So, a GMT (and this one in particular) has been on the short-list for quite awhile, and this deal was too good to pass up. Like Jeremy, I was tired of waiting on a Tudor and I've lusted after this model since it was released. Happy to join!!!
Wohoo!! Looks great on your wrist, and congratulations. I was worried it would be too thick, but the case back seems to settle in the wrist a little and it fits great. I think Omega overpriced these a bit when they first came out, which is a shame because they’re great watches.
These were never popular enough to have a nickname, but I think we should call them the “orca” given their size and coloration. Hope to see some more posted!
Thanks, and I agree with everything you've said about it, part of the reason I became so convicted in my pursuit to get one. 'Orca' works for me, but I think it also applies to another watch/model. I've been calling it 'S&P' for 'salt and pepper.' 😁
I like Oreo...more like a double stuffed Oreo. Anyone get it on the strap? I’m curious how the leather insert holds up. It might be a nice option to have.
I’ll be interested to hear how th NATO works out. I’m particularly interested to know whether it makes the watch stick out appreciably.
Size was always a concern of mne. Many commented on cuff link compatibility etc.
However if the GMT has no difference size wise to the regular PO I wouldn't worry.
I wear mine at home just to look at it & at weekends on Conferences with Omega Cuff Links & suit no problem at all. I considered changing it once, thankfully I didn't.
I’ve always liked the splash of orange in that version. The GMT is almost exactly 1mm thicker than the planet ocean, which isn’t a make-or-break deal for me. Here are a few more pics to show the thickness...hopefully:
