-Seriously! If it were not for the countless hours i've spent drooling over dreamwatches in this forum the last month I would never have have realized that I NEEDED an Omega Planet Ocean.
If it were not for the anal nitpicking bunch you (and I) are, I similarly would not have realized that a rep of the ultimate dreamwatch will not suffice in the long run as I would now be aware of all of the microscopic "flaws" of even the very best reps everytime i looked at it....
So there was but one thing to do..
And I did.
And it is your fault.
I am now the happy owner of a Genuine Omega Planet Ocean, and have contributed a lot of cash to Omega S.A. as a direct conseqence of the rep watch business and this wonderful forum of ours.
Paradox isn't it?
Anyway, as we have all been told over and over again: :ttiwwop:
-So here goes, a few shots of my new found love..
One watch to rule them all.. The new King.
Where the Submariner once reigned supreme the Planet Ocean has now taken over its niche and displaced the trusty old sub.
Don't get me wrong, I still love the timeless styling of the Sub, especially the 16610, but over the years the Sub has become the watch that each and every average joe shows off on the pub after a vacation to thailand or wherever. It has unfortunately lost some of its dignity.
Rolex aren't helping much either with their constant price hikes, being recognized world wide now as more of an accessory to show off wealth than a great timepiece. Quite unlike in their beginnings where the higher price of a Rolex simply reflected the cost of high quality production and not some instrument of market positioning.
- Even James Bond's stylists know this and now appropriately equips their hero with a watch that is the contemporaroy eqivalent of a submariner thirty or forty years ago.
The Planet Ocean is still an iconic watch, but not one that will have the Bond Girls ask him "is it a fake?" or draw attention in a "everybody look! I've got wads of cash" kind of way.
It is the ultimate fusion of rough tool and sophisticated dress watch, and as such the new king in the territory once ruled by the mighty Submariner.
(With the popularity of the UPO's the Planet Ocean might eventually suffer the same fate as the sub, but that will fortuately still take some years... =)

-To boldly go where no watch has gone before...
