Only one problem...
It only looks good on my thigh!

45 x 18 mm.

JJ Irani · 9 February 2006, 02:27 AM

Not much of a titanium lover, but on that watch it does look very cool. Superb pics of my favourite colour dial.

Rockrolex · 9 February 2006, 02:43 AM

At 45 x 18, that is a monster, Chip. But a good looking one at that. Enjoy.

Would it make you feel better if I would tell you that it replaced the pumpkin?

Imeasurably.

SLRdude · 9 February 2006, 02:53 AM

Eventually I WILL replace it with a black one though.
Would the black one be able to obtain your seal of approval?

Absolutely.

There's just something about that pukey orange color that sets me off.

Agreed. And I actually like orange (like the OM, or even the orange Tudor Aquanaut). I've had both the orange PO and the black PO on my wrist...

The black one wins hands down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Ed, you're a man of taste and style.

Thank you, John. It takes one to know one.

Nice watch and pics Chip.

Thanks for sharing

Hope you enjoy it

ralphieralph · 9 February 2006, 11:55 AM

Cool watch Chip...Goodluck with it

C.J. · 9 February 2006, 03:39 PM

Very nice, Chip.

Good luck with it.

I thought you didn't like Omega!!

Hey Chip:
I don't know how you did this, but without being told, one can immediately see by the non-reflecting surfaces that this is a titanium watch and bracelet

The photographs of the dial in diminishing light stages showing the luminosity is very effective as well.

Two questions:
1. Is the small dial at 6 o'clock a 2nd time zone?

2 Dimensions of the model indicate just how large it is, but how much does it weigh all up?

The photo work on this watch is award winning. Thanks

Steve

I don't JJ. But I can appreciate some of their products and the black PO is one I admire. I'd never own one, but it's a nice watch. Just like the speedy. Nice, but I'd never own one.

Thanks!

1. The small dial at 6 is an hour counter for the chronograph. It can register up to 12 hours.

2. It weighs 100.2 grams head only, no bracelet or strap. It is not quite as heavy as my AquaTerra chronograph (pictured elsewhere on this forum). I'd say that with the bracelet it weighs about the same as a Dweller.

The SD weighs in at 148 grams, so this one will weigh much more.

My Crosswind head weighed in at 107 grams and the watch overall, a whopping 190 grams. Your watch (with all links on) should be pretty close to 200 grams.
