A couple more shots for the PO guys who are interested.

It reminds me a little of the BPFG sailcloth strap. This is rubber underneath and feels a little more flexible than the croc-leather-rubber that comes standard.

Image
That really does look great. The Omega straps, and particularly their deployant, are some of the best in the business.

:thumbsup: :cheers:

Thanks. I liked in (in photos) on the Deep Black model, but in person it gives the PO a “fifty fathoms-ish” feel. I’m happy. For now.

While at the boutique I tried on the blue SMP and it will be mine, hopefully soon. I’m trying to wait until the upcoming Omega announcement, hoping for a modern 2254, but not sure my will power will hold.

Image

Who am I kidding....if they release a modern 2254 I will need both.

Look at this thing! Maybe I sell the Pelagos... :think:

Image


Also had a change to try the GO Seventies and love how it fits & feels. The blue would be on the short list, but only without that giant white date wheel. Fugly! The watch itself is nice, with micro adjust clasp and screw crown.

ImageImage

I don’t usually do anything with gold, but this dial helps the ugly date window blend in a bit. This one on bracelet could find its way to me in 2019-2020. Maybe. At least (unlike Rolex) you can get your hands on one of these.

^^ GO has the best big date complication in the business. But I agree that it's a bit too prominent on the blue dial, I like it much better on the cream dial.

Edit: You just had to make me think about GOs again! I've had this on my want list for ages. Maybe time to finally pull the trigger...

I switched to the yellow Scurfa DiverOne 500 for dinner with family and friends

Image

Zoe and I both wore Scurfa’s in fact. She had the blue with yellow hands

If that one had the bracelet with adjustable clasp and the screw crown I’d prefer it. Lovely dial.
