My 2nd Omega - Planet Ocean
Just picked up a used PO, was on the lookout for a nd sub but the PO opportunity came up for a decent price and it's always a watch I've admired trying it on a number of times at ADs.
Whilst the bracelet was in good condition I thought I'd swap it out to the oem rubber diving strap. Whilst I've only had it less than a week, I'm really enjoying it, actually even more than I thought I would...

Thanks, I guess the ND Sub will have to wait a while longer.
PS: Quite a collection you have. Some very nice timepieces...

Really like the orange arabics which was a key reason I chose it as there were a few other options which were newer/cheaper. I felt that this gave it just a bit more variety from the Deepsea I currently have.

The PO was originally on steel bracelet so should be ref. 2200.50.00 I believe. I bought the rubber strap and buckle separately from the main Omega boutique in Shanghai...

As for the rubber strap comfort it is really comfy and there definitely is a noticeable difference in weight that you can feel vs the ss bracelet...
