Orange Planet Ocean

I love this new watch from Omega , never liked the brand very much but this orange one is simply stunning. saw it a coupe of times in a thread of JJ and Chip and had to see it in real.

Please post some more pic's if possible.

Now , does anybody have the 42 mm ? if so can you please post a pic ?

I went to the Omega dealer yesterday to see it in real but they only had the big one. Need to try both to be sure which one to take.

it's been a long time since I have been so impressed by a new sport watch.

Are really sure JJ has not sent you a bribe to do this,there are thousands
of pictures posted of the PO by our Kiwi friend, admit they are the 45.5 version but there cannot be much difference in 3.5mm,

If the b**ger DID offer him a bribe he certainly ain't my friend anymore. I did it out of my own free will. And to think I could have made some easy extra Rolex money

Take care,

so far I have been able to find 9 nice pictures , could you please direct me to these thousands , thanks

and no I received no bribe what so ever , the fact of the matter is that one can find a un endless amount of pictures of Sub. , Daytona , YM , etc and so few of this new watch , I can assure you that this single watch will put Omega back in the prime light and since it will be some time before I will have one I will enjoy looking at many different pictures , the more the better I would say ,

Your wish is my command, DVR. You're a man with great tastes. Yes, the new PO is a very attractive watch and also very solid in construction and looks.

As for the size....I have a 7½" wrist and preferred the 45.5 mm diameter; but if your wrist is at least 7" then I would recommend the 45.5 mm size...the 42 mm would be okay but you might regret your decision later. Suggest you try them both on and be happy in your own decision.

One of the members of an Internet watch forum, Mr. F. Hens, a resident of the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, has been rushed to hospital today. After a thorough examination, Mr. Hens is believed to be suffering from a rare and yet undiscovered allergy. Because of the strange orange rash doctors at the St. Fransciscus hospital have christened the allergy PO Disease. More later.

Think its called orangepumpkinplanetoceanomegasyndrome the orange rash
is only the early stage.Stage two is seeing these orange PO everywhere
you look.Stage three orange spots before the eyes,stage four buying the
PO.Stage five the point of no return, uncontrollable urge,to post illicit
pictures of this PO at every conceivable opportunity.Stage six absolutely
no hope of a recovery,as there is no cure yet to this new PO syndrome.

A spokesperson for the Rotterdam St. Fransiscus Hospital issued the following statement regarding the case of one of their patients, Mr. H. (Dutch legislation prohibits the further use of said patient’s full name).

Professor Doctor Derksen, the eminent Dutch Dermatologist, had discovered the cause of Mr. H’s disease. It seems to be purely psychological and although it was touch-and-go, the patient is now stable. Before becoming comatose, the patient was heard uttering the following strange comment: “I only followed JJ’s advice” and this enhanced the opinion it is psychological.

Prof. Derksen has come up with a cure, but it is a highly experimental and still untested procedure. And the patient is condemned to undergo this treatment for the rest of his natural life. He has to wear a Rolex Submariner Date or a Rolex Sea-Dweller on either wrist, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Mr. H’s fellow forum members already have started to collect funds for the benefit of his treatment and are confident they can present the hospital with a Rolex “very soon”. One of them explained very moved: “he sacrificed himself to save the rest of us, this is the least we can do”. More to follow.

The second word is off sorry Frans, as your present condition was unconditionally caused by excessive viewing of the illicit PO. We feel as fellow
forum members, that the main instigator in posting these illicit PO pictures
namely the member JJ Irani. Should bare all costs toward,and any compensation cost or cure seek-ed, for your terrible exposure to this PO syndrome.

No worries....provided OMEGA compensate me for all the free publicity I've been giving them in return.

You see, I knew something terrible like this would happen if we continued to allow the posting of those awful orange pumkin pictures. I kept trying to warn everyone but would anyone listen? No. Well, here we have the results of this foul deed.

I don't think Dr. Derksen's cure could possibly work. The only potential hope of a cure is to remove every offending picture of the orange pumpkin from TRF, now and forever more. Even that might not work, but it is worth a try.

I would doubt now if that would work, but worth a try Ed,we have been exposed to these PO pictures for too long.Could possibly be a form of PO
brainwashing perhaps the member who posted these pictures, is a Omega special, hairless on top agent.

For all things holy JJ, how long are you intending on milking and stretching this PO thing? If I do a forum search on 'PO' or 'Orange', I get a 'devide overflow error', meaning the system can't take it anymore. And neither can I. But you may send me details on the movement, pictures of the goodies that came with the watch and a detailed description/review of the PO via PRIVATE e-mail PRIVATE, you hear?

Take care buddy,

Frans.
