Omega PO Chronograpgh

I had an Omega Seamaster PO last year and sold it for a Panerai PAM111H. I’m pretty happy with transaction (wearing my PAM today) however after seeing this new Omega PO Chrono I’m starting to think about going back and buying this bad boy. I love the orange numbers and orange stitching on the leather band.

Thoughts?

It looks positively stunning. I'm sure even Ed will be tolerant of that little ORANGE out there....very subtle and beautifully decorated!!

Excellent idea of putting the date in at 4:30 and putting in that '3' to give the dial perfect symmetery.

Gotta admit it, that's actually pretty handsome.

But I'd still take a PAM111 over it any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Ugly dial, but I like the rest of the watch.

Now this has got me thinking about a couple of watches I'd consider buying -- the JLC Master Compressor Chronograph and Extreme World Chronograph (way too big for my little wrist.)

Anybody have either of those yet?

I like the watch, but could do without the orange. I think if they were just done in white it would look better, MHO.

You are a man with excellent taste, Craig.

I just wish that JLC wasn't making all their watches so big these days.

I agree That would dwarf my wrist, but for that piece I could make the exception
