·Looks the nuts
Different strokes for different folks!
I didn't find it fit particularly well on my wrist, I didn't like the aged silvering, I didn't like the 925 on the dial, and I felt that for what it is, the price is more than I would be willing to pay.

·It is all market dependent. In the USA, right now, it is available for purchase on line. Other markets will show different availability.

·Visited 2 AD`s in my area this week and neither had one, both said not to expect one before September when `` Omega should have cleared all back logs`` . Exact same phrase was used 👎

·The US store still has some in stock then. What I'm trying to say is that it bodes ill for future availability if they're not available in Switzerland.

·^^^ this, plus CK 859 was originally a 'limited edition' and Omega probably produced that number before deciding to make it a 'numbered edition'. Omega will have to schedule the next batch but that may be three to six months out. Doubt it has been discontinued.
Still available today on the US website for immediate purchase.

·I just saw one for sale at the London OB. They had another one in stock.
To be honest I was a bit disappointed. I didn't like the way the lugs did not fit my small wrist. They would fit if they were curved or twisted, but they're basically flat. Not for me, unfortunately.

·Well, I changed my mind. I realized it was just a problem of the strap being too loose. So I bought it and got myself an extra hole in the strap.
I love how the watch seems to have a different color every time I look at it.

·Hoping to learn from the wide & vast knowledge-base of fellow OF members: why do sector dials like the CK 859 and Patek 5296g have 3 rings on the dial? In Omega's case: 2 rail road tracks, and 1 inner circle in bold print.
On initial reaction, it seems unnecessarily busy, compared to the JLC Master Control sector dial which has just 2 layers of circular print (outer minute markers, inner hour ring).

·Okay, so here’s a question: if the dial is ag925, or sterling silver, I can foresee a problem: all items I’ve ever seen with this grade of silver eventually develop a very dark, almost black tarnish. Obviously, it that were to happen, this dial would become illegible.
I guess we are all assuming Omega is aware of this, and has taking steps to mitigate this. But does anyone know for sure what they’ve done to remedy this?

There are more knowledgeable persons here to correct me if I'm wrong.

Ehm, a coat of lacquer?

·I understand that dial is not Sterling silver or untreated silver. Its rather silver base plate with lacquer paint on it, therefore, getting it black with oxidisation process is definitely ruled out.
There are more knowledgeable persons here to correct me if I'm wrong.
From the Omega website:
“The 39 mm case is crafted in stainless steel and features a vintage OMEGA logo embossed on the crown. Behind the domed sapphire crystal, the dial is made from Ag 925 silver, with blued hands and all markings transferred in dark blue. There is also a small-seconds subdial display at 6H”
Ehm, a coat of lacquer?
I’ve read the dial will patina, so maybe a planned lacquer degradation?

·One ring for hours, one for minutes and one for seconds.
Interesting to note that the Omega release has a seconds ring, even though it's a sub-seconds watch. You could argue that it's a minutes ring, but that would mean it has two sets of minute hashes.

Yes! That's precisely what threw me off, on Omega's design. The small seconds makes 1 of the 3 rings feel redundant at first glance. But I'm probably overthinking it 😉

·The PP makes more sense but the Omega looks better.
