serge what about the blue dial DJ II. i know you had the black dial one with romans a while back. but the blue dial with sticks might scratch your itch. only thing is its not brushed.


Not a fan, couldn't get used to the fluted bezel. I think it looks good just wasn't my style. I'm more of a sport watch guy. I'm not having any luck closing the deal on the Omega, my negotiation skills are slipping!

Did you try Fords Jewelers? Also try the FAD on wus or trf.

That's awesome Pete!! I had no idea the lume looked that sick. Do they make a chrono version?

The chrono version in blue is just ok IMO. Not a huge fan of it. Take a look at this beauty. This is the one for me, I want it bad.

Here's the chrono, I prefer the non chrono in blue but the chrono version in black is pretty sweet.

Now I really like that one...that's an Omega that I would buy. There's something about the 12, 6, 9 font on the standard dial that I don't care for.

The chrono version looks really balanced...love it!!

If I wanted a POC I would get this one, not the blue. I prefer the blue non chrono to the blue chrono.

I love the two sub dials. As you said it's nicely balanced. The cool thing is that the sub-dial at 3 o'clock has 2 hands on it-- one for minutes and one for hours.

Edit-- you can easily see the two hands in Serge's photo above.

The black looks great too, but I am really digging the blue. I'm sure that I will be digging it less when I find out what the list price is........

Black Chrono is $7,700 I believe and the Blue Chrono is $10,500. Why? Because it's titanium. Ouch!
