Omega Planet Ocean Chrono very sexxxxy!!!!

[bing]

It's been a while since we had a watch thread, I've just come across this new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chrono and I love it.

Does anyone know when or if this watch is released yet and what the RRP is? I was going to get the Navitimer this year but I've just changed my mind.....mmmm

Now which colour-

This one:-



or this one:-




desicions desicions....

Orange bezel. Black looks too plain IMHO

About $3500 US give or take.

Black bezel - give it 3 years and you'll regret the orange.

I agree with that. I think they're great looking watches, I do prefer the metal strap however...

if you buy the orange, find out how much a black bezel would be to purchase seprarately. Any competant watch maker could switch them over. You'd still be left with the orange numbers on the dial though.

The black one has those too anyhow though.

For the record - buy the black one. Much better.

Orange, black is too boring.

[raceboy]

I'd go Orange, but then it all boils down to personal taste (or lack of ) depends whether it's your only watch, there is going to be times when the orange is going to look a little too brash.
If your having to ask the opinion of others I'd say it wasn't for you, I'm surprised no ones mentioned a completly different watch you should be looking at instead.......mmmm Green bezel Rolex Submariner... mmmmm

[klassiekerrally]

Black.
But I'd go for this one:

Just love it...

Or if Omega is a must, then this one:

First watch on the moon...

ooohhhh no not for me sir...far tooo used car sales man!!!!!

Having said that the Omega retails at about £2900ish I've been told, thats nearly IWC money......mmmmm

[sstein]

Tag Heure Monaco !!

I have the chance to get a real Tag Monaco brand new (or any Tag for that matter) 40% of list. Im so tempted to get it and flog it on ebay, make a couple of hundred quid!

I also like the carrera, but this is te watch for me

Yep - got one of those in my collection with the rare hesalite crystal back. Fabulous watch and reasonably priced. The Appollo 11 anniversary version with the white face is also rather nice, as is the Earth Moon Mars Limited Edition.

Might treat myself to a PLanet Ocean though - has to be with the SS strap and the Orange Bezel (full size).

Are you sure ?, that's well into IWC money,

www.blitzwatches.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productid=1531

the pilot automatic chronograph is only £2350 retatil, though available for less obviously

[bing]

Yep the tag is nice:-

I have this in my collection and LOVE it to bits:-



The planet ocean with chrono looks so seXXXy!!!....mmmm

Edit - Yep ledger the Plaet Ocean Chrono is about £2900ish on a braclet I called up omega in Bond St and they told me that the watch is not out until Aug, when in Aug they are not sure yet!!!

See the floodgates are open now, everyones got an alternative

Personally I'm not keen on all the TAG 'copy' sorry 're-issue' stuff, and when you think you can get hold of an 'original' 1970's model for £1500-£2000 it's no contest

[jamieboy]

I'd say go for the orange - the black one is nice enough, but nothing special in my eyes.

Not a fan of the Monaco, personally. I've got a Carrera 40th anniversary, which I like, and just recently got a Panerai Luminor Marina which I'm very chuffed with indeed.

[xjsjohn]

if orange does it for you, try the "origional" orange watch ... a Doxa



me, i'll stick to my Speedmaster

A Heuer Carrera was the watch that got my 'collection' rolling, paid £175 for it about 10 years ago, and still love it.


If I could manage to stop spending money on the necessities I really fancy a Luminor, I guess I'm just a big watch junkie
