Sure is a good looking watch!

jvo300 · 21 December 2013, 02:10 PM

Great looking. Wish it was smaller.

It's not overly big and it's all ceramic and very light. It would be hard for me to shell out the $12,000 they want for it though, plus tax.

12 g's, that's a hard sell!!

joe100 · 21 December 2013, 04:04 PM

I like the look but not the size and the price. It is a pretty machine though

ocabj · 22 December 2013, 05:40 AM

I have 7" wrist:

I don't think it's big even though it's a 44mm.

I didn't realize it was that large. It wears very small.

dysondiver · 22 December 2013, 05:41 AM

its pretty ,

vitalsignsrn · 22 December 2013, 11:51 AM

Nice piece Art. Im thinking the price is a bit of a catch though. To me (my opinion), doesn't look like a $12K watch.

So…you going to the dark side?

Looks like a great watch. You are the only one I know of on this forum that has one. Congrats on being the first.

I am an Omega fan and owner, but I have an issue with it being 12K. I think I will wait until my AD gets it and hopefully get a discount. I have this issues with buying any watch over 10k for some reason.

Not even close for me at that price. Although some day I wouldn't mind having the original version.

asadtiger · 22 December 2013, 06:26 PM

beautiful watch

andrewc6207 · 22 December 2013, 09:07 PM

Just seen that Watchfinder.co.uk has one on their website. 8500 uk pounds

Urosfan · 22 December 2013, 11:28 PM

Looks good

sea-dweller · 23 December 2013, 02:51 AM

Gorgeous!

Big Orange · 23 December 2013, 07:07 AM

That is a nice watch!

kings4sap · 23 December 2013, 01:29 PM

I tried one on last night at a boutique Company store. The sales guy started by stating "oh, these aren't supposed to be in the States yet, ha ha...." The watch itself is beautiful and seems very light in weight. The band is flimsy IMO and with a ceramic clasp I am wondering how sturdy it will be over the long haul. I don't get the $12k price. Seems high to me and based solely on "planned" exclusivity.

The strap is cordura. Cordura and other "ballistic nylon" made to cordura specs are used in a lot of 'tactical' gear such as rucksacks, patrol packs, sniper drag bags, etc, so I'm going to guess that it will last a lot longer than leather or a basic nylon NATO strap.

I've got a shooting mat made out of cordura, that I bought back in 2003 that I still use. That thing has been in all sorts of dirt, mud, gravel, and on hot asphalt without a tear or rip, yet.

I agree with the poster you quoted. Although it maybe ballistic grade it is vastly inferior to IWC's Topgun Kevlar strap.

Soon these will be going for 35% discounts.

Survivor · 25 December 2013, 03:55 AM

same here

vintagewaferthin · 27 December 2013, 11:48 AM

I'd like it even more if it had 3 chrono registers and came in a smaller case.

NCD1979 · 30 December 2013, 01:20 AM

Great looking watch but the price is a bit unreasonable for what it is...IMHO

bde · 30 December 2013, 03:26 AM

I'm a huge Omega fan, and it's a great watch. ...BUT, $12k damn near buys a modern 3570.50, and a vintage transitional Speedy, AND a 35th anniv. Apollo 11 Panda.

I'd rather have those three classic models any day of the week! My

Agree

price is an issue here
More and more marketing spending, we pay add and not the watch
