[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3960742, member: 24867"] I'll say it, the finishing on a GS beats the daylights out of Rolex. Their movements are just as robust, keep even better time, etc. Look up Zaratsu polishing, see how long it takes to do it at a level required by GS, and then we'll talk. Here's where Rolex beats everyone.....brand recognition. Everyone knows they are a high quality timepiece. There's no denying it. Are there better, absolutely yes. Are there better for less money, still yes. But none of them hold the prestige that a Rolex does. An Omega with a co-axial escapement keeps WAY better time than a Rolex, with the same (if not better) finishing, etc, and can be had for half the price or less. There is no waiting list from an authorized Omega dealer and no other purchases required before your allowed the privilege of buying the popular model you want (try to walk in, even with cash in hand, to buy a Daytona and see if they'll sell you one. They won't!). If you're strapped for cash anywhere in the world, a Rolex on your wrist will get you out of a jam where an A. Lange & Söhne, made totally by the hands of expert craftsmen, costing multitudes more, and beats a Rolex in every single category regarding build quality, materials, engineering, etc. won't because they don't know what it is. A Rolex is money in the bank. [/QUOTE]
