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.

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.  And I see Omega are really pushing the design envelope with that one!  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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

Whoa. An 8500-powered PO, that is good news. |
