Part 2 of owning low vs high end brands!

I didn't expect the first poll to blow up this much, thank you to all who participated! (For context, Part 1: https://www.watchcrunch.com/G.G.08/posts/owning-rolex-vs-casio-451989) Now we're comparing Timex vs Omega. Not as epic of a comparison as Casio vs Rolex, but it's the best I can come up with for now. I think the results of this one will be a bit different than those of Part 1... Please comment your suggestions for Part 3 if you're interested!

Love them both!

I do own a Timex Ironman currently. I’ve had two Omegas but no longer own either.

·

Good timing; for me it was Timex yesterday and Omega today! Variety is the spice of life

Timex Marlin & M79, and Omega Speedmaster here...

·

My first watches were Timex, an Omega Seamaster 300 Beads of rice bracelet circa 60s was a gift from my parents the summer before middle school, wore that talisman until it was stolen from my daughter’s locker when she was competing in a swim completion many years ago. Presently I own 3 modern Onegas, not much interest in Timex but noticed a number of very cool watches from the brand.

Edit: because sarcasm is clearly not hitting, these are not mutually exclusive events

What do you mean by "these are mutually exclusive"?

I could fine a replacement easily because the watch is pretty common but what would be the point. Not the same watch.

I was being sarcastic - I’ve edited it for you; they are not mutually exclusive events

I see. 🤝

I think my first watch was a Timex wind up when I was a kid ( or a Smiths, around 1977 - I know I had one for the Queen's Silver Jubilee) & I've not got one now but got Omegas.

Awesome! Too bad the days of those wind-up Timexes are long gone...

Awesome! That's definitely one of the cooler MoonSwatches! And hey, official collab and it says Omega on the dial, so it counts!

·

I have a jlc and an orient. I feel like that should count.

·

Omega Aquaterra 41mm blue teak dial and a solar powered timex

·

I.got bunch of both. High end, low end, new or vintage. I don't care. It's just got to float my boat.

I have a few of the Timex MK1 chronographs, and an Omega Seamaster 120m.

Omega Seamaster 120m was my first "nice" watch.....

I like them, for what they are I feel that they’re better than then Omega Moon Swatch.
