Let the battle begin! Which one would you pick as GADA from these two?

Rolex Datejust 36/41 in green or Omega Seamater Aqua Terra 150M Shades, also in green.

Spec wise the main difference is the power reserve of 70h vs 55h. I prefer the exhibition caseback of the Omega but Rolex has better bracelet and clasp. I really liked the Omega on my wrist when I tried in the boutique but at this level pricewise the DJ comes in the ring. What do you think?

I generally love Omegas, but this is probably one of those instances where I have to recognize Rolex with the Datejust is just superior. Truly one of their most iconic watches and just beautifully versatile.

Also, buying an Aqua Terra at retail prices is insane - as others have mentioned, you can save 30/50% in the secondary market for something like new or lightly used.
