Sometimes the string of events that leads to a purchase is amusing, interesting and comical. A good friend alerted me to the opening of an Omega pop up store nearby. He added that there would be someone from Omega

there that I know so I went mainly to see him but obviously to also see the new blue Seamaster offerings. I like many brands and various types of watches but if I we're going to describe my collection Omega, "diver" or "blue"

would be common denominators. All I know for sure is I thought I was safe, especially with so many blue divers but walked in wearing a nice 50 Fathoms and walked out wearing a sweet blue 39mm PO. Also I'd like to add that the

the experience and everyone involved was superb.

Actually the last pic was the Ultra Deep I was also looking at. Wonderful but too big for me. However the PO I bought also has a fantastic dial with a different but very nice texture.

the dial texture size comparison (substantial).
