Me, I like the Pumpkin because it gets noticed. But, let's get real here - it's only got that accent trim ring - it's not that "crazy" in color - I don't think it's that big a deal to match it to clothes - I wear it with everything- Dress Shirts, (it really accents on a oxford blue), t-shirts, anything!

Hey EZ -Love those NCIS pix - never noticed that! :)

Yeah I have always worn this with anything. The orange bezel is simply beautiful. I dunno why people have to go so nuts emulating james bond with the black version. I purchased both of my omega for what I like, I liked the blue smp so I bought it, and I liked the orange 45mm PO that I saw at the AD then soon after realized it was too large so got the 42.5mm. Amazing watch and the bezel on the 42.5mm looks a lot nicer than the 45.

You might look at Narikaa's 42.5mm orange PO. I have one and love it on my 7" wrist.

At a fair price, too.

Go for Narikaa's ones, they are stunning and reasonably priced.

@lmr you actually match your watches to your shirt?? wow almost as bad as me matching mine to my purse and shows lmao
I try to match them to my shoes and purse as well, but didn't want to admit that out loud. :blushed:
And I agree the watch looks great with anything dark, but try wearing it with a bright red polo, or a medium blue. Maybe my metro-sexual side is showing (and trust me... that is the only truly tiny side I have), but I just can't do the color clash thing. I wear only stainless or brown straps with brown shoes, and stainless or black straps with black shoes. Guess I'm just not the fashion maverick some of you guys are.

i have both the black one and the pumpkin one from narikaa and honestly, after a while the pumpkin one went on my nerves so i gave it away. if you have very white skin, it makes you look pale! and it doesn't match well with any clothes. its a watch that looks cool on pictures and in the catalogue, but on me, it never looked good. the black one though looks really good and i like it a lot. my advise: don't get the pumpkin one.

I did end up buying one from timeshops.net a while back. Still need to post pics... :(

I really do like the orange, but as some have said, the black looks great too!! Hmmm... my birthday's today, so perhaps I'll have to buy me a present! ;)

Happy belated birthday, Jess!

If you're gonna get another PO, Narikaa is shipping now. Or the FPO is always available if you ask fakey nicely, hehehe.

My Franken UPO - gen dial, hands, crown, tube, datewheel and bezel insert.

I also have an orange 45mm currently being assembled, I have a 6.75 wrist, but wrist size for me is not important if you want a big watch get a big watch, if you want a small watch buy a small one! A big watch is still a big watch on a big wrist no?
