Re: The PO does *not* have a display back
In Response To: The PO does *not* have a display back *NM* ()

Right, I saw that in that great article you posted. I believe it said they will have screw-in casebacks to allow for the higher (600M) depth rating. What I was trying to say was that the sapphire caseback on the current Bond GMT model is more costly than a generic steel caseback, so the Planet Oceans (with steel casebacks) may not be priced much higher than the Bond GMT. My "logic" is that both watches have the same movement but the Bond GMT has the GMT feature and a sapphire caseback, which the PO's do not. However, the PO's do have a new bracelet and a higher depth rating that the Bond GMT lacks. Of course, it's all just guesswork until we get real numbers from Omega.
