I love it. Had they lumed the bezel, ala the snoopy watch, I would have bought it. Omega makes tons of horrible watches, yet they still manage to make some gems.

Can't wait to get mine. Can't afford it, but I'm not letting that minor detail stop me.

I get it and love it. Congrats to those getting one.

3690.30.01 Is still king in my book but this is 1/5 the price.

If the 3570.50 is good for one thing it's to keep you sane when all these LEs are released... at least that's what I keep telling myself. :angryfire:

I was able to get on the waiting list a couple days ago. I assume some people that jumped on might bail at some point.

I've heard that waiting list is around 1800 people.

Oh well. :shrug: I'm not really gaga over it, I just got on the list just in case it really grew on me. I actually like it a little less having now seen these live shots. I do like the brushed case though.

I still really like it, but the fully brushed case... is a little odd. Maybe I need to get used to it after looking at mine for years.

Fully brushed doesn't do justice to the Omega case finesse. Too bad. Still, good looking watch.

I think, even the crown is brushed. It looked like a bridge too far.

I really like the fully brushed finish. I'd do that to an older one if it needed to be refinished.

+2. Very excited about the all-brushed finish. Makes this one even more unique.
