·OK. I regret to blah blah blah...and selling because Blah blah and none of your business really....and all that said:
For your consideration the one and only (0663 out of 1948 to be exact)Omega Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Limited Edition 222.30.42.20.01.001.
Don't confuse it with the Titanium Liquidmetal or any other. this is the original Limited Edition.
Full Set:
Inner and outer Box
Certificate of authenticity
Cards:
Warranty Card stamped 2011
Pictograms
Chronometer Certificate
Limited Series card 663/1948
The watch is in excellent condition. A couple of minor marks on lugs from strap changes (see pics) crystal is clear clear clear. Bracelet is in amazing condition with barely any marks even from desk diving (see pics) I normally wear it on a NATO or kevlar straps (see pics yet again) which is why the bracelet is pristine. That said it is a used watch and it has been used so it is what it is. look at pics, email me if you need further pics or have questions. I don't polish watches.
One set of pics is taken yesterday and today for your technical viewing...the other on follow up post is actual pictures of me wearing it on different configurations so you can see it on all it's glory.
Now...for those that don't know what this watch is (you know who you are but please don't confess to it in public).
The PO LMLE is the culmination of years of design and technological work at play a few years back. Basically Omega decided to issue this watch and prove that they got it. Ceramic Bezel (when they didn't have it elsewhere) Ceramic Dial which matches the bezel perfectly & applied metal numerals and Logo and a little thing called zirconium dioxide which is a metal treatment that blends with the ceramic. This applied metal is on the bezel and in the dial. It is by far the most desirable Planet Ocean, and the only that commanded higher prices on the second market than at the stores when issued.
What make this watch special is:
- 2500 caliber movement (giving it a slimmer profile)
- All the modern aesthetics of ceramic and metal but on the slimmer profile case. The 8500 cal does have ceramic and there are some modern liquidmetal watches but not this simple and not this slim)
- 42mm diameter
- Perfectly matched dial and bezel. (the old PO has a darker dial than bezel and the modern one has a grey dial and black bezel...this one matches (what a concept!)
- limited to 1947 watches (try to find them around...then hope to get a full set)
-Legends are in Red, not orange. Is that cool? yes but I suppose that if all PO's had red legends then the cool thing would be to have it in orange here...point is: it's different and very Limit(y)
When Omega announced they where bringing the liquidmetal technology back this year everyone was looking forward to the innovation (just a few years after this was made)...unfortunately we all know what 2016 brought to the PO line which makes this watch all the more relevant....it's what you wish they had done again, but they didn't, so....
I am asking $6000 US but feel free to PM me with offers just as long as you are not absolutely crazy out of your mind or confuse me with a carpet vendor in Istanbul. Honestly there is a little room for wiggle here but it really will depend on method of payment and politeness.
I prefer Bank transfer. If you have other ideas let me know.
NYC in person accepted as well...and then you can inspect, see and even try it on as long as you are wearing a nice shirt (not for the watch, but for my amusement)
If the watch is not authentic or it is grossly misrepresented (and read through my long post here and see pictures and ask questions) then I will accept a return. So basically I don't accept returns as I am quite confident of what I am posting.
Absolutely NO REMORSE BUYER returns. I feel you, I really do. I have a wife a son 2 cats and a dog and I feel responsible for my family, and to top it of my mother, although not jewish, might as well have been because I hear her voice in my head every time I buy something for myself....so, I get it, but think before buying and then man up.
References: I've sold and bought plenty, I admit to not really caring much about making sure people post references for me around, my bad. But I do think within Omega Forums I have a good standing. Ask around. Don't ask me for my birth certificate please...
