Boom! Damn that looks great! One of the few PO’s I haven’t tried.. I had the GMT version and although it was nice, it was both a dive watch and gmt; kind of weird, imo. Size is perfect though.
Edit: damn that’s a great shot

Congrats, Ed! Is this the same case as the 43.5 GMT model?

Thanks bud. Same diameter, but I believe this is a good bit thinner.
I tried on the Goodplanet GMT when it was first released and loved it, but I don’t need (or want) the GMT function. This is the answer.

That's really sharp. Congratulations. I love the feel and size of my 2500, but the ceramic moves these PO's to another level. Need to check one out in person... Or buy yours in a couple of weeks

Good news; the new blue is very similar to the blue used in the titanium 8500, but Omega finally uses a color matched date wheel.
The one I tried on had a very cool strap on deployant clasp. It’s a fully waterproof strap, using a rubber strap base and having real alligator on the exterior. The bottom, sides, and pin holes are rubber, which should provide for a long service life. I really liked it. A lot.
Some quick photos.
Nice! Do you know the model number?

Yes and it’s lovely. The date wheel matches too.

Knowing Omega, it’s probably 312.5824.5274.1293.3464.124.
