jeffw69 0 Posted July 15, 2012 This appears to be the rep of the limited edition Liquid Metal, which was released with only 1,948 pieces only. Notice the ZrO2 on the dial and closed caseback. Very nice, wondering how the 42mm would be for me. I am so used to 45mm PO now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffw69 0 Posted July 15, 2012 I e-mailed Hont, hopefully will have a price soon. Funny, I just saw a near mint gen of this for sale last week & was very tempted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g.man 0 Posted July 15, 2012 HE valve in the wrong position. Horrible pearl. Pearl triangle is also wrong shape. *sigh* It's quite nice, but as Jeff noted, this is not the new PO liquid metal. It's a rep of the original PO liquid metal limited edition from a couple of years ago which was basically an old style PO with a new bezel and dial being the most obvious changes. The ltd edition also featured the same movement as the old PO's (hence the metal case back) and consequently had a thinner profile than the new liquid metal PO's featuring the new 8500 movement. At least things seem to be moving forward with rep PO's, but really, so near but so far. As Obi Wan would say... these are not the droids you're looking for g.man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted July 15, 2012 That pearl is horrible- looks like a specimen from a person with Tuberculosis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powderfreak 0 Posted July 15, 2012 That pearl is horrible- looks like a specimen from a person with Tuberculosis. Jup, that's what I thought - wonder if it's only on that exact watch or on the whole batch.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diego_UK 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Oh man, this thing is gorgeous. Unfortunately, like G pointed out, it's not the new LM PO. Still, I hope this paves the way for more ceramic bezeled Omega reps in the future. Like... *Ahem* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
