My credit card is begging for relief, but I could not help myself. The watch I saw was too beautiful to pass up, plus it fit my wrist perfectly.


The exact color combo I want will be here next week. It is a 45mm+ case, with orange Arabic numerals and an orange stitched black rubber strap. Chrono diver!!! Think that makes it pretty obvious.

Guess I gave too much away.

Really love that Orange!!! The Orange bezel was hideous, over done! But the orange numerals are just enough!!!! Can't wait.

Yes the PO is a fine piece. Good purchase.

I personally never minded the orange bezel as well, but I was always concerned that it'd have a limited lifespan and end up becoming the horological equivalent of 80's pop music - very cool at the time, but very much "of the moment"! I hope it doesn't as it's a nice change to see a bit of colour on a watch.

Anyway, you've probably made the best "future-proofed" choice of having a little colour, but not too much.

I have to say I am usually a white and black kind of guy when it comes to watches. But I never minded a splash of red on my Steelfish, A little red/green in my GMT Master II, or even that electric blue of my Chrono Evo. But Orange? That is quite the departure for me. Seeing it in the flesh was really something though!

Best choice on the leather strap. the orange stiches are amazing. However i dont mind the orange bezel granted it is on a bracelet.

Enjoy your new watch:)

Woo! Of all the Omega's I tried on in my lifetime, the PO Chrono was probably my favourite.. if the AD wasn't so out of line with their Canadian Pricing (They wanted $6000!!!) I may have bought one.

:lol: you know I did consider joining the coral club. But the Superocean is a bit smalish onmy wrists and that coral dial is a bit too much for me. I dont think I can pull it off :?
