Thanks guys....

==========
No question the price sucks....

==========
Omega hit a homerun w/this one..

The bezel is like a charcoal color and is really smooth, the date is actually silver...
dial has raised markers....nice handset

It does sit higher than the regular PO...

The only true negative is the fact that Omega didn't add some
kind of automatic bracelet micro adjustment like its Swatch brother
Glashutte...or like Rolex...
