My opinion: Rolex is like a Chanel, everyone knows it and it is in a class of its own (I think it's a higher tier than Omega). Omega watches are like Louis Vuitton- well known as well but not as prestigious. Jaeger Le Coultre and Patek and all those top tier brands are simply that, top tier. Those are usually only recognized by people in the know. I bet if I were to wear a Jaeger, maybe one or two of my friends would even know what it is.
In the end, if you could afford any of those brands, consider yourself lucky and enjoy it. I'm longing for an Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th anniversary. It would be nice to own but I haven't work a watch in so long I don't see the need for one now.
