I tried on the GMTIIc twice before falling for my PO LM and agree totally with your comments. This beautiful watch speaks to you - the GMTIIc was 'Mute' by comparison. Now who wants to be 'Number Five'? Yours faithfully - 'Number Three'. p.s. If there was a Club for GMTIIc it would be a little more than four in number by now - don't you think? |

Five members. That's not bad considering only about 250 of the 1948 have so far been produced. If any UK members are interested in getting hold of one plese PM me. I'm on the list for the next one at the Omega Boutique in Bond Street but, as you can see, I've picked up one already.

Oh no! I think I am falling in love with this watch! Help!
I guess my only hope is to call the NYC Boutique and get on a list! Anyone know if they or another AD has one on hand? |

Just checked I'm 175/1948.
I bet the full 1948 are out there. It's a wide, wide world and five on this forum is not bad at all. |

I have noticed that the LM's bracelet feels lighter. Possibly cause the links are hollow?, not sure of this though.
P.S.: I totally blame Fr John for all those beautiful pics of his. -=thanks=- |

lovely pix guys - congrats on this beautiful piece.
what are the chances of Apple making a special edition iPhone/iPod/iPad to match the beautiful Omega Seamaster PO LM? |

Check the numbers on the clasp and end-pieces. They should be the same. The links are not hollow. Fr. John† |

Oh man I wish I could join....
I've got my pledge money ready....I just can't find one!!! I think that this is the hottest watch to be introduced in quite some time really, I think that the new Submariner is downright boring next to this one.. Hopefully an upcoming trip to Alaska will help...I've researched a few Omega dealers in Alaska, plus our cruise ship has an Omega contract... Wish me luck...I hope to be #6!! |

I shall call that an.... iBezel.
Did you know that Apple bought the LiquidMetal just a few days ago? Wondering how that will play in the future?

A few have had luck calling around to Boutiques and having the watch shipped. I had never seen the LiquidMetal "in the steel" and took a chance buying mine pre-owned. Fortunately, it was in mint, unworn condition, and beautiful. As for Apple, the agreement with LiquidMetal does not preclude Omega's use in watch production. Fr. John† |

I don't understand the difference between the Liquid Metal version of the PO and the standard PO. Is it simply that the bezel is made out of a different material? If so, why would that warrant such a large price hike?

Houston, welcome to the forum!
One more very important "feature" that hikes up the price: it's a limited, numbered edition.

Managed to get one last December, early number. The look of the watch is great and is a pleasure to wear although recent bezel insert problems have been slightly disappointing. Hopefully it will be repaired next week at the AD and back on wrist.

However, the LiquidMetal company can still sell the product to others that do not compete with Apple - Like Omega. A lot of companies use this LM technology besides Omega - I would not be surpised at all to see the iPhone 5 made out of it. |

If the Liquid Metal came in a 45mm version I'd seriously consider selling my left testicle to fund one.....

Sweet watch!
Sorry to be in the dark here, but what is the second winder for at the 10 o'clock position?
