Irontomkidd Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I let the wife buy all new living room furniture today so when I called from the Omega AD she couldn
Toadtorrent Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Very nice...want to sell that dial? It has the proper feet on the logo. ;) Congrats and wear it well.
Shundi Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Well played... you and RobbieG have similar gen taste.
RobbieG Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah, there are quite a few gen PO guys here. Congrats. Now we have a pumpkin variant in the family. Most of us had the rep first and fell in love with it. Surprise of the year for me. If it wasn't for RWG and the reps I never would have noticed these simple and elegant watches at all. I know Wheaton has a 45.5MM version as well. And dluddy has us all beat because he has a franken that is as good as any gen and for a third of the price...
lazarini Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Great post enjoy and wear it well! Regards Laz
coolfire Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 A classic in its own right! Wear it in great health, dude!
jkirke Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 absolutly stunning piece bro. I can't wait to get my first Gen. It will DEFIINATLY be the PO. beautiful pics.
Ztech Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 Congrats and welcome to a love affair with Omegas. Those broad arrow hands will put a smile on your face each time you look. Enjoy.
Irontomkidd Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Posted December 9, 2008 Hey thanks for all the nice comments guys. It was kind of an impulse buy, I had been looking at used Rolex and new Omega PO
dvn Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 It is the very nice piece and Congratulation. Here is mine with black dial (My pictures are not as good as yours)
Irontomkidd Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Posted December 10, 2008 It is the very nice piece and Congratulation. Here is mine with black dial I like the Black, very classy. And I may end up with one someday. I would love an SMP and a Speedmaster as well.
imranbecks Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 It is the very nice piece and Congratulation. Here is mine with black dial (My pictures are not as good as yours) Arrgh!! Very nice! Its the 42mm... Did you know Daniel Craig wore that in Quantum Of Solace!!! How I wish I have that watch..
RobbieG Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 You are going to love the rubber. I know I speak for both Wheaton and Dluddy as well as myself when I say we all love that strap. It is stiff enough at the lugs to wear slightly loose like a rubber bracelet or you can tighten it all the way for a true dive strap feel... I love this watch and already have the AD sourcing the Orange leather and Black rubber straps from the OEM for Omega.
Irontomkidd Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Posted December 11, 2008 Update on Croc strap. The AD called today to say she found the price of the Croc strap and deployment buckle that I wanted. So I drove over because I wanted them to move some links to reposition the clasp anyway. After looking at prices online I had been expecting a price of $500 but the AD tells me that the strap alone is $225 from the OEM but only $300 from omega. I know she is wrong because it has taken her 2 days to track down this information. I told her I would take it as she is writing up the order I had her write in the
Mercury Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Great looking watches everybody. Gen Omega's are amazingly gorgeous.
tgchrono2 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 hello, i have to choose between the 42mm & 45,5 mm PO Black bezel. BUT i dint know which one to choose. Can you help me ??
bruce79 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Nice score, beautiful watch. Every time I walk by the AD I drool over the PO...the gen looks so good. I owned the UPO and it sure didn't look as good as the gen. Congratulations.
Pugwash Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Superb! If anyone has a black 42 for sale, drop me a line.
RobbieG Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 From TZ Pug. They are hard to come by lately in the small size for some reason: http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...50065&rid=0 Superb! If anyone has a black 42 for sale, drop me a line.
TeeJay Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Awesome purchase If you don't mind me asking, what steered you to the pumpkin variant rather than the black? I only ask as I have a (rep) 42mm in Pumpkin, which was a gift, but I killed the movement while trying to regulate it... Moving aside from that, even before killing the movement, I never wore the watch, as it never seemed to blend with anything in my wardrobe, so it remained solely as a collection piece, so I'm just curious as to what steered you to that color option
