New guy checking in

I have been a Panerai guy for the last couple of years and wanted to branch out. I was convinced a vintage GMT Master would be my next purchase, until is saw the Good Planet PO. A short drive to my dealer and I was trying it on, along with a few others. Long story short:

Very nice watch. I have yet to see one in the steel.

One weird question though, why does it have a screw link on the top end of the bracelet (near the lugs), I dont remember I ever seen a bracelet with a screw on that side before.

All Omega screw link bracelets have them, it's for different end links

Man....My envy is only outweighed by my resentment for showing such stunning photos of this watch...

This coupled with a potentially killer deal on the sale forums on this model...

I have only 2 choices -
#1. Buy the watch
#2. Stop coming to this website...

Congratulations on a beauty

love everything about this one!

I'm so happy I re-discovered Omega....man they are designing some amazing and tasteful timepieces. As much as I love Rolex, in many ways, Omega is kind of like the anti-Rolex...

Me too. I had not considered them lately, but then I saw this and realized the line was amazing as well.

Thanks for the welcome to the sub forum everyone.
