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,

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.

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 ,

Take care,

That's it. For the sake of everyone's sanity and self preservation, this thread is henceforth off limits to everyone except JJ and Denis. They can post as many pictures of the Pumpkin as they want here and the rest of us can stay away not have to be subjected to this monstrosity.

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.
