Price...$4,099.00
...and I have a 10% off coupon.

Opinions?

Love it. IMO Get the orange one.

jasonbellevue · 17 December 2007, 04:04 AM

Ruggedly handsome. Huge. A head turner. (i'm talking about the watch

)

I prefer the black one as pictured. It would look great on your wrist Robert. I prefer a Rolex over any Omega, but for variety and the 10% off, that would definitely seal the deal for me.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 December 2007, 04:09 AM

Go for it!

Anthony · 17 December 2007, 04:20 AM

Do it!!

gaopa · 17 December 2007, 05:19 AM

Robert, that is one fine looking Omega... I would just worry about depreciation in case I wanted to sell it at some point. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Bill P.

That is a fine piece just make sure that you have a look at the reviews and opinions regarding that movement first OK? There are several postings on TZ for example. The prices don't seem too high for resale but if yopu have an additional 10% off and your not flipping it I'd say go for it as that black version in particular is a real beauty!

Texsubmariner · 17 December 2007, 02:47 PM

That is a beauty. I am considering the 42 mm PO myself.

yemenmocha · 18 December 2007, 08:39 AM

I just bought an Omega Railmaster and was very impressed with the model you are considering. For those discounts, and assuming it's nicely within your budget then I would certainly go for it.

Wolfgang427 · 18 December 2007, 08:51 AM

I would do it.

I would by the black one you pictured.

frostie · 18 December 2007, 04:23 PM

Go for it

gtbike72 · 18 December 2007, 04:29 PM

just do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Pierce · 19 December 2007, 12:04 AM

Not a bad price and a great looking watch.

jhowton · 19 December 2007, 06:27 AM

The only thing to consider IMO if you like the looks is whether you will enjoy the size and weight of that watch. I had a 45.5mm non-chrono PO which was too big for me (7.5 inch wrist), I traded it for a 42mm and am much happier. Prior to buying the 45.5, I had tried on the Chrono version and elected to go with the non-chrono because it seemed much smaller. As much as I love the Chrono, there was no way I could wear it for any length of time it really is huge and heavy especially if you are coming to it from the Rolex world. I would say, find one locally and try it on before you commit because they depreciate faster than you can say depreciation.

42mm PO on 7.5" wrist

45.5mm PO on the same wrist:

The pictures are taken at different distances so the latter one looks grossly enlarged, just try to look at the sizes relative to my wrist.

Subfiend · 23 December 2007, 03:40 AM

Get it. And then flip it to me next year.

Spencer · 23 December 2007, 03:51 AM

Definitly a fan. I'd go for it.

bran · 23 December 2007, 08:21 AM

Go for it...why not.

thedips · 23 December 2007, 06:13 PM

god i love the look of that watch.. GOOO FOR ITTT

puffnmo · 24 December 2007, 03:14 AM

The PO also looks great on a black leather strap. I have a black and an orange, no subdials. Love 'em. Cheers, Larry.

Definitely a handsome watch. I'm more of a fan of the previous Seamasters, but for that price this would be hard to pass up. Omegas offer a tremendous value and they are great watches. I've had an SMP for 5 years and still love it and it's holding up beautifully.

Go for it!
