Newbie with Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph
Hi everyone,Just joined this forum and would like share with everyone my new time-piece. It's an Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph (most people will know from the pictures anyway) and I got it on Boxing Day to replace my old, battered Citizen chronograph. Plus it's a 25th birthday present to myself, my first 'proper' watch I've bought/owned. I know the watch isn't to everyone's tastes, especially being in orange, but I chose this colour as I've spent a year looking for a watch, from Tags to Rolex's to Breitlings, and none have caught my eye as much as this particular model. Everytime I look at it, I know it's going to take quite a while before I'm bored of looking at it, something I've been worried about when looking for a watch/time-piece. The anti-reflective coating on the front and back of the glass also gives the face a distinct blue tint in certain light and the sheer size of the dials makes it easier to see the time! The coaxial movement, even though I do not know much about it, see

14K Square back from watchmaker, and...
This was that "two-tone" Square that was on eBay in late August, with 5-page discussion in another thread. I bought it, after conferring with some more expert than I, but most of us were fooled by the poor quality photos into thinking that the center case was green gold:Here is my own photograph; after a light polish, the center of the case already looks less green:I bought it well aware that I'd never be satisfied with the dial and hands the way they were. Fortunately, through the generosity of Tom Diss I was quickly able to obtain another luminous dial in much better condition (I may have the old one refinished if International Dial can replicate the unusual design). After a good cleaning of the case, new crystal, sympathetic reluming of the hands (my watchmaker has a vintage-looking light green lume that is very nice), switching of the dial, and COA, here it is today. The center case is still a tad darker than the bezel and case back, but it is clearly white gold.

My two Omega favorites:
BUT, before mine comes in from DavidSW (which wii be very soon) I'd sure like to see some of your favoite Omega's. Remember, this thread is being devoted to your favorite omega of all times! So... lets have a look see!

Can you negotiate
I am considering buying the PO 42mm but the online price I can find is ?250 cheaper than the high street stores. Can you negotiate with high street chains or are they unable to offer discounts? I would prefer to buy from a known high street shop but ?250 is a big difference in price.

Picking up a 335, and last minute comments that'll make me change my mind?
