New PLANET OCEAN Titanium & Liquidmetal
- Thread starter Q5?
- Start date
No there are a XL version of it at 45,5 mm found it in sweden for 3800 euro. I have to say yhat this is the coolest AR effect on the crystal that I have ever seen there is absolutly NO color on this glass it realy makes it look invisible. Iam realy not in to the PO range but this does it for me, GOT TO HAVE....
That lume is HOT!
Went to the Omega store in Short Hills NJ.
The Liquid Metal Bezel has a carbon gray matte look as opposed to the shiny black ceramic. Different look. Not sure which one I prefer.
Last year's model $4500, this year's Liquid Metal $6200. (Didn't buy anything today). And the guys there? I hate to sound like a cocky watch snob (I am a snob, but not cocky. wait, can a rep owner be a snob? sure.), but I guess I am since without asking, one guy said you don't open the helium valve under water, and the other guy said to open it when you dive. Really? I mean, Really?! (They should be opened during ascent after a long saturation dive).
The AR on the crystals is great, and the silver numbers on the PO were actually kinda hard to see. I love the font, so was actually surprised to find that I kinda liked the Black face/bezel with the orange numbers. The numbers had good contrast with the black background, so right now, I'm thinking that IF I get a Gen PO, I'm in for the Black Bezel w/ Orange Numbers.

Hi, I am about 45 minutes from Short Hills Mall.
Did they have the PO chrono? I'm going to have to pay them a visit.
I can't wait on a rep of this new version
I can't wait on a rep of this new version
It wont happen (no doubt they will try) but this is one watch that they will NEVER get right.
I know, that's why I might have to get the gen, but 6200 for the PO and I believe over 10k for the chrono-we'll see
If you can't really wait. You can get this to ease the urge first..

Found the prices
@Q5?: Do you agree with me that in person, when you don't have precisely the correct angle, that the orange numbers had more contrast than the stainless steel? The steel is polished to a mirrored surface, so i had to angle it to see them.
OK, found the card the guy gave me with the prices:
Liquid Metal Prices from the AD
42mm $6200
46 mm 6200
Chrono $8200
Prior Model Year
42mm $4500
Chrono $7200
You notice how the pushers on the clasp are now oval?
One bummer is that there's no micro adjust unless you get the shark bracelet (like on the PloProf). I use the micro adjust on my Rolex GMTIIc all the time.

so that's not too bad $8200 for the chrono
Off to the mall this afternoon!
Hmm, rubber or bracelet? I have so many bracelet watches, that I might have to get one on rubber, especially if I save a little $$$.
Victorinox store- should be interesting.
And there is that seafood place there too!!!

The liquid metal technology was a limited production piece and is NOT on the new pieces. The cases are larger (46mm instead of 45.5mm) and the He valve crowns are larger. They have changed the Arabic font on the dial as well as the case back is exhibition with the new 8500 movt.
