Appalling timekeeping from day dot (and still is), despite being returned three times. This is meant to be cosc certified but never keeps time to cosc standards. I've owned £50 Seiko 5's with better timekeeping.
Stops when it feels like it despite being fully wound.
The centre links in the bracelet are hollow and not solid gold, and the bracelet feels like it cost a tenner. I've had considerably better bracelets on £200 Citizen watches, which would put the Rolex one to shame.
The watch does not feel substantial when you pick it up, feels kinda light and cheap.
Every Omega I've owned has a better / more impressive finish.
I'm not alone either. Three friends have the normal s/s sub and have also had the timekeeping issues. Another buddy bought a brand new Explorer II which stopped working after a week as the auto wind rotor had fallen off and jammed the movement.
Overpriced pants imo.
A well known watch guru gave his opinion on the subs years back and his conclusion? - "They're an ok £500 watch" - says it all really. (Note his sarcasm, as at the time they were around £2850)
