Where鈥檚 this info come from? I鈥檝e been trying to look for a bit more detail all day
My OB SA said they know nothing. But he DID say they had instructions to "clean up" a certain corner of the store (which has a number of ladies Connie's/etc).

If it is dog leg, high 30 mm, and 2 tone, I might just 馃榾

Agreed. Everyone still buys a Datejust and it looks the same as it did in the 60s. Why can鈥檛 omega just make a 166.010 seamaster on a BOR again. I鈥檇 buy one provided it wasn鈥檛 10 grand 馃槀

Don't worry. When they do that, it won't be 10 grand.

It'll be more like 15 grand. Or solid gold and $30K.

Wow, I pie pan return would be great. I know I am asking too much, but if the lugs are curved (which I can not recognize from the pictures) is going to be even better IMO. I am still digesting the drop of the curved lugs in the new PO.

I know there鈥檚 a few people who love this model. I actually love the looks but went to an AD to try it on and didn鈥檛 love how thick it was. And 39mm felt too big. Plus the bracelet is lacklustre

The lugs are nuts on that one, a 39 that wears like a 45(at least the AC).

Also, it has a pie pan dial, but it otherwise has nothing in common with he Connie's everyone wants.

I am a fan of the c case inspired look with the fluted bezel but yes you鈥檙e right it鈥檚 defo not what everyone is asking for. That would be too hard for omega to just make something people want 馃槀

It鈥檚 from someone I know who gave me a heads-up about the reverse Panda. Haven鈥檛 been wrong yet, but I wouldn鈥檛 mind if they were, this time around!

The pie pan dial is also very flat, something which becomes immediately apparent when compared against any of the 1950s/mid-1960s models, even the dome-dialed versions. It鈥檚 just not quite as striking as any of the originals.

I really want one of those annual calendar models at some point. It's very nice in person, but is a bit out of proportion for smaller wrists.

The Globemaster not being a big seller has little to do with it being a pie pan or not IMO. My issue with it was always that it's neither dressy nor sporty. I'm not sure what it's for or what it does better than other watches in their lineup. It also looks huge.

The one Delroy is wearing looks like a classic Constellation, which I think makes an awesome dress watch. I'm way more interested in that.

I wish they stopped making bracelets with no end-links. Looks so shitty and aftermarket.

Ugly design. Neither fish nor fowl. Or desirable.

The only thing going for the Globemaster is the dial. Everything else looks like the dog's breakfast.

It's bizarre that the luxury brands won't reissue the things we want.

Meanwhile Seiko is churning out nearly 1:1 reproductions of their greatest hits.

What's even more bizarre is when they finally do, it's some limited edition extremely expensive release that the majority of customers can't afford.

Urgh, I'm so sad... that is hideous. I'm thrilled there is at least a steel version, but the dial doesn't catch the awesomeness of a Pie Pan.

The lugs are odd too, they are short and chunky. I'm glad they went with dog-leg-esque legs, but the dial texturing ruins the pie-pan-ness to me.

I think this one is the pick for me, the metallic green in a stepped Piepan looks a lot better than I would have expected

I think it鈥檚 a pretty good release. Although I鈥檓 not sure how I feel about the dial, particularly those grooves on the outer track. But that鈥檚 to be expected from me because I never figured out which of the pie pan constellations I preferred.

I鈥檓 sure there鈥檚 gonna be lots of talk about the price as to be expected these days. I鈥檓 not mad about it in this case because they actually made some improvements.

1) new movement with an increased power reserve.
2) use of Omega steel alloy that is harder than 904L Steele and it is whiter in color. It鈥檚 similar to the Lucent steel used by Chopard.

I too would have preferred a secondhand. Slightly smaller dimensions would have been preferred by me too, but that is more of a personal preference.

I鈥檓 happy with my New York Boutique Seamaster which has similar applied dial furniture. A longer power reserve and Omega Steel would be awesome though.
