I agree it's pricey. Nice though. Think it looks good.

I'm a big Porsche guy, so I tried to order one. FWIW, they are LONG sold out with a waitlist. I just dig the look and it's not something that I'd normally get, but dunno, this one just feels cool to me.

I think it’s awesome. It’s only $911 more than a xSOTM model (which are the most comparable ceramic models) and is truly limited.

Too much money for what it is

Would you pay the money if it wasn't 'limited' ............

It's a fundraiser for PCA and a great way to support the organization if you are a Porcshe aficionado.

Seems like they underestimated the interest and could probably sell another hundred without a problem.

The Omega design team could have done a better job.Put me in charge and I'll show you how it's done !

1/ Use recycle parts of a Porsche car and incorporate them into every limited Racing dial watches. Very Cool !
2/ That Porsche badge should have been applied onto the subdial register at the 9 o'clock position
3/ The dial should have mimic the radiator grill of a Porsche in 3D just like what Omega did with the dial of the SMP PO Skyfall watch
4/Personally I would have opted for the retro tonneau shape casing of the Speedmaster Mark II instead of the Racing dial
5/ Last picture : Yeah ! That's how exhibition caseback display should look like with that cute yellow ceramic brake !

PORSCHE Omega Limited edition.

I own one of this PCA watch and I must admit.
It's a great watch. I might sell mine to make room for a new arrival.
If anyone is interested DM

Looking back now, anyone have additional thoughts on this watch? Happy they bought it? Does it get wrist time? Regret it? Already got rid of it?

I have this watch and the only problem was lack of deployant strap. I fixed that with a customer strap from jean rousseau and a GSOM deployant. With that change, I wear it alot more. Still luv the yellow accents.
