Thank you!! I just love Rolex watches...of all the watches I have to wear, they are my favorite.
I love it and get a lot of admirers
Thank you!!
Do you find the YM too heavy? I want this watch (the SS and Platinum but it is quite heavy). What about the 31mm? Is that lighter? Would you consider weighing them and letting me know?
Hello all,
Was looking at getting my wife a 31mm Rolex Datejust with Fluted Jubilee like this one:

However also looking at this Omega...

She likes the 30+ mm size better than the smaller, knowing this is a Rolex post but still wondering opinions....also any owner thoughts on 31mm size? I normally post on watch forums but that is mostly guys, any ladies opinions appreciated
Thanks

Not a fan of the markers on the Omega but that's just me. I'll go with the Rolex if that helps
Those were exactly the watches I was debating myself when I was shopping. I chose the 31mm Rolex, white dial with Romans (my dial was a more modern version of this one, though, without the outer rim of small markings).
The Omega was very unimpressive to me, personally, in person. It's important to see them in real life and not rely on photos. Has she done so? I was all set to love the Omega but did not. Also, at 30mm, it wears just a little smaller than that Rolex.
The 31mm is a great size.

thanks all, she has seen and tried on both, she doesn't seem to care about brands and if anything would rather having something that isn't a Rolex simply for the sake of not being a Rolex, however with that said she did seem to gravitate more towards the jubilee bracelet and the romans on the Rolex as she felt it was a bit dressier than the Omega. It was a shame to me the Omega doesn't have polished center links as that may have made a difference, though she did seem again to prefer the more complex looking bracelet of the Rolex as she did not like the more plain oyster style Rolex bracelet.
Too small! I have a 36 datejust and it's the perfect size. I also borrow my boyfriends 41 often. I think the trend is for bigger watches lately
I was looking at these exact two watches but in the next sizer bigger and ended up going with the Cartier ballon bleu. The omega one is beautiful and love that you can see the insides of the watch on the back. I also like how it only needs to be serviced every 9 years and has a 5 year warranty vs rolex's 2. If you are thinking of a quartz model, I think it is half the price as the automatic. Having said all that, I would lean to the Rolex if its her first high end piece. It also has a much better resale price.
Hi, I had the same dilemma in choosing between a rolex datejust and the omega aqua terra you are debating! Both are wonderful and I'm sure either one would make a great watch! I asked the AD sales to take pictures of the watch on me and compared the photos side by side. For some reason, the pictures feel more objective over staring consistently at the mirror LOL
Originally I opted for the Rolex but after running it through my mind and my personal lifestyle, I preferred something quality but more subtle (i.e., I feel the Rolex was a bit too much in the face - but that's just me because I prefer a more subtle look) whereas the Omega style is a bit more simple and elegant. True, Rolex has better resale value but for me I wanted to wear it daily for several years.
The AD also showed me the aqua terra with MOP face and diamond markers. For the same MOP face and diamond markers I would have to pay Double at ROLEX and so I finally opted for the Aqua Terra. I love bling, but would not necessarily want to look bling all the time so this watch seemed to do the job for both work and on those days I would just wear jeans. I guess both look great dressed up or casual.
I find that the men's watch forums have a more detailed and technical view on both watches but at the end of the day, you should try both and see which one sings to you! I've attached a copy of the watch I purchased and very happy with my choice. Sorry the camera is not that great on my MacBook. An Omega Aqua Terra with MOP and diamond markers. I notice that most of the beautiful girls in this forum prefer Rolex but for me, I preferred this look with my work and casual more than the Rolex. But definitely you can't go wrong on either one! Let us know what you pick!!
