Latest PO from omega - Gray/Grey Bezel?

[Tmax]

Looking today at the Omega site, and the PO's seem to have a grey bezel insert? and I see they are changing to a display back case!

Now guys what are we doing about it in the rep world?

Is that bezel grey/gray and ceramic?

Not sure about the bezel, but here's what they say about the dial:

The applied indexes on the dials of the watches in the new Planet Ocean family are coated with white Super-LumiNova emitting a blue light as are the polished, facetted rhodium-plated hands. The exception is the minute hand which emits a green light, as does the dot on the diving bezel. This feature makes it easy for divers to keep track of their elapsed time at a glance.

Sounds like the lume on the Liquidmetal if I'm not mistaken, or another model that was discussed here recently. I remember people talking about the green minute hand and bezel dot contrasting with the blue lume. Maybe it was the Ti case one, I can't remember.


EDIT: It was the Ti case.

I just don't like mismatched lume, how many of the buyers will actually ever dive with the smegging thing.

Very unique, but that lume will have to grow on me ...... I'm not there yet!

Nope...The Bezel on the new LM is sweet...IMO..but mismatching lume color and the smaller 12, 3, 6 and 9 markers.......I dunno.

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would LOVE to source the dial. The bezel, on the other hand, if available would cost a small fortune. I went to my AD the other day to look at one; $6k!. Twice the price of my Orange PO when I got it :-/

Although less than a DSSD, even less than a new Ceramic Sub. So its a bargain compared to a Rollie /eyeroll

Its only a matter of time before knock offs are made. I'm afraid they'll look nothing like Gen lawl; they look SPECTACULAR in person.

What a beautiful watch maybe the price of last years PO will go down enough for me to purchase.

They have gone down. You can get a very good used PO for $2-2.5k. New will be a little more. My buddy wheeled and dealed for a BLK/BLK PO with rubber strap for ~$2700.

 

[dsmdave]

That is a pretty good deal. Might have to go to the Omega AD and check into that.

Don't really want to buy one off the internet even though I know what a replica looks like

Honestly, I'd buy this if I were looking for a gen PO. Might buy it and mod it if the guy takes $2k

I understand that Omega announced there will be a price increase in the 8% range, due in September. I'd expect that would have some impact on used watch prices, but you never know in the wacky world of watches. The Swatch group is making some good dough lately.
