Incoming Ceramic Planet Ocean 8500
Hi all,
I haven't been on in a while, however I did want to share about my new purchase Omega. This is my first Omega. Their watches are very beautiful. Currently I own a DJ2 TT-SLTE, GMT2 C, DeepSeaC, Sub LvC, and now my fist Omega. I was bent on whether I wanted the Orange or black. I chose black. The orange was a little too much for my taste, but is very beautiful. I figured I'd go black since it is my first Omega. I also love the clear caseback as well. |

Thanks. I am enjoying it greatly. Couldn't be happier! In fact I can't even think about putting one of my Rolexes on.

Have just aquired same Omega as you and have a hard time chosing which watch to wear. Decided to wear the Omega on weekdays and my GMT 2 C on weekends.
The 45 mm watch is so comfortable with the rubber strap. Less likely to scratch the band at the gym as well

I guess I wear one till I get tired of it. The problem is, I don't usually go back to wearing a certain watch. I just end up buying a new one. Which is bad news for my wallet. I will say I have the Omega fever now, which has symptoms of chronically buying more Omegas...... Help meeee!!! Lol |

I also have a movement pic. Sorry for the crappy photo, but I couldn't get a good angle w/out taking and screwing and unpinning one of the links. So here you go.

Great choice Mr.Prez, I have the same combo in 42mm and I haven't worn a different watch since I got it in December. It is a beautiful, solid timepiece. Enjoy it in good health.

Someone here thought this was a 45mm, it's actually the 42mm. I have a smaller wrist, sorry for any misconfusion.

Are you planning on getting the matching rubber strap with orange stitching? I was going to get that at first but the bracelet version made more sense price-wise. |

Now that you bring it up though, I may just have to get one. I've seen a few youtube videos with the 8500 cal on rubber and the rubber looks great. Glad to hear your liking yours as well!

Jms w, I purchased the OEM black with orange stitching strap a couple months after I got the PO. It is a high quality strap that actually looks like a smooth leather. Very versatile and very comfortable. After the shock of the price for the strap and deployant buckle wore off I couldn't be happier with it.
