    I assume as long as we discuss price we can’t afford it

    Meh. It looks like all the radium lume has fallen off the hour numbers.

    I'm not clear, I read it as a pre-war movement from the vault, reworked and dressed up.
    I'm thinking 18Chro, not 18 (2018) !

    Yup, times 19 (18 for sale, one is the demo with a serial number of zero).

    Kinda smacks of a company struggling to find something relevant to do, failing, and instead doing something irrelevant, that won’t sell, isn’t pushing watchmaking forward, but does mean they get to throw a party for the boys, with cars and dress up.

    Meh.

    Setting aside the ridiculous size, I find the pink gold crown and pusher and (single) hand to be absurd.

    I agree, Tony!
    A great idea, awkwardly executed.

    The original had the pink gold pusher and crown.

    It also had lume, not sure why they omitted the lume:confused:

    Agree that it’s a bit of a bizarre exercise.

    Interesting. My view is that colored metal crowns and pushers should never be used unless there is also dial furniture in the same color metal.

    I see these on eBay all the time. I guess Omega wanted to get in on the action too.

    I thought this was a joke. Imagine my surprise when I found myself on the Omega site!

    I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't flown into Geneva with the other Omega collector muckitymucks to see the unveiling of this piece:p
