Following are results of a poll I ran in a highly-trafficked forum frequented by aficianados from across the spectrum of watch interests. I posted this survey on April 24, 2006, and ran it for 7 days. The thread was viewed over 765 times and garnered 69 votes as distributed below in response to the following question.

For those who do own or have owned both Omega and Rolex: Which did you buy first? and what have you kept?
