I go back and forth on these. Something about it left me flat when inspecting one at Torneau last summer. I can't even put into words what was lacking for me, but I was distracted by an electric blue Seamaster instead of this... |

Mark you need to bring blinders with you when going into a high end AD, that way you can focus on one watch at a time and not get distracted  |

I'll have to go check one out Mark, truth is the only Omega i ever had a hankering for is that beautiful AT of your. |

I know that I am among an extreme minority, but most Omega leave me "flat"! |

I like them but what has kept me from buying one is I know to many folks who have had to send one in for some issue or the other within the first year. I'd be more apt to buy a older model preowned and working great for a few years. |

I am in the minority here... I own some but I am not a blind follower of everything they do, either - because I think that Omega has some VERY attractive models, despite the apparent "sameness" of some of them. Gotta give Omega kudos for being innovative (Ploprof, co-ax movement, the old "bumpers", the Alaska Project... and that cool ring-in (cos it used the Accutron tuning fork movement) the f300Hz on the spectacular 120m diver I used to have...), but I see Ken's point about some Omegas leaving people cold. Kinda like an Audi ~ too clinical for some, but way cool to some others. And then along comes an S8 V10 ... When (IF!!) Omega makes a 44mm Tek-Dial Aqua Terra with the dark grey face, I would get one in a heartbeat, but thats like asking for snow not to melt  cos the AT line tops out at 42mm and has for quite a few years. Thank goodness I am patient . Being in "save" mode for something else helps a lot, too!My current Omegas are Planet Oceans - one 45.5mm in SS and one in rose gold. Both keep deadly time, both get compliments from the un-cogniscenti, and I feel good wearing them. All the others (about 20 of them over the years) have come and gone. I have never had an issue with an Omega within 12 months, or at all, Ken, so ya can't make a blanket condemnation on the brand from a few bad anecdotes. Every maker has dramas sometimes... and it is certainly not just the cheapies that cr*p out on the odd occasion! Tony - I reckon you should go for it, good sir. My POs feel great on the wrist (you would prefer the 45.5 version, I think, cos the 42 is not your "style" from what I see in your posts...), and mine are understated enough to be dressy, or dressed down. Put one of those 45.5mm orange bezelled puppies on a 22mm Omega mesh and you'll never look back! Good hunting! IanM hand6.gif (now officially OFF the soapbox...!)
