Larryganz you inspired me. Jim was crazy busy today but ended up picking a watch for myself as well as my wife.

PO looks awesome with the rubber strap!

What did you get?

I finally got an aquaterra with framed date and omega PO for my wife. Here is my daughter modeling both

The AT 8500 wears perfectly, the increase in thickness over the 2500 feels right. Congrats, looks great in black.

I now have the rubber strap and Ti folding clasp installed on my own Ti PO 9300 LM, picked it up Thursday. The watch is much lighter and feels more stable on my wrist now. It was slightly tight in the photos and I loosened it one hole and now it's slightly loose but not so loose that it bothers me or moves around.

Beautiful watch. Want to sell the bracelet?

Sorry but I keep the original parts for all my watches when possible, and I do like the bracelet for using in my rotation.

Smart move. I about dropped the phone when I called Omega and they told me $2400 for the bracelet. Even the rep I had on the phone was like "yeah, I know. It's really high". Lol.

My OB wanted to sell me this PO on rubber for $10K including tax, and another $2,150 for the bracelet if I bought the watch. It's nuts.

Omega is my favorite brand but they really need to dial it back a few notches. From reducing the number of authorized dealers to not selling parts to watch makers to the yearly price jumps they are alienating a lot of potential customers.
