Why do I have this uncontrollable urge to want to order the Omega rubber strap with the folding clasp?

I'm right there with you. I spoke to him last week and almost pulled the trigger. I like the look of the bracelet too much, though.

Well, it appears the OB closed early due to bad weather in Denver. I'll have to call them back later...
BTW great looking watch! You can never have too many strap options!

Larry, that's a great looking watch. Probably too massive for me, but it looks well-proportioned on your wrist.

Congrats Larry looks great. How thick is it?

You can see from the photos, it's thick enough. I'm guessing 19mm or so, but the case-back sinks into the skin of my wrist, so to the eye it only looks to be sticking up a little over half an inch.

It is almost as big as a Ploprof. Great looking watch and it fits your wrist like it was custom made for you.

Thanks. I tried it on the Omega rubber when I was at the OB on March 2nd and I liked it. So I ordered the strap last Wednesday...

I really wanted to help Jim out @ Continental Jewelers, by purchasing a watch from his inventory before he shuts down next Month.

I was just going to go cheap, and called him up last week about the previous model grey dial AT Quartz on his and my list, but it was gone (I've bought and returned two opaline teak dialed watches because grey just looks better). The ladies watch for my wife was also already sold. But I still had a couple left on my wish list. No Pitch Black, sorry.

Just out of curiosity I asked about another watch that I'd had my eye on for a while and had been trying on at the Denver OB, and the price was more than I had planned to spend but too good to pass up. I saved over $4,000 vs the OB price! He's a good salesman and almost got me to do a package deal for the Ti X-33 Speedmaster for my son too. Sigh...

So, here is it. My new Ti PO 9300 LM, in all it's glory, with full 4-yr Omega warranty and all boxes, cards, and hang tag (still the old red leather box). It's a big watch, but it suits me because I'm not tiny either.

I immediately swapped it to a dark blue ISOFRANE rubber strap, although the Omega blue rubber strap with Ti folding clasp would be nicer than this one. I initially wanted to preserve the Ti bracelet which costs $2,100 to replace at the OB. But the ISOFRANE squeezes the sides of my wrist a little bit more than I'd like, and I wonder if it only needs to break in. Just to check the comfort, I put it back on bracelet for a few more photos, minus 2 links, and I may leave it like this until I get the Omega rubber strap for it.
Absolutely love this watch, will most likely be my next Omega purchase. Wish you good health to wear it Sir

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!
