Good to see ya Hawaiian. I to arrived here with my sites on a gen Omega PO. The price tag is a little much atm. The thing is I dont think having the gen could be as exciting as buying a rep. To spend $4.000 on a watch, well naturaly it's going to be great. The dam thing cost 4 big ones. To get a watch that for all practical purposes looks the same, well this is even more impressive,Imo, when you consider the price difference. I mean "come on" were talking about pennies on the dollar here. Thanks for stoping by, Mike
