In Response To: Re: Plant Ocean modification ()

Hey, Drew, I thought I'd try and change your mind regarding the bezel inlay on the new Planet Ocean. I too have a girly 6-and-a-half inch wrist and the Planet Ocean looks great. I know you may hate the bezel inlay, but I have to say that it truly suits the watch. It's reminiscient of the Seamaster 300s from circa 1964. What I love about the PO is that Omega have taken numerous design elements from the '64 model, the other SM 300s from the late '60s and mixed in a little of the current black-dialled Seamaster Professional to create a wonderful watch. Throughout the day, I look at my watch to see what time it is and I get mesmerised by the quality and aesthetics of this watch.
Take another look at it, Drew. If you still hate it that much, then I'll get off your case. Check out my half-assed photo of my watch. The bezel ring ain't that bad. Who knows, it just might grow on you.

Cheers,

Teeritz
