datejust 2 or Omega Aqua Terra Day-Date

seen as this is a rolex forum of course most will vote dj2

Would love to hear from the those of you have both watches plus any pics of the omega

Thanks in advance

Ps pretty much retail for about same price 4800 for dj2 and 4900ish omega

i will be gettin a discount of atleast £500 off each so will pretty much boil down to same price

Dj2 for sure. Omega is a nice brand but I would never pay that much for one.

This. I actually really like a lot of Omega's, but their newest models the past couple years are clearly trying to compete directly with Rolex. At Rolex prices... I'll take a Rolex over an Omega any day.

DJ II, I also learn that Omega doesn't use solid ss links as Rolex does

DJII. Compare side to side and review the pre-owned market to see the difference. Omega is a great watch but for the same or close money I say Rolex.

I had both (the Omega was without the date) and have to say that the Rolex is better in many ways, especially the wrist presence. And I took a beating when I traded my Omega in.

Go DJ2; if you're going with Omega, however, go pre-owned!

I like Omega but the DJ2 would be an easy choice for me.
If you're a fan of both brands, I'd get the DJ2 and add a Speedmaster with a generous discount in the secondary market.

Omega's resale value is going to be in the toilet, so that means you shouldn't pay nearly as much for it as you would a Datejust II. It'd be a pretty big mistake to buy that Omega. The sheer amount of variations in the "Seamaster" line mean you shouldn't bother with them.
