I didn't mean to state the watch is not worth >2000$, just wondering the reason for such a different pricing by Omega for lim.editions,
consider that the titanium l.e. has got also gold bezel and is produced in <10k pieces (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
I myself like the watch very much (except, maybe, for that logo on the face :), 'cos it would be my everyday watch for years), with its Rolex Yachtmaster-style engraved bezel and "new" markers (when is Omega going to put them in a regular SMP SS ??).

But I collect America's Cup

Uhm, then I think you HAVE to get this watch :))))

Oh Well. BTW: Prada (Italy)
: and America One (USA) in the Louis Vuitton
: Cup Finals. GO AMERICA ONE!!

Of course I can't agree about this! I'm gonna try to watch the races, even though when they start it's night here: tonight 1st match :)
