[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP’ you wear an Omega because you can’t afford a Rolex. Just admit it…..[/quote]

[b]Stupid post by a sad striver who knows nothing about watches.[/b] [/quote]

+1. My DH has watches from IWC, Omega. A. Piguet, and Blancpain. His favorites are the IWC and the Omega. He thinks Rolexes are for flashy strivers who don't know much about luxury watches. [/quote]

Nothing wrong with those other makes but [b]if he thinks Rolex isn't good, then he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.[/b][/quote]

Agreed. Apparently haters gonna hate. [/quote]

LOL. Some major logic failures here. No one said that a "Rolex isn't good," people said that they are flashy and, in the watch world, associated with strivers. In contrast, PPs actually said that Omegas are for those who can't afford rolexs, which is just wrong. [/quote]

The post said it was for "flashy strivers" who "don't know much about luxury watches." This is wrong. Some, yes, are flashy, but many are not. (If they are more [i]recognizable[/i], it's just because the designs are now so iconic.) The main point, though, is that they are actually really, really good watches. People who don't know anything about watches think Rolexes are great. People who know a little bit about watches think Rolexes suck. But people who know a whole lot about watches recognize the quality. They're not Patek and they aren't trying to be, but they do what they are intended to do very, very well.[/quote]
