I've started editing my photo files which ran to over nine thousand images, many of which were duplicates. Why not share them all on our forum?

Let's start with these Seamasters photographed at the LA Omega boutique in 2016.

The black ceramic GMT with carbon fiber strap evinced a menacing wrist presence. If travel was in my plans, this would be the one to wear.

Key Points from the Discussion

The black ceramic GMT with a carbon fiber strap from the 2016 collection is highlighted for its menacing wrist presence and suitability as a travel watch.
An encrusted Planet Ocean, limited to 88 pieces and available in 2016, is humorously suggested as a perfect match for a Denver Broncos fan, showcasing a unique and bold design.
A specific Seamaster model with bold design elements, subdued coloring, and matte finishing was personally compelling to the author, demonstrating the appeal of nuanced aesthetics.
The black ceramic GMT on a carbon fiber strap is particularly favored by one contributor for its aesthetic appeal.
The 45.5mm black Planet Ocean 600m on a strap is considered the 'ultimate expression' of the reference to date, praised for its bold and assertive design.
The combination of GMT and 600-meter water resistance in the Seamaster Planet Ocean is noted as a highly desirable feature, with specific mention of the 43.5mm blue dial with orange details and the 45mm blue ceramic model.

If Omega decided to make thin a 42mm ceramic PO I'd jump on it

The line only lacks the finesse of a slimmer profile and a smaller case.

I suppose the titanium Ploprof . . .

. . . is totally out of the question, then. [all images taken at the LA Omega boutique, 2016]

If you were inclined to bling . . .

. . . there was an encrusted PO available in a limited edition of 88 back in 2016. Could be the perfect watch for a well-heeled Denver Broncos fan.

That is some serious bling!

With a cool touch of the iced mascot on the back. Is that under or on top of the sapphire case-back??
