    Anything more than outright speculation on what Omega may be offering at the next show?

    Not that I've heard (and I have no special connections, unlike Superdoc) ... but we can start an outright speculations thread ...

    All watches apart from speey pro will have in house design movements by 2017 so the 2500D should be phased out. Wondering if this happens at B 2016 or 2017

    Looking forward to a PO update. Guessing a new adjustable clasp along with master coaxial / master chronometer designation.

    Perhaps a glossy black and/or multi color bezel?

    I would guess that it will be one of the last models to be upgraded. The most recent upgrade occurred (I believe) in 2012 (if any other forum members know this better, please correct me if I am wrong). I'm guessing that the next version, probably still a couple of years away, will feature the calibre 8500 Master Co-Axial movement; a sapphire caseback; a Liquidmetal bezel; a micro-adjustable clasp; and a hefty price increase to go along with it. Time will tell if I am right ...

    Yea I actually was about to get the PO grey but i've never been a fan of the grey, it looks dull? I preferred the black on the old steel so a black ceramic PO is a no brainer hope they reveal that

    Sounds about right. Current UK price SMP £2770, Moonwatch £3,340, AT £3,500 plus and PO £3,900. Omega should shift the prices up across the range and you could be paying more than a £750 increase on SMP, I think it will happen but we are a couple of years away I agree. A big price increase but a hell of an upgrade for the SMP to be brought in line with other models re movement, also certain De Vile models with 2500D need upgrading also. The moonwatch will keep increasing but should not be changed as it is thankfully in a historical time warp.:)
