The new Omega in-house prices are eerily similar in price to some of the new Breitling in-house models. Guess that's where we are heading cost wise

.

I'm beginning to think I'll be priced out of these brands soon. Look to snap up some of the older models on used market I guess.

+1. My two favorite brands are gating too expensive for me.

The new PO is pretty hot though.

It's a beautiful watch with many high quality elements but I agree with others here: It still doesn't compete with the new Submariner Ceramic for desirability.

FYSA the Australian RRP for a standard Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph is $8200 even with the AUD at $1.06 to $1 USD.

I don't know if this latest PO has been discussed, but I didn't find anything doing a cursory search. A new review on Watch Talk Forums gives a good look at the new in-house, titanium, ceramic-bezel Planet Ocean. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the price tag, but I honestly never thought I'd see a PO topping the $8k mark. Still, it's a pretty sweet watch overall - definitely in the James Bond league.

All new Planet Ocean models come with a four year warranty, which is pretty good to see. I really like the new chronograph model!

Maybe desirability but not quality. Also, I think the stainless steel version is in the $6k range and it's available in a lager size.

I personally disagree with the "preferring Rolex" comments guys. I'd much rather have one of these new PO's than a Rolex Sub - much better size and just look at the display back! (Makes me wonder why the Breitling Chronomat LE had such a reduced WR on account of the DB though when Omega can still retain the full 600m WR. ). Obviously I'd rather go for the steel version than ti (being the ti-phobic that I am), but I think the new PO is a very nice piece. Now if it was a choice between a PO and a Deepsea, then the Deepsea would win hands down, but against the ordinary Sub? No thanks. PO every time.

FYSA the Australian RRP for a standard Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph is $8200 even with the AUD at $1.06 to $1 USD. Just putting things into context with how good prices are in the US and South East Asia.
