So Murphy,
What your thoughts about this watch?

I’m actually deciding whether to get this SuperOcean or Omega Planet Ocean 42mm. The price is no object. What do you guys think?

I've had both.

Wouldn't lean one way or the other. SuperOcean, lighter on the wrist tho, even on a bracelet.

Quick question about the bezel. Since it's rubber what are the numbers? Are they printed on the rubber or are they like inserts or what? That's the one thing that has confused me since I first saw this watch. Either way it's very awesome.

I might go for the 45mm PO over this but it would be a close call. I think it would actually have more to do with my mood on any given day because I generally like Breitlings more than Omegas.

The bezel is a single stamped stainless steel piece with the numbers and markers stamped directly into it and then filled with rubber.
See it here:

In response to anybody asking about the rubber fading... ive had mine a couple of months now and there is zero fading.

BTW, the black looks awesome. I was debating black or yellow, and ultimately went with yellow, but I dont think you can go wrong either way.
