Omega Olympic Edition

[Nairn1980]

Guys,

As you all know, I am Rolex MAD!
However I have just spotted this which is due out soon and I think it looks really really nice.

No idea yet what price it will be...other Seamasters are £1-2k, so might not be very expensive....

Any opinions?

Not so sure; to me, the red/white combo on this watch looks kinda cheap.
(No offense to any Canadians! :)

Plus, I really don't like the Olympic logo on the second hand in the same way that I hate the 007 logo on the so-called "Bond" watch (pah!)

I'm sure it'll be relatively accessible price-wise, but it's just not my cuppa.

I thought it looked quite modern and different, and I liked the red and white haha!

I hear theyre 2 grand...but tax free at airport £1880...so not that expensive..

I quite like it....OH NO...ANOTHER WATCH I LIKE :(

....OH NO...ANOTHER WATCH I LIKE :(

It's an illness, and hanging around with other addicts and meeting dealers isn't the best way of kicking the habit.

Yes you are totally correct....Since the TURF dinner I have found that I really like the Milgauss and like the LV too....

Thats all I need......

It happens...!

Anyway, back to this watch, made in a typically Omega-defined "limited" series of 2010 - Canada had a fantastic Games, topping the gold medals table, and winning the Mens ice-hockey in overtime was thrilling - so if I was Canadian, I'd be out there buying one of these right now!

Possibly...;)

Yeah... dont know about this one.

Might look better in real life, but the photo doesnt do much for me

but this one I like--totally different price category and look, but I've always liked the PO chrono, and the Olympic rings at the end of the second hand are a little more subtle here.

Agree....I like Omega, but to me this is just another way of selling the same Seamaster using a different color bezel and visual reference to the games. I also think my problem is that I liken the red bezel to much less expensive watches on the market.

Now, a red AND blue bezel atop a 1675, well that's a different story.....:D

I like it! thinking it would be about £1500 however at £2380 its hardly top of my list now...too close to Rolex prices.
