I am noob and am going crazy viewing all of you guys' amazing collections of Omega watches.
I am lusting after the Super Planet Ocean 45.5 and was wondering if anyone can pm me with a dealer that they got their watch recently, and at what price I would expect to pay to get the best looking one out there?
I have been going through the trusted sellers list but am still a bit uncertain who has the best and fairest price.
Thanks all and thanks for posting the great photos. I just went through 14 pages and will make my way back now lol!

Great franken Omega_guy! The lume is really cool, don't directly shine it on someones retinas 
This is some of my omegas, not included are some projects and part frankens, my omega collection seems to be constantly in flux but this is few together for a change, 4 gens, the rest are frankens. God damn it I forgot to take of a plastic storage sticker on the speedy for the pic:

Cheers Pap, yep the speedy, and front 3 smps are gen, the back two POs and AT blue are franken, the orange is pretty much complete franken and the other strap one is a work in progress...I'm not sure what to do with the gen PO. I don't know if I can justify keeping them all
Thanks Pippo, spot your old AT at the back?
I'm trying out different straps there to have a look what size/thickness suits it (the black strap obviously doesn't go with the blue dial) ...and also the AT bracelet goes very well on the black smp bond (tried that earlier) The watch is great btw!
Wow drbollocko thats an awesome collection! I've always been super proud of the models I have compiled but when I see yours - mine don't feel so great anymore
Note: with the purchase of a new house and birth of my (now) 2 month old son, I've had to sell a few of my projects. I've kept the two Omega frankens that meant the most to me.
Heres some updated photos of mine.
SMP Quartz - Gen
SMP Chrono - Gen
SMP 2254 - Franken (everything gen but case)
42mm PO - Franken (everything gen but case + HE valve)
I'm working on getting my hands on another CF case. If the deal goes thru i'm going to open it up to the forum to decide what I should do with it...

I think you've got a great collection Omega_guy, and it's nicely varied aswell with a cool variation of colours/chronos different builds etc, I think I need to trim down on PO's with my lot!
I hear ya about having money tied up in watches, I sold a 2254, smp quartz blue, and an AT white dial/rose gold in the past year and still feel something has to give....and yet I'm still buying watches and some AT builds to come!
I should take some more pics also, I was inspired by your group pics you took not so long ago!
Keep us posted on how the CF case build shapes up!

So true, the AT bracelet fits the SMP case like a glove and I like even better than the bracelet that comes with SMP (the reason is I'm not a fan of polished bracelets, even if partially polished).
As for your POs...must be a tough choice, the gen is such a beauty and the gen bracelet makes a huge difference....but your franken is so close I would be tempted too to let the gen go for a good price

First rep was an IWC. Then, Rolex. And now... Omega !
I received it yesterday : PO 42 mm. I had hesitations between leather strap or steel bracelet. So I placed the order for strap, and asked for an extra metal band. And here is my beauty :
Actually, I didn't plan to keep the strap because usually the leather used for reps is very poor quality. I took it only for the clasp, to fit a gen rubber band that I plan to buy. But it's been a real surprise to discover that the strap I received is really good and can be wore without problem.

I'm digg'n the orange bezel black strap combo.....
The strap came with the watch, I didn't change it. It's been a very good surprise discovering how good it is. It really looks great !

This is what I have on this morning
Wow sweet looking PO. There's days where I feel like buying a 4th or 5th gen and keeping it stock. The reps are so great it almost feels right just keeping them original sometimes. Same goes with the old school and cf SMPs...
Wear it in great health!
Thanks and yes the group shots were fun I look at them and regret selling some of my watches sometimes.
If I didn't have so much sunken into my franken sub....if only....! Lol
Like most, I wish there were good AT cases, I'd love to franken one up like my PO...hopefully Skyfall triggers something in the factories...
