This topic is here as IMO this is the most appropriate forum as the new site gets completed:

I caught a bug upon my return from Japan, and have spent time catching up on some of my favorite TV series via DVR.

It appears that Omega has a placement deal with CBS as I have noticed that the leads on NCIS and Numbers, two of CBS's hot primetime shows, have recently been wearing orange bezel POs. (Mark Harmon as Gibbs on NCIS used to wear a white face Explorer II).

The 'non watch' forum is the most appropriate one for that subject?

Obviously the 'bug' has hit you harder than you thought......

Since I think his intention was to discuss product placement as a form of advertising more so than the watch itself, I think OT is fine. :)

As we don't have a Non-Rolex Watch-Talk section yet (if, indeed, he wished to talk specifically about watch product placement), then I'd agree with geoff that this is where it should go.

Saying that, I don't understand why he calls the orange bezel Omega a POS...:p

Harb, you may want to refresh and re-look at the forum home page. ;)

When I posted the only watch forum showing was Rolex-specific. And per its description, the Other Topic forum doesn't necessarily exclude watches. :)

Is POS not an abreviation for Planet Ocean's?

Or have I missed the point again?

Fine watch, wonderfully designed movement, but wrong name on the dial.

IF you didn't like the watch, I guess "POS" would be appropriate from your point of view. :)

Which reminds me... where are the photos from the trip? :-)

I've been under the weather since I got back, Suhail. I'm going to try to get it done this weekend (if I don't have a problem posting pics with this new site). :)
