A community for watch & horology discussion.
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?
Personal preference, I wouldn’t buy a Dayejust with a smooth bezel so strictly from pics I’d go AT
Rolex is a better more comfortable and classic watch. If they were the prices listed here, it would be a no brainer.
DateJust is so classic.
The AT and its not even close, though your personal taste will factor a lot into it
Yeah that omega should be about 1.5k lower to be worth it.
I love my AT but no way I would pass up a DJ lol. Also jubilee is slick af
Datejust. The Rolex bracelet, whether oyster flex or jubilee, is so comfy.
To determine which brand has more fanbois present, see which comments have the most downvotes.
aqua terra looks so much nicer
I like the DJ better - although can you actually get that specific model (with green dial) from an AD? If not, then you need to compare secondary prices between the two and the DJ will be a lot more than just 350 euros more
Aesthetically, I’m choosing the Omega in this head to head, every day
Omega.
Omega
I’m definitely an Omega guy but I’d go the Rolex in this case. Better indices, hands, bracelet and case. Only negative is the bubble IMO. Personally I’d get one without a date function.
AT is close for me in so many ways But I can't get around the hour hand. On a dial of triangles and points it just looks like a blunt afterthought. OP easily in this matchup
Following are the key practical differences that’s useful for day to day use. Choose based on your needs. Other differences are a matter of preference and it’s subjective.
If you are over 40 then the cyclops will come in handy even if you short sight vision is good for now because it deteriorates for many as they age.
Bracelet adjustment in DJ is important for many as you can’t do micro adjustments with AT. Especially useful during summers.
Size is another aspect. DJ comes in at 36 whereas AT is 38. Both have 41.
I just don’t like the minute hand on the seamaster if they could change that it would be easy decision.
