Nice. That's a hefty watch. I have the 42mm version.

Love that! Congrats

I’d love to source one for my 43.5MM PO, boutique the best place?

Nice! I have mine on rubber- only way I can wear that due to size/weight on the bracelet.

I agree. The best PO dial in my opinion. I love the open 6/9.

Well done. I own the same watch with regular bracelet and IMHO this is the best looking modern Omega. Congratulations.

I owned this watch when it was originally released.........let it go as I figured it would always be easy to reacquire. Turns out, the model that came from Omega with Shark Cage bracelet became rather rare. Sure, you could always add the bracelet to your PO but one, with its own designated model number, not so easy to find. Anyway, found this one, in virtual mint condition at a more than fair price.

I'm with you...not only the best looking PO ever made but, the best looking modern Omega as well!!!!

The second best IMHO.

The LM LE is the best modern Omega PO.

:)

Looks great regardless and I'd gladly settle for these over the newer iterations. I hope Omega goes back to this style and case profile with new movements.

You mean the liquid metal 42mm right? yeah that is a killer watch indeed.

Yeah.....that one was a beauty as well As I remember, the only difference between the standard 42mm PO and the 42mm POLM LE was the bezel, correct?

Kingkrily had a complete set for sale some time ago. It was 8, then 7, 6 and a half but it was there unsold for a long time. Not sure what happened. Maybe he still have this one but I don't know.

Yes I noticed his ad. 12 months ago but with little to no update. Maybe he sold it.
