Omega Olympic Edition
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? Nairn

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. |

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...

Not too big on that one
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.

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