I had the OMEGA Seamaster Professional since Nov of last year but decided to ditch it for a Rolex Submariner. Here are some of my reasons
Seamaster
-Resale value is horrible
-Bracelet scratches way too easy with the revised bracelet (cheaper build?)
-Fully wound, it's +3 second/day
-Bezel hard to rotate
-Numbers on the ceramic bezel is painted and can be scuffed off
-Chrome-polished stainless steel surface can show scratches more
Submariner
-Resale value appreciates
-904L SS updated bracelet with solid links
-+1 second/MONTH
-Bezel smooth as butter and grippy
-Bezel Numbers engraved and coated with platinum
-Dial and Hour Markers are Gold
-Lighter, more pleasant to wear
One has to appreciate the quality of materials made to justify buying a Rolex, and of course the price.
You can get an Omega for 15-25% off from your Authorized Dealer but for Submariner they do about 1-5% off.
