That is such a beautiful watch! Could anyone recommend an AD where they have good service and pricing on such the liquid metal? You could send me a PM please. This is such a great forum!
Thanks! |

I'm holding out hope that they'll come out with a PO-LM "big size". I'd love nothing more than to have a 45mm+ PO-LM

I can't wait any longer, I'd hoped to be number 7, but I'm picking mine up from Bond Street this afternoon. So I guess I'll be number 6!

But I chose the PO LM over the Sub primarily because Omega got it right with the ceramic bezel. The numbers/markers of the Sub-C/GMT IIc bezel are recessed and applied using a PVD-type process. This design makes the marker/numbers susceptible to chipping and scratches. On the other hand, the markers/numbers of the LM are flush with the ceramic and bonded, not applied. The Liquidmetal is also 3X harder than SS with the result being that the LM bezel is virtually impervious to chips and scratches. There are other factors that influenced my decision such as co-axial movement, styling, outstanding bracelet, and overall quality. The ceramic dial is also a work of art. Being a LE is a plus as well. Fr. John† |

There is a great video on the Omega corporate site that shows how they do the liquid metal bezel. Really cool.

Some wonderful photography of an unbelievably classy looking timepiece!
I can't think of any other brand that would have a more visually pleasing model. Well done Omega |

Liquid Metal on leather strap
I got a Hirsch curved end strap (principal Leonardo) for my Omega LM and I like the way it looks. It´s not as nice as the bracelet but I thought I could try it for a while just for fun.
What do you guys think? |

Over on the Rolex forum, there are those that poo-poo the LM and say it's not worth the price premium over regular POs. Some even go so far as to say they prefer the regular PO (matte dial)....
I've only seen pix of the LM, and to me, it looks fantastic..... Wondering what y'all think, if anything, of the criticisms. |

Not to rubbish the LM what so ever it is a fantasic watch but I have to say I would go with the standard PO ! If they both were the same price then yes LM all the way but I don't think the LM pushes past the standard PO, I would of liked a little difference if you get what I mean... I think the PO fits in the market so well they needed to up the ante a little more on the LM. Sam |

I saw that thread. I own both Rolex and Omega so I speak from both sides. There will always be more people choosing the Sub-C over the PO LM as every man and their dog has a Sub-C. PO LM owners belong in a rare and exclusive club. There are only 1947 (I have 2 PO LM) of us. Just look at the For Sale section, there are so many Sub-Cs for sale but not one PO LM. As for the PO vs PO LM comparison, the PO is a great watch but the PO LM is on another level. Hold the watch next to each other and the PO LM's dial, bezel, applied markers and logo is a huge improvement over the PO. As for the Sub-C vs PO LM. No contest. It's PO LM all the way. Exclusivity and rarity goes to the PO LM. Looks goes to the PO LM as the Sub-C looks dated. Both watches keep good time and can last a lifetime. Generally, a Rolex will hold their value better than an Omega but in the case of PO LM and the Sub-C, the PO LM due to it's exclusivity will hold their value better than the mass-produced Sub-C. |

It would be interesting to see what LM# each one of us have. Both my PO LM is in the 1000-1100 of 1948 range.
