longshot Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 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/TTKPam 036 one of the old good onesdavidsen 5218.201aGMT II red/black ETABreitling SS Seawolf ETAFM Conquistador 2892IWC 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 diali like braceletsdon't have a 40mm pamleast expensiveasian momentcrown and cg don't seem greatdate font and cyclops issuePam 082 ti from davidsen Pros:cool blue dial againdavidsen accuracy and qualitygreat lumeCons: [*]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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 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.?

By-Tor Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
