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 prefer fluted bezel for DJ.

    With smooth bezel very little between the two. On that basis…If it were my money.’c I’d buy the DJ the head would take over and I’d buy Rolex for residuals and for the fact it’s a stronger brand. Sounds, after writing, a very passionless call on my behalf.

    You can get the Aqua Terra for a lot cheaper than that. At MSRP certainly the Rolex for the bracelet and brand. I really don’t care about the Aqua Terra’s marginally better movement given the much inferior bracelet.

    The only way an Aqua Terra at MSRP kind of makes sense is assuming you can’t get a Rolex at MSRP.

    I loved that DJ… I tried on this exact version 3 times. I really want it and that shade of green would fill a big hole in my collection. But I just don’t know if I want that cyclops… it seems like the ultimate “look at me” watch. I mean, it is beautiful and that green is awesome. But I know people will ask about it and I actually would hate to be like “oh it’s a Rolex”… that just isn’t me.

    I do like the Omega as well… but I already have three omegas and an itching to get a ck859… so I’m trying my best to not just have a box full of omegas also.

    But if I didn’t have any omegas and was just deciding on these two as daily wears I would pick the omega. I like the lugs better, no cyclops and more interesting indices and hands.

    As others have said, the Omega bracelet feels substantially below the Rolex one in terms of quality. It felt like a rattly fake president bracelet to me when i tried it… Therefore between the two I do think that the DJ is the better option.

    The aqua Terra is the only omega model I like so that’d be my choice.

    Rolex is a better more comfortable and classic watch. If they were the prices listed here, it would be a no brainer.

    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
