Matt: I saw one 'in the wild' a couple of weeks ago. Good looking watch.

Pricing around $2500 and still not selling very quickly when used. For me, the only real concern is the lack of micro adjust ... but I keep eyeing them as well

Nice looking. I do wish they made a 43+ mm version.

The lack of micro adjustment is my only issue with them... but its not a heavy watch, so its pretty comfortable anyways (mine was a little too loose than I would like to, but nothing major).

Probably see the micro adjustment and updated bracelet in 2015 sometime--I hope it will fit the older models....

Probably the best version of the model to date. The black ceramic Co-Ax.
only accurate watches are interesting

Jomashop has been doing some amazing sales of late on eBay.

Black and blue ceramic seamasters for 2499. Bnib.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

The blue is stunning in person and probably my favorite blue dial watch to date.

I absolutely loved the blue one, but couldn't for the life of me get a good fit with the bracelet

I dig everything about these watches but the bezel which kills it for me. Don't know why. Just not my thing.

Doesn't that end up as a link and a quarter or so?

I had to do all kinds of stuff to make one fit semi close.

About that. It helps dial in when a full link is not enough and another full link is too much.

I actually wore my 2500 PO with three half-links for a while.

Hoppy, do 3 x1/2 link not equal 1 full and 1 x 1/2 link?
Or is Omega math different than normal math :-)

I really like that bezel insert. Seems much more classic and high quality then the regular ones.

The 1/2 link on the 2500 PO isn't exactly a 1/2. I Believe it's a touch longer.

They are not actually 1/2, more like 2/3. They are just called 1/2 link.

I'm also not good at math.
