After my multi year Omega watch hobby absence, I now have two nice Omegas. The modern PO is my daily. Now looking forward to finding a nice 39mm omega. Thinking about this yellow oddity. Has anyone owned and actually kept this yellow version? ..

 

honestly have never seen that yellow dialed model... dates to mid-90's (?)

 

Sounds about right, it's sometimes called the schumacher model, not to be confused with another 39 mm omega model with the same name.
I tried one on years ago, the seller told me he couldn't sell it because of the dial- now strangely, I want one....

 

Never owned nor seen one in person, but I love that dial colour.

 

thanks for your comment. Everyone says it an odd color, but even Rolex now has these bright/odd color dials. I've never purchased from Japan, but that is where one is listed in the bay.... who knows

 

I don’t think it’s an odd colour at all.

Regardless of whether these bright colours are “in” or not, if you like them you should wear them. That’s what I think

 

good point, it was years ago when I almost pulled the trigger on this one at a watch show. Now I am seeking all of those missed buys.

 

the yellow one looks fast

First time seeing a Yellow dial - looks great
