitably affect people's evaluation of its brand.

For many cousins who are confused when choosing Rolex and Omega, let me analyze and compare the comprehensive situation of these two brands for you, so that you can understand them and eliminate doubts. Let's start now.

Warranty Both brands have a good warranty. Most watch brands have a two-year warranty period, which is the practice in the luxury watch industry. However, for Omega and Rolex, the warranty period is better than ordinary luxury watches. These Omega and Rolex watches have a five-year warranty.

Resale price When you buy an expensive watch, you should consider what you can get. Rolex is better than Omega and any of its brands in this field. Rolex has an advantage in the resale price. They are undoubtedly the luxury watch brands with the highest resale value in the world.

As for resale, Omega itself is not bad. Although the average resale price of Omega series watches may be higher than the worst Rolex series watches, Rolex brand still dominates the second-hand market, and its watches have the highest average price. As you can see, Rolex is a little better than Omega. In terms of average resale value, Rolex is always the best.

* * * Brand awareness with the same characteristics According to Interbrand, the agency can evaluate the brand awareness and brand value of top Swiss brands. Rolex is the most famous watch brand in the world. I know they have 100% international brand recognition.

Rolex can be replaced almost anywhere. Omega is the second famous watch brand in the world, and its brand share is close to 70%. It sounds very different, but it is a great achievement for Omega brand.

The accuracy of both brands is recognized by people, but what about the accuracy of Omega watches? How about a Rolex watch? Both brands are good, or ...

Both brands surpass the recognized excellence in watchmaking and provide extremely accurate timepieces to the highest standards.

If you don't know this, some of the most accurate watch associations are called COSC, which stands for "control? Le official suisse deschronomè tres ",which is what we call a third-party testing laboratory. Because of their high accuracy, they are rated as "precision timers".

So in terms of accuracy, Omega has the highest accuracy in general, because they not only produce mechanical watches, but also produce many quartz watches. As we all know, quartz watches are more accurate than mechanical watches.

Rolex no longer produces quartz watches. It took them some time, but then they turned their attention to mechanical watches that were only used for manufacturing.

Both waterproof and non-waterproof have produced many diving watches with excellent waterproof performance.

You will find that Omega Seamaster Propf 1200 m is located at the top of this waterproof food chain, and its waterproof ability is 1, 200m/4000ft. This brand of diving watches include Seamaster Planet Ocean and Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300m, both of which have helium release valves.

However, Rolex's Rolex deep-sea series does seem to go further, even reaching a distance of 2.7 kilometers, and its waterproof performance can reach 3900 meters/12800 feet.

What kind of diving watch is better?

The performance of Rolex Deepsea in water resistance is better and more impressive than that of Omega Hippocampus propro 1200. Deep diving requires a waterproof depth of at least 1650 feet, and RolecasDipsa waterproof depth of 12000 feet.

Both Rolex and Omega make antimagnetic watches. The Milgauss of Rolex is five times higher than that of Omega. Many of Omega's watches are marked with MasterCoAxial Chronometer or MasterChro, but none of them have the word "an ETAMF" and contain the abbreviation of Rolex High Electromagnetic Radiation. Every electron that people know will not produce such a frequency, and what is the use of this largest mechanical watch? For watchmakers, the cost is higher.

The price difference is at the entry level, and the price of Rolex is higher than that of the new Omega watch. In fact, the cheapest Rolex watch costs about twice as much as the cheapest Omega watch. However, you will see that Omega has been on the rise in the past few decades, but I think they still have a long way to go to catch up with Rolex.

Compared with the PROROF 1200m diving watch made by Rolex, Haiju 4000 series diving watch is as waterproof as Omega, which is 4000 feet.

Comparison between Rolex and Omega

These two brands have launched fierce competition in all aspects of watchmaking industry, but Omega is at a disadvantage in resale value and overall brand awareness.

Some of their iconic watches: both brands offer several iconic watches. Omega has the first watch to land on the moon, which is affectionately called "Moon Watch", while Rolex has a watch. In fact, the Rolex cosmo watch Daytona worn by Paul Newman was recently auctioned for more than170,000 US dollars, making it the most expensive watch ever. You can look at some watches worthy of attention in the following two brands.

Summary:

Both brands have their own advantages, but I will choose Rolex.

First, the two brands are similar in grade, both are so-called classic luxury brands, both are Swiss brands. However, in terms of the price of entry-level watches, Rolex watches are still a little more expensive. An empty watch is around 50,000, while Omega's entry-level watches are around 20,000 and 30,000, mainly because Rolex is equipped with an independent movement, while Omega's entry-level watches are generally equipped with a unified movement. However, Omega watches with their own movement are about 40,000 to 50,000, such as the movement of Haima Watch 8500.

Second, Rolex is more favored by the author because it is relatively durable and stable. The most important thing is that its value preservation is second to none in the industry. Perhaps because of my age, I don't like Jin Lao very much, but I prefer sports and leisure styles such as water ghosts and hillsides. Of course, these watches are relatively better preserved at present. The picture above shows a green water ghost, which is said to be hard to find now.

In the eyes of China people, Rolex and Omega are equally famous, and sometimes they are compared.

(Omega left Rolex right)

Some time ago, Rolex and Omega "bumped into each other" at the auction. If they are really: constantly being cut and confused, they will inevitably be compared.

Rolex 8382 has the same enamel pattern as Omega 2767-6 SC dial. Rolex finally sold for 394,000 Swiss francs, about 2.76 million yuan; Omega finally sold for 97,350 Swiss francs, about 680,000 yuan.

