Incoming...I thought I had reached “Collection Nirvana”
I was wrong. For some reason, I decided to check out David SW’S site about a week ago. I decided I needed to trade my Stainless Planet Ocean 8500 for a Titanium Planet Ocean 8500. Both were/are 42mm.
David was great to deal with and we worked out the details and I had the watch by Friday. I’m very pleased with the watch. The weight difference is amazing. This is a very comfortable watch to wear. I wish I’d had this version from the beginning. I love the variable appearance of the blue colour as well. Obligatory wrist shot attached!

Hi. The model number is: 232.90.42.21.03.001 Titanium Omega Planet Ocean
I think it was about $8,500 new but you could usually buy Omega’s for 20% off. They go for about $4,200-$4,500 now. They haven’t made them for about 3 years I think.

I have the same one and got mine from DavidSW also. It was a great, almost perfect watch. Only thing it needed was the micro adjustable clasp which I have sourced and added and now it is perfect.

I couldn’t agree more! I have the stainless clasp with micro adjustments on it. I should try to source the titanium one but I’m not sure I’ll bother. No one would know it isn’t titanium. It is super comfortable.
