I do love everything about that design. Great dial colour too.
IMO, there are few things wrong with the popular Rolex models - people buying for status, people buying and flipping to people who keep them in safes, all the AD shenanigans etc. also, I am not comfortable paying extra just because it has a crown on a dial. I know for sure, that if I got one of the popular models, I wouldn't wear it, because of how much attention they get. Don't get me wrong, the watches are lovely, one of the best designs ever (personally not sure about the Sky-dweller though, but some people love it), the Subs and GMTs... just not for me.
And about Omega - I'm thinking about getting a Speedie for my 30th next year, will go and try one on Monday.

I respect that, I think an awful lot of Omega’s sales are down to folks wanting a nice Swiss watch that isn’t a Rolex, because for many people Rolex = wanker.
The Datejust is just kind of inimitable for me. The current DJ36 is in many ways the best watch they make. I’ve tried it on a few times and it is undeniably flashy - but that’s partly what a Datejust is. (Vintage examples are way less so by modern standards though.) I’ve got a real soft spot for ones with the polished steel bezel on jubilee.
