Looks good to me. The bezel insert and pearl look good and it's the latest model with the modified A7750. It's the same newer model that every dealer can get. The only thing I can think of is to make sure from the dealer the chrono resets properly to zero since it's running in all the pictures.

The 7750 movement is modified to have the subdials closer together, right?

How is this affecting the reliability of the movement?

No negative reports yet that I've heard...

Nope. Me neither and I was expecting to hear it was troublesome.

 

And, all though that is a 44mm case, it seemed much smaller than the UPO when I had one of each last year.

Much smaller ? What do you mean ? It is not 44 mm?

 

Is it noticeable?

I meant that to me it wore more like the 42mm Planet Ocean than the 45.5mm UPO. That's all.

Anyone know what top left crown is for? Is it a HE valve release on gen (kind of like the gen DSSD), but just for looks on the rep?

Correct, it's an HE valve. Omega's valve are manual, where Rolex's are automatic. It's fully functional.

It unscrews, just like a crown. Only difference is it only unscrews enough to let the pressure out.

Anyone seen this model with an orange bezel and this same blue dial? I am looking for this dial/bezel combination, but doesn't have to be the chrono version, can be just PO. Let me know . Thanks!

I believe what you are seeing is the blue tint from the AR on a black dial.

Wow, you're right. I should have read the description better. Clearly states black dial...lol.

 

Do you know if it comes in a blue dial, preferably the orange bezel/blue dial combo?

Don't believe so. I've never seen a blue dial PO.
