Thank you so much for giving this forum an opportunity to ask some questions only an "insider" can answer.
There's a perception that Omega is a step down from Rolex, whilst Breitling is seen as more on a par. It's not something I necessarily agree with, I think Omega is a great brand, and really pushing boundaries with the new cal. 8500. There does seem to be a different market looking at Omega, though, despite Omega's very conspicuous attempts to directly challenge Rolex (think Aqua Terra vs Datejust, Planet Ocean LM vs. Sub-C, PloProf vs. Deep Sea) - I'm not sure if people are ready for Omega to be on the same level as Rolex. Most purchases for Omega will be below £3000, which is under the entry level prices for Rolexes.
