I sold an Omega 300M to buy this one. While the Omega served me well for many years I have no regrets. The Omega does the same thing that the Rolex does only the Rolex does it better. If you can afford this watch don't hesitate to buy it. Remember, there are are only three things that can happen to your money: a)You can spend it, b) the government will get it or c) your kids will get it. You don't want the government to get it and your kids probably won't begrudge you the fact that you are spending their inheritance. For me the choice was simple.
