DP's 30th is next month and have been mulling over getting him a watch to mark it and torn between two.
He is a history buff, but works in scientific research, so the Omega Speedster "moon watch" stood out as it is sort of a cross between science and history. Would go for the sapphire version (not the hesalite) as I have read the hesalite is quite prone to scratching.
Other option I've been looking it is a Rolex Datejust - he would like the simplicity of it, especially the blue version.
Am more geared towards the Omega, but not sure as Rolex is more renowned. AIBU to pick Omega over Rolex?
Omega (sapphire version) Speedmaster goes for £7,500 whilst Rolex Datejust is about £12,500. Not sure if Rolexs tend to be a bit overpriced due to their excellent marketing and brand image, or if the £5,000 premium would actually result in a superior, and more robust, watch?
Anyone on here have any experience with either (or both) of these mens watches?
