    Omega Titanium Planet Ocean 9300 new for 47% off flash sale at Jomashop till 8/7/18 - $5,650!

    https://www.jomashop.com/omega-watc...MI7fKJ663N3AIVl7aWCh0ZdgFYEAkYASABEgL0T_D_BwE

    Retail was $10,800 when I got mine from Jim at Continental Jewelers at a huge discount. But this is much cheaper for the next week - cheap enough to pay for a couple of services at Omega over the next few years.

    I love this watch and would like a few others to have a chance at one too.

    Watchmaxx is selling the non-chrono 42mm Ti on bracelet version for $3800... pre-owned has been floating around the 4's. I'm even considering buying from them though I have always felt the need to avoid gray dealers that don't provide warranty cards (even if blank and invalid).

    Idk these 2nd gens are a bit unloved due to the height. But insane price for a Ti even if they are not the most searched variant

    I just don't understand why these aren't impossible to find by now. It's a fantastic watch.

    I would never buy a watch that size. I'm an average sized guy, so maybe half the population are ruled out on size.
    Retailers make money on turnover more so than profit margin. If a stock item isn't selling fast enough, betteroff to get rid of it & find a better item to stock.

    I feel like the height on all Omegas are crazy. I would own so many Omegas, but the height keeps stopping me.

    I’d say a lot are out there on the grey market. It’s not a reflection of the watch though.

    It’s the most expensive of the most expensive planet ocean of its time. POC’s in the first and 2nd gen are somewhat rare. Raise the price even more for Ti and you get less buyers. I’ll bet Omega sent them to every AD and few sold before the third gen hit. Top it off with the 2nd gens being the tallest and you get a perfect storm.

    I got a great deal on mine from Jim as well but have seen these selling around this price for a while. It just does not seem like a popular model so AD's must be blowing them out lower than what they paid.

    Nice watch! I doubt it will last long at that price.

    Yes, but at 50% off now it seemed like a no-brainer. I pull off wearing this watch 5 out of 7 days, despite the thickness, and with the 1151 adjustable Ti clasp it always fits just right. For me, the watch seems to be right at home on my arm.

    Photo taken from 10 feet away by my wife while on vacation (cropped from 12mp to 0.6mp), and it doesn't look too big or out of place at all. They always looks bigger in photos from a cell phone 2 feet away.

    How much thinner is the 3rd gen 9900? I tried on the 3rd Gen recently, and it didn't seem any different in size or wear. It's nice and all, but the grey and orange just doesn't feel as special or luxurious as the gloss blue dial and LM bezel. If I want grey, my GSOTM fits the bill so much better.

    I’m not slamming the watch just explaining why so many are in the grey market and the price is so low.

    As for thickness when I got my 3313 the 2nd gen was out. They sat noticeably higher and it’s one of the reasons I went 3313.

    Totally understand this, had mine for about 2 years and although it’s a fantastic watch most comments were about how big it is..........something I’ve never had anyone tell me before! ::facepalm1::

    It’s a great watch, height makes it tough to wear under dress shirts. Thinking of selling mine and getting the Planet Ocean Deep Black - any thoughts?

    It's taking all my self control to not push checkout on the blue dial Ti GMT 600M on the bracelet for $5150. It's only 43.5mm too :D
