I don't know? Other than the teddy bear counter weight and medallion, I think it's a nice looking watch, and it does represent great charity work, I think Omega must know that they have the eye of certain collectors. Though I do think they should leave the fancy second hands to brietling.
Well it's a happy Monday, I got a call from berry's ( a Yorkshire based jeweller and authorised omega dealer) this morning and my new watch ( well new to me) is ready for collection back from servicing. Planet ocean ref 232.30.42.21.01.001. Now I just have to get work done early and head into town as it's just calling for me.
Now all I need is my phone upgrade so I can take some decent insurance shots, for some reason all my photos recently look misty?

Maybe it's been watching Timothy Dalton films lately?
) wouldn't be unusual for my phone to be around when Daltons on.
I will of course put a pic up when I sort out my phone, or else it's out with the camera and laptop which is a bind when your used to using a phone for photos. I think it must be a software issue as the lens is clean and clear and long range shots are fine but close at hand looks like this
This is a shot from before service and camera issues.

And here she is congrats a fine watch indeed did you go 45 or 42 mm?
Edit - doh I see it was the 42!
Enjoy in good health my friend I know you will ( I give yo7 12 months and you do the Ti swap)
Cheers :007)

It is a fine watch, I'm very pleased. I'll leave the Ti swapping to you, yes 42mm this time, I love my Ti 45mm but the matte bezel looks better on a 42. Cheers buddy.

I tend to agree with you there as much as I like my 2500 PO LM LE I do prefer the matt bezel of the 8500 (to the point I considered doing yet another bezel replacement project)

I'd leave the LM as it is, theyre quite sought after and unique looking, I like that the matt bezels are not liquid metal but just ceramic, which for me marks them out and offers a very different look to the true black of the 2500 and the colour shifting of the liquid metal. I'll bet in the flesh the matt which is basically dark amd mid grey looks great against Ti
Gives the AT a sporty look. Plenty of options for the black PO 8500
Still feel they missed a trick not releasing blue with red border - would love one of those for my PO 8500 Ti.
Black and red would go nice on my P.O. LM LE though.
Cheers :007)
Yes I did.
The quality is so nice.
I ordered the commander model -{
Cheers
Ive seen them on all the aqua terra golf emails they keep sending, I think it's a good move to extend the range.
I like the commander strap, it was the beat part of the watch.

I was thinking of purchasing that one as well. Just out of interest wat watch are you going to wear it with? (I was thinking blue 8500 Ti or SMP maybe too bold for an AT)

Found all these pics on my iPhone over the many years so put them all together and thought i would bang up my 'journey" on here.
I rearranged them into order (left to right) of watches purchased and sold over the many years, starting with the Omega Bond Seamaster 300 which was supposed to be my one and only treat and highlighting the dangers of this hobby
Im now down to the 2 PP's and kept the Omega SPECTRE as a beater (but no doubt will use that one to feed my habit in the future)
I liked the idea of 3 watches as I honestly didn't wear half of them!!!!
Happy watch porn Wednesday {[]
PS - yup I jumped the gun and bought the wrong SPECTRE SMP early - short ownership on that one

I'm more put off by the powder blue subdials with a white date background.
Did not notice the teddy bear counter weight. As bad as the 007. Just tacky.
Roger Dubuis passed away yesterday.

You are probably right the PO LM LE is unique but does not get wrist time when the Ti’s are in town!

Did you keep the Hulk or did you sell it to Mr Higgins?
On a serious note they have seem to be in crazy demand at the moment since supply dried up!
I saw that too.
Demand for this specific color is growing.
I think all Rolex prices have gone up recently.
A vintage Datejust sells now for USD3'500...cannot believe it
Enjoy the rest of the journey!
You wish -Welshie X-(
I wonder what will be next.
I am personally not a big fan of the Aquanaut - in particular as you have the much better in all regard Nautilus.
I wonder if ALS plans any Sports watch and how it‘d look like
