I like seeing the movement working, and although they are very reliable movements, Rolex movements are boring. Not to mention you can't see them anyway through a solid caseback.
Rolex is smart by keeping their watches fairly unchanged throughout their model history. It keeps them more recognizable, and provides more of a heritage to them... Omega hasn't done as well on that (minus maybe the Speedmaster for the most part). But I've never tried a Rolex that didn't feel dated.
Omega has usually felt more solid, more stylish, and appear to have a lot more finish work into their movements (and some innovation). I prefer a clear caseback so I can see the movement. That also helps to identify fakes. I also like to wear a nice watch, but prefer not getting attention for my watch. So that's a plus to me. To add to that, not Rolex fault, but there's always the "Is that real?" question with Rolex, since there are so many counterfeit Rolex watches out there.
I know many of those are opinions, but those are my reasons for preferring Omega to Rolex. I don't usually sell my watches so resale is not a big concern, and if you buy an Omega for the right price, you probably won't do too bad reselling it... But you are correct that Rolex wins in resale and maybe that's all that matters... But unless you happen to like a similar Rolex design better than Omega... Then it would seem you are only trying to make an investment... In that case I'd argue there's most likely way better investments than a Rolex anyway (outside of watches). If you simply like the Rolex better, buy it. I would have if I seen one I liked.
So make things simple. Omega is better because you can buy a similarly respected brand, with similar (or arguably better) quality, for less money... And if you buy it for the right price, you probably won't lose money. Rolex is better because of their vastly superior marketing, and price control. Which makes their resale better. In the end its just a matter of preference, and neither are really worth the prices they charge for them, other than perceived value. If either had a Timex logo everything else identical, nobody would pay $50 for one. So maybe investment value is what matters, which comes down to which logo is printed on the face.

$8,400.00?? Really?

Lol if I recall correctly, Omega makes profit at 55% of MSRP, so you see a lot of these crazy deals for 35-45% off. This one doesn't make much sense. Joma trying to move inventory I guess. Fantastic watch and deal though. More sophisticated then most Rolex models - just sub par management of their brand name value.

I did like Aquaterra but I went with Explorer I.
Their msrp is ridiculous. Nobody sells it for this price
