Rolex vs Seiko. comparo.........
.The issue comes and go in this forum(and others)
I think both are excelent watches from the mechanical point of view.
Many people think that the Rolex is an an exercise in
excess and is more about showing "status" that anything else ,and it is probably some true to that.
Is my SS Rolex GMT MasterII worth $3,500usd? probably not.
Butis my Seiko FlightMaster SBDS001J worth $2100usd? probably not ider.
I know that the intend is the comparo with the 6309-7049 but we are not comparing apples w/apples anyway.
I think that in general the big advantage of the Rolex is the fact that is one of the few watches that "hold" his value
Is this fact well deserved or not ?that's another issue altogether.
Seikos from the engineering point are second to none
yet they never have had the following (not sure why but I strongly suspect Seiko's horrible marketing department)that in my view deserve.
