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!

The blue has a liquidmetal bezel. The black has a ceramic one. Both are toooo thick for me to wear on a daily basis.

I agree. The black looks better.

I was reading an article about the ceramic/liquidmetal bezel. The blue bezel is actually ceramic but the numbers and markers on the bezel are liquidmetal. They cast the ceramic bezel then carve out the markers and numbers and pour in the liquidmetal.

Looks like the chronograph hands have lume too. That's nice. And the blue from those photos is so much better than Rolex's blue on the new two-tone sub. The advance in quality is visually obvious from a few years ago. I'm just still trying to get my head around paying that much for for a sport Omega. What's the three hand retailing for?

It's a beautuful watch. Wondering if the blue has a bit of gray in it unlike the blue of the regualr Seamster or Chrono? Wasn't a fan of the blue of the Seamaster Chrono I had, but this one looks awesome.

Just arrived about two hours ago. I love it! Yes Shark it does have just a touch of grey in the blue. It's not a bright blue, it's not a purple blue like a lot of the photos, it's a deep blue. Overall it's very lightweight and looks like brushed SS, not titanium which I like. The polished facets on the side of the case are awesome, I didn't know titanium could be polished to look like shiny SS. Here's a quick crappy wrist shot.

the titanium PO with the blue face is just stunning - tried it on yesterday and took a lot of will power to leave it there in the AD. same price as my rolex sub c but arguably a lot "more" watch for your money. I am very envious Serge.

Thanks Tim. Glad to hear that you got to see one. While I think the SubC is an awesome watch, there's no way I would trade the PO Ti LM for it. It has to be seen to be appreciated, it's hard to capture the real color in photos. It's lightweight, wonderfully finished both the brushed and polished portions of the Ti, the movement is beautiful, the raised numbers on the dial, the wet look to the bezel and dial are awesome. Overall I am extremely impressed with this watch. I enjoyed my SubC, but I don't miss it....I would really miss this PO.

great looking piece, and thankfully you have the bezel in the right spot here, before the OCD folks started in on it!
