Planet Ocean Ordered

For everyone who was following my LONG thread about trying to decide which watch would be my next Omega, I settled on the 42mm Planet Ocean with black dial and black bezel on a bracelet. I ordered it from my authorized dealer late yesterday, and luckily enough he had the exact model I wanted in stock. I should get it in a few days.

In the end it came down to the Planet Ocean vs. the Bond GMT co-axial, but since I already own the Bond SMP, these two watches just looked too similar to justify spending another $2000+ on the GMT version. So, I decided to get something new and different with the Planet Ocean. I can always buy the Bond GMT model later. One can never have "too many" Omegas.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who provided their input and opinions. I'm sure I'll be happy with my Planet Ocean. Now, if only I could stop staring out at the street looking for the UPS truck to drive by!!!!