In fact, most people know that Omega will lose, because in this second-hand market transaction, Omega cannot compete with Rolex at all. As a hard currency, Rolex has been "hot" in the auction market.

What is the difference between Rolex and Omega?

(relating to) history

Rolex originated in the early 20th century, when it was still in the pocket watch era. Due to the lack of accuracy, watches are mainly used as jewelry worn by women. Rolex founder Hans? Wells created the world of Rolex in this era.

19 14, Rolex watches were finally approved by the British Calibration Observatory (Kew? "A" certificate issued by the Observatory), which is only used to evaluate the navigation timer at that time. 1926, the birth of Rolex oyster watch marked the birth of Hans? Wilsdorf has made great achievements in waterproof watches.

In waterproof achievement, Rolex is the originator, which is unmatched by Omega.

Omega, founded in 1848, didn't change its fate until 1894, because the world-famous Omega 19 made the movement available, which made Omega obtain the observatory watch certificates issued by the Geneva and London observatories.

In this achievement, Omega is much earlier than Rolex.

In sports

As an important promoter of sailing, Rolex has supported sailing for more than 50 years. Since 1978, Rolex has been the official timekeeper of four Grand Slam Wimbledon tournaments, and since 1967, Rolex has been committed to promoting the development of golf.

Omega often acts as a standard timekeeper in world-class events such as sailing, track and field and swimming. , and often sponsored the European Golf Championships, and won the designated timekeeper of the Olympic Games for more than 30 times.

Celebrity endorsement

Omega is good at packaging its own brands with the light of celebrities, such as George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Zhang Ziyi, Eddie Redmayne and so on.

Rolex doesn't directly package itself with celebrity effects and major events like Omega.

Nevertheless, Rolex will not be eclipsed at all, and even many celebrities voluntarily wear it, which is a kind of free publicity in itself. No matter black hip-hop, gang bosses or rich children, they all regard it as a pursuit. Therefore, even if Rolex does not rely on celebrity effect, it can spread by word of mouth, benefiting from its own word-of-mouth image and quality over the years.

Others like to compare series.

Rolex has water ghosts, and Omega has seahorses.

As a diving watch, many people like to compare the water ghost of Rolex with the hippocampus of Omega. Personally, I think seahorses and water ghosts have their own advantages.

Compared with the waterproof performance, Rolex Water Ghost first introduced the waterproof performance of 100m into the watch field, and later upgraded it to waterproof 300 m, and the king of deep diving of Rolex deepsea, with a depth of 3,900 m, can be described as the "king of diving" in diving watches.

Omega seahorse series diving watches are divided into 300m, 600m and1200m. The waterproof performance is also strong, and the cost performance is good.

Rolex has Daytona, and Omega has Motorized Altman.

Born in 1963, Daytona is not as brilliant as Omega's mobile Altman. Despite the "hardships", Daytona is very popular now.

Daytona, which was born as a racing timepiece instrument, once became a unsalable product for various reasons. Mainly because at that time, everyone preferred old watches with simple faces. Thanks to the rescue of the famous actor paul newman, Daytona instantly became a fashion taste in the eyes of Italians, making Daytona instantly popular. To this day, Daytona is also "a hard-to-find look."

Of course, Daytona will spread far and wide because of the accurate timing.

The sudden fame of mobile Altman is still used to "making a fuss". Motorized Altman was born for racing cars, and the bezel was designed to set the speed scale earlier than Rolex. For a timepiece that sold little at that time, the configuration of antimagnetic, waterproof (200 feet) and shockproof was really a conscience.

1964, NASA collected works from the following 10 watch factories for the moon landing program, and selected the most reliable timekeeping tools. Therefore, only three of the submitted forms meet the requirements of style and trademark. Well, you should have guessed: Omega's Motorized Altman (ST 105.003), Rolex (Cosmic Chronometer 6238 in the pre-Daytona period), Longines (Chronometer 13ZN).

Omega is badly abused. After experiencing high temperature and violent impact, Omega survived. Subsequently, NASA put forward a renovation plan and ordered five "customized models" in the mobile Altman.

Businessmen love Rolex, while scholars love Omega. Men all think that wearing a watch is a kind of temperament, and different watches represent different identities.

Hong Kong people will use Rolex to "save face", and the older generation of Hong Kong people will even think: How dare you say hello to others without Rolex? Businessmen think that the abbreviations "Jin Lao" and "Jin Lao" of precious metal Rolex are homophonic, which will have some auspicious meanings.

Omega's symbol "ω" is the 24th and last letter in Greek, symbolizing the beginning and end of things. The first and last letters represent the extraordinary quality of "perfection, perfection, Excellence and achievement", and interpret Omega's business philosophy of pursuing "excellent quality" and its spiritual outlook of "advocating tradition and being brave in innovation". Can represent the wise demeanor, so it is often the choice of leaders and scholars.

Everyone knows that Rolex keeps its value, and it is more difficult for Rolex to buy the style you like. Then why give up self-esteem and pursue Rolex wholeheartedly?

It should be said that the most successful hunger marketing in this century is Rolex watches. ...

In this marketing, losing yourself is not terrible. Who let luxury consumption is "buying dreams", "getting drunk" and "I am willing"! ! ! [Smile] [Smile] [Smile] [Smile]

Personally choose omega, prefer butterfly series, low-key and connotative. Rolex is too flashy.
