It's all good; except the PCL's.
Re: What do you guys think?
$4500 BNIB is getting to be realistic. Maybe it'll get to secondhand PO pricing.
only accurate watches are interesting
Re: What do you guys think?
IRL it looks smaller than 41mm... surprised me a bit.

Seen a couple pre-owned in the $4250 area.....when they break 4K, I'm going to have a hard time saying no....

Is $250 what brushing the PCLs will cost?

Re: What do you guys think?
I'd wear it upside down, that movement and display back is gorgeous.

Re: What do you guys think?
I loved the size and the fact it wore small (has that awesome 62mas/BP Bathy case vibe)), but I was otherwise totally underwhelmed by the new SMs at the Roseville, CA Boutique.
I realize the movement is fantastic but it didn't feel all that special in my hand. I was totally bummed. YMMV.
And btw, Omega does their watches ZERO justice with the impenetrable shrink wrap they put on them. Hard to tell from the pics but I couldn't wind the hacked crown, spin the bezel, nothing. Lame.

Titanium vs. Stainless I think.ericf4 wrote:marchone wrote:$4500 BNIB is getting to be realistic. Maybe it'll get to secondhand PO pricing.

Looking at them all on the table it looks like it could give the 42PO a run for its money in the size dept but when you pick it up it's like a 39mm watch. Strange but cool effect IMHO... I don't have very big hands... Ring size 9.5
Re: What do you guys think?
I posted a number of comparison shots on this one in the Main forum. I too was underwhelmed and thought it looked small when I saw it at the store with all the 45mm, etc.. Omegas, but on the wrist I think it wears in line with the SubC and GMTIIC, but thicker and a little heavier. It does not wear as wide as the olders SMPs, but does wear higher and perhaps a little heavier.
If you like the size of 40mm Rolex watches, then this won't be too small for you. If you like 44mm, then it will feel small.

Re: What do you guys think?
The size is good, and looks nice in photos, but when I tried it at the local AD I was a little underwhelmed.
Re: What do you guys think?
I really like it and it's titanium...But 9K price ...........

Re: What do you guys think?
I agree. It had a smallish dial with thick (21mm) and long end links. The fake vintage lume looked less offensive than I was expecting, but it was disappointing in person nonetheless. I'd suggest anyone who's interested to try it on in person before getting your heart set on it.425ranger wrote:IRL it looks smaller than 41mm... surprised me a bit.

Found this photo with brushed center links.....

Re: What do you guys think?
It doesn't look great against the polished case. I bet I'd like this watch a lot more on a strap.

I agree, it seems very flat - especially with the matte bezel. Whole watch just feels a little dull to me. PO bracelet has a little more dimension to it.

Re: What do you guys think?
I think they really screwed up with the 21mm lug width. Then they doubled down by making the inner bracelet link extra fat. It's really the worst part of the watch, and without the shine it's blatantly obvious.dnslater wrote:JP Chestnut wrote:It doesn't look great against the polished case.

Re: What do you guys think?
I saw this not too long ago at an AD. I thought it was cool but defiantly nothing I would buy. And I'm a vintage guy.

Re: What do you guys think?
Here it is next to the SubC. The case is definitely longer, thicker, and heavier, but it does not appear to be as wide to the eyes as the SubC.
