yeah thats what I was thinking when I first saw it! Plus I loved the colours of the Omega so much i got a Pagani Homage/Fake of it (shame on me). When I was a student and didnt had any money. I dont really wear it any more but miss the colours!

For the ones interested. I found a couple good pictures and a Video on Reddit. I think it will be the MOP one!

commented on Are we all on WatchCrunch to flex... to ourselves? The "Inner Flex": Thomas Schelling, game theory, nuclear deterrence, time inconsistent utility functions, and watches ·

I can agree with you on that inner flex part. I was thinking the other day too why I really wanna get a new watch. I think its because I was working since I was 15 and always had to manage my money so I can still afford to eat i the end of the day. There were months I only could eat a slice of bread with one slice of cheese on top of it. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Now that I have a nice job and alsmost done with my studies, I can kinda "flex" to myself that I am able to afford such things for me. 
Problem is I am almost ashmed to mear a good watch when meeting good friends and going in bars. Because to 90% of the people a watch is a symbole of wealth and "flex" and I just do not want to flex oon other people. 
But on the other hand I do not think that the selflex is the only reason, because I am also very into mechanical peaces and I am still facinated about the fact that we can measure the Time so precicley without a battery

I want that sweetspot between a nice unique watch and everyday allrounder and thats what makes it so hard for me honestly. I am more of a extrovert, if it comes to clothing that why I thought it maybe could suit well :) 

commented on 556 Mother of Pearl; Yay or nay? ·

That thing with the same watch also goes around in my head. I would say that my stlye of clothing is not the "usual" if you can say it like that. I like wearing colourfull shirts and stuff like that. Thats why I would think that the MOP would fit. 
Biut Black also is such a beauty ...damn

commented on 556 Mother of Pearl; Yay or nay? ·

Well I hope so, because I think they are making very very nice tool watches. Would love to go for the 104 as well, but I just do not like the flashyness of th polished case...
