I saw one in the Omega boutique yesterday, pretty but chunky I'll stick with my Moonwatch and tri date.

I just saw this for the first time last week and was instantly smitten!! Unfortunately, it's not in the budget. I liked it so much, I started researching vintage models. They go for around $2500. Would love it for a weekend watch. I think Omega has been on the top of its game as of late.

Tried one on yesterday. It's not for me, but it's great to see Omega finally putting out an adjustable bracelet, the design of which is quite slick. The lady at the Omega Boutique said the feature is going to be incorporated into a number of Omega watches in the relatively near future.

I was very impressed and took some pics.

Very cool watch indeed, I am not a fan of the price though.

When I first saw the photos I thought for sure that I would pick one up, but after handling it in person at the Omega Boutique it is a no go. It is way too top heavy - too much metal in the case, even if you put it on a strap.

Love the new clasp system though, however, the manager of the Omega told me that the company currently has no plans of offering the same clasp on the Planet Ocean series, which was a big and disappointing surprise to me.

When the first pictures came out I was hooked. Then I saw one at a boutique and it was a thick watch. Almost like the DSSD. Great dial but the thickness of the watch isn't for me.

Tried on the grey/orange yesterday. Yes, thick and top-heavy but quite stunning in the metal. You have to love these orange hands with just the right 70's vintage neon feel (unlike the new ExpII). I thought it wears surprisingly well. Great as part of a rotation but not by itself IMO. Sorry no pictures yet.

I haven't seen one in the flesh but I've been drooling over the pictures. I think it's a real stunner and would love one.

But no room in my small collection for a speedy pro and a mkii. The speedy isn't going anywhere so I guess it will never happen for me.

Looks just like the one I bought in Nam back in 70. Nice for rotation..

I love the mark II with the orange hands. They are so bright in person, almost neon. She's big though, the case is heavy, don't know about wearing it all day as I only tried it on in the store.

I tried it on today and was absolutely smitten. It's thick, but I think that's part of the charm.

[AlTinkster92]

Reminds me alittle of the Mark III with the thickness... still like it though..

I would get the one with orange accents, it looks amazing.

Much better than a 44mm Speedy if you ask me.

Yes it is heavy, but so what, you have more than one watch.

70s vibe, cool watch
