Good to see by the look of the center of the Tag dial it won't over heat. The Omega is same ole as far as I'm concerned. I spent all my money anyway so can't like anything new. :D

Quite liking that Omega, looks classy in the blue, reminds me of the SOHC!

Cheers

Hmmmm, another Tag concept that won't get made into a production piece - or if it does it'll be an insane price. :roll:

And I see Omega are really pushing the design envelope with that one! :lol: I'm hoping to see a true in-house chronograph movement from Omega. And ideally I'd like to see it go into a 44mm+ Speedmaster. :D

I really like that PO, granted it's nothing insane but the titanium with the blue dial and bezel makes it interesting enough for me. I'm just glad they didn't give it a red bezel.

it's a nice blue, but would look better in my opinion if the date wheel was the same colour.

Never been a fan of either of these brands. Doesn't look like anything is changing anytime soon

Quite like the PO, but Roff you are right, the black date wheel jumped out at me immediately. Seems a bit of a glaring issue. Even a white one would be better.

That's what I get for looking at pics on a phone, you're right though. It would look better with a matching color date wheel, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I wonder if they put the 8500 movement in it, that would definitely bump it up a notch for me.

Well that's outstanding. Now it's a true in-house PO, too bad it'll probably be about the same price as the new Explorer II. At this rate I'll need to save up for about 8 years.

Definitely. I wonder how long before the regular, non-titanium or LM, models get it.
