Help With 'next Rep' Decision...

[longshot]

Well the new has worn off my davidsen 201a and it's time for a new toy and I'm stumped

Here's what I have:

• Modern Sub ETA modded pretty thoroughly
  
• LV Noobmariner on the way from Neil/TTK
  
• Pam 036 one of the old good ones
  
• davidsen 5218.201a
  
• GMT II red/black ETA
  
• Breitling SS Seawolf ETA
  
• FM Conquistador 2892
  
• IWC Ingy, new version
  
  Plus 10 or so gen Seiko's mostly vintage 6309 and 6105 divers and both 40th Anniv divers (ss and ti) and a 300m Marine master. And it would take to long to list all the reps I've had and sold
  
  I've narrowed it down (I think) to three:
  
  Pam 120 from Joshua
  Pros:
  • cool blue dial
    
  • i like bracelets
    
  • don't have a 40mm pam
    
  • least expensive
    
    • asian moment
      
    • crown and cg don't seem great
      
    • date font and cyclops issue
      
      Pam 082 ti from davidsen
      Pros:
      • cool blue dial again
        
      • davidsen accuracy and quality
        
      • great lume
        

      Cons:

      [*]probably the most expensive

      [*]very similar to the 036

      [*]need to go strap shopping again

      Omega P.O. Ultimate 45mm

      Pros:

      [*]very accurate rep

      [*]eta

      [*]sapphire with ar

      [*]don't have an omega rep anymore

      [*]great bracelet

      [*]if i get orange i can sell the LV as my 'funky color diver' niche would be filled

      Cons:

      [*]had three planet oceans and sold them

      [*]can't decide which color

      [*]not sure it's not 'too' big

      The next rep after this will most likely be a Big Bang, but I'm willing to wait and hope the price drops as that much for a rep with a dodgy movement worries me?

      So any suggestion or input to push me over the edge

My vote goes to the Ultimate 45mm PO. But, perhaps you should try one on at an AD before committing, just to verify that the size works

I'm with Ubi... Given the list you're selecting from, I also say go with the ultimate PO.

Thanks for the input so far guys

I do like orange a lot and have quite a few orange shirts and jackets and even some Puma Speed Cats in orange.

But...

I don't have very good color vision and just got my first laptop with an LCD screen and am having a hard time telling just how accurate the orange on the bezel of the newest P.O. is to the genuine?

The 3rd gen P.O. I had seemed off quite a bit and if the bezel color is not right I might end up just going with black if I go for the P.O.?

Ultimate 45.5mm PO from Andrew/Josh, you'll be amazed at the quality.

@longshot: Go for the black if you're not sure about the orange.

Seriously... the orange is spot on. Don't worry about it. And you can always get them both.
