    I agree! As a former watch repairman, I definitely would buy an omega over a Rolex any day. Rolex are nice watches, but only come with a 1 year LIMITED warranty. Omegas have a 2 year unconditional (I believe) warranty. Plus they are better watches at least from a repair standpoint. We saw fewer Omegas coming in than Rolex's..Plus be prepared to spend at least 350 tp 400 every three years to have the Rolex serviced by an AUTHORIZED repairman. There are a lot of comparable watches out there....I know a lot of people fall into the Rolex "hype" because of the status, but also look at Ulysses Nardine watches as well. All handmade, from the inside out and also Ebel too.
    Just my two cents.
    Now that being all said, if you are looking at VINTAGE Rolex's, that's different, I would say anything made prior to the 1980's would be a far better time piece than the ones being made today.
    Cheers,
    Chad
