The new 42mm PO is very nice, should make for a great EDC piece. This will be a serious contender for me personally as I've moved off my new Rolex pieces for now and sticking to my vintage and semi-vintage ones. I think the MSRP for the regular black version on ss bracelet is something like $5,800.

If anyone has good dealer connections on Omegas, please PM me.

Is that bezel really charcoal colored?

psv · 11 August 2011, 09:56 AM

Yes, more or less, it is a ceramic bezel.

WJGESQ · 11 August 2011, 12:38 PM

Not sure I like the faded look? Is the orange also faded?

PAKLOKKEI · 11 August 2011, 12:52 PM

The black bezel is ceramic but the orange is aluminium insert, i dont know why

Is it because ceramic cant make sharp color like Orange ?? anyone knows the reason ?

I also saw these while at Vegas last week. I am also past modern Rolex watches and think this is my favorite modern watch out right now. I went to the Tourbillon store in the City Center and it was one of the nicest stores Ive been to. They only had the 45.5 so I was not interested. I will wait and see the 42mm in person and will probably purchase one from Jim if he still has his discounts available.

I bet FR.John would refer you to the same person I did.

WJGESQ · 11 August 2011, 07:52 PM

Not a big Rolex fan, but their ceramic dials don't look faded on the Hulk or Smurf submariners. Quite colorful and rich-vibrant by comparison.

Thanks for all the PMs.

By the way, here is a quick photo I took from the Omega boutique window afterwards.

Gharddog03 · 12 August 2011, 02:24 AM

Went to try it on yesterday. Very nice watch.

psv · 12 August 2011, 02:54 AM

The 42mm one looks just right. Tasteful. The 45mm one not so much IMO.

I spoke to some dealers today, not arriving just yet, it seems like the Omega Boutiques will get them first.

Kringkily · 12 August 2011, 03:48 AM

depends how big your wrists are. a 42 fits a medium to large wrist well but if you have huge arms then I maybe 45 is more your style

Joey_V · 12 August 2011, 04:39 AM

The new POs look great. That matte ceramic bezel looks nice.

capote · 12 August 2011, 05:36 AM

I have also seen these in the flesh and the ceramic bezel looks very very nice in reality. I was a bit hesistent after just seeing pics online. My favorite is the Planet Ocean chrono, but all of them are miles ahead of the Sub-c and GMT-c designwise.

This one is not too shabby either

RJK · 12 August 2011, 08:42 AM

I noticed that on Patrick's window shot of the chrono's that one has an orange "12" on the dial and the other is white.

Is that a bracelet vs. strap option?

I think I've got my sights set on my next watch purchase

I wanna see the Ti chrono in the flesh before I make the final call.

asadtiger · 15 August 2011, 10:16 PM

these are great watches and I really like the new rubber straps with raised central/padded centre and stitched sides

...very good upgrade

Lanfor · 16 August 2011, 12:56 AM

Looks so nice. I reckon this could be a strong contender for the rolex sub-c, due to the new movement and the overall look !

TswaneNguni · 16 August 2011, 05:18 AM

New POs are yummy !!
