josecolon47 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lol Im glad I convinced you to go with the Omega! That is seriously one of the most beautiful watches I have seen Im 90% on the omega, possibly heading to the dealer this weekend. The dealer informed me that has to be factory ordered as it so limited and rare to see in stores. If there are still some available the watch is going for $4,600 duty free here. Although the factory reminds that the watch can take to arrive from 3 weeks to 3 month, wich is kind of rare. I have heard that since the watch is soo similar to the regular PO the extra fee is not worth. But then again, i guess 30 years from now or my next generation/son will have a pretty rare and possibly more valuable watch right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I have heard that since the watch is soo similar to the regular PO the extra fee is not worth. But then again, i guess 30 years from now or my next generation/son will have a pretty rare and possibly more valuable watch right? I feel that they look quite different. I have not seen a regular PO that looks this delicious: Edited May 18, 2012 by TimeStopper45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josecolon47 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I meant on basic version, the LM has 2-3 more markings but everything else is pretty similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Go for the Omega IMHO.PS brother just bought one , love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd suggest a 42mm Planet Ocean, as it's a nice watch, and less conspicuous than a Rolex, although to be honest, I doubt anyone would comment on whatever you're wearing anyway... Another option I would suggest, would be a Tudor Snowflake submariner, that's a real 'below the radar' piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I saw a really nice Rolex 5513 from the early 70s at a Tourneau in Waikiki. It was around $5,500. It's a classic design and its value will increase every year. If you choose to, you can wear it 5 years and get all your money back, plus some. Agreed 100% The popular modern watches are cool, but expect to lose money, especialy if you buy new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josecolon47 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Im going for omega. Tried today the tags but it did not shine or felt as expected. Although got tempted to buy an aquaracer 500M quartz on blue with ss bracelet originally $2,100 usd now for $1,300 final price.( sells for 1,500-1,900 online) Not bad right?

wiesn089 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Aren't the last pictures posted by TimeStopper the new 8500 and 9300 PO versions? I'd definitely try on the new 8500 PO prior to purchase. They are considerably thicker than the older versions (around 16mm compared to 14mm - LM still has the older movement), I really loved it on pictures, but when I tried it on I was incredibly disappointed by this. The chrono is even worse, almost 20mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Some new reps will keep you going for a while, alot of good stuff out there these days. The Omega LM is a gorgeous watch, pretty hard to find, I heard alot of people that had them thought it was a gem but after a while it just looked a bit too glossy or polished for them and the extra expensive was hardly worth it, and went back to the original PO. Some loved it though, it would be nice to get a test run with one before you buy, they have become a bit of a cultish watch in omega circles as the are bloody rarely found new these days. The 8500 PO is always an option as is a semi franken regular PO....a very good replication can be done at about $1Kish. Lots of options, but if it's going to be a pass on to kids then I guess it has to be gen. Did you think about the AT 8500 while looking at Omegas?

Archetypal Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Aren't the last pictures posted by TimeStopper the new 8500 and 9300 PO versions?

The chrono is even worse, almost 20mm. In complete agreement, same thing happened to me. Great in picks, visually heavy in reality. It feels way more 'bling' than the previous 42m PO - which construction and overall depth allows the watch to sit reasonably flat and more inconspicuous on the wrist.
