Frankly I don't see the value in Rolex watches. I think Omega make a better watch that, unless you go for the top of the line, costs less than a Rolex.

Just found this virtually unused one which looks very good

I agree Peter - the coax movement is very good

I did have an Omega Seamaster Racing up until a couple of years ago when I sold it to our postman (very sadly he died suddenly of a heart attack a week later and I was one of the last to see him alive but that's another story) and I also had the second Museum piece, The 1930's Pilots watch but for some reason, none of the newish Omegas float my boat.
