I cannot help you choose but I can give you my perspective of Rolex vs Omega.
Somehow I have always relate Rolex vs Omega to Mercedes-Benz vs BMW. Both comparisons give me similar impression of conservative vs more trendy, uncle vs younger. Such impression went deeper into my mind when I saw in a few movies that James Bond drives a BMW wearing Omega. Ya I know James Bond also worn a Rolex Sub in the old Bond's movie but that was the old time you see.
Having said that, for most commoners, Rolex and Mercs are still the Kings and hence the symbol of status, despite them not being the most expensive or prestige brand of their kind.
I own both Rolex & Omega. While Rolex has a bigger feel-good (read: "hau lian)" factor, I enjoy my Omegas a lot more.
Still not sure which to choose? That's perfectly fine because that's not what my post intend to achieveWatches are like potato chips - You never stop at one

Consider an Omega since you got Rolex. The current lineup from Omega is very classy and dressy compared to Datejust. Example will be the Hour Vision or Aqua Terra which looks great in leather straps. I own both Rolex and Omega and wear Rolex for prestige factor such as formal meetings or dinners but Omega is worn for subtleness and daily wear. My two cents opinion.
