Another one off the wall of dreams...

Got the call from my guy over at Omega...

They just got in the new Omega Ultra Deep. And I, of course, voted with my non-Rolex spending dollars to add this amazing watch to the collection.

I had briefly thought about the Deep Sea, but c'mon it's less than 4,000M...the Ultra Deep is 6,000M and much sexier besides.

So another watch down from the wall of dreams...

Which one will be next...

BTW - after 530 votes from this community...Omega pretty substantively beats Rolex!

Check out the discussion here...

Beautiful - congrats indeed! Would love a review on it, at minimum how does it wear on the bracelet? Congrats again 🤩

·

Dude! Congrats- So awesome 👏😃😍

I love ridiculous and gorgeous, and this watch has that in spades, while being of the highest quality

MOAR PICS of this sexy centrefold. And side profile - I know it’s a beast but let’s see that beastly glory.

And yes, 100% glad you went this way over a deadsea. Only 4K meters… and way too boring.

BTW That bezel on it is fancier the reg ceramic, can you tell in person?

·

Congratulation! The dial looks stunning and seems to fit you perfectly. I have no hope that it will fit my drumstick wrist.

·

Very nice I love blue dials like that!

·

Very nice watch , recently tried them on and was very impressed on how they sit on the wrist, they seem to wear smaller than you think and the same thickness as the deep sea ,it's definitely on my buy list

You have the wrist for it and it is a looker. Mazel tov.

really attractive and bold, congratulations! I love the blue-to-black dial!

·

Congratulations! Very cool watch. You’ve a much larger wrist than me 😅

Yeah. Over and over I'm seeing proof that, for me, at least, Rolex isn't worth it.

That is very handsome. People would be wondering why I'm keeping such close tabs on the time, because I couldn't stop staring at it.

Thanks - I will try and get a review up once I have a chance to take some additional photos.

In the meantime, it wears fantastically on the bracelet. The new O-MEGASTEEL blows away traditional 316L stainless steel. It has a vibrancy and shine to it that is really stunning. The fit of the bracelet is perfect. With such a massive case, you would think it would move around on your wrist...not the case (pun intended). It sits proud on my wrist and stays in place very comfortably.

I was worried it would be a monster on my wrist. It's not. It actually wears a little better than my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms which is about the same diameter.

More to come...

Yes - the bezel is gorgeous.

My low point of the night...I had the watch on my wrist and I am admiring it...my wife looks over and says, "That looks like a Rolex" 🙄

You can work on making it fit...

It looks quite good, but the thought of being 6000 metres underwater gives me the heebies. Congratulations on your purchase though.

Very nice I love blue dials like that!

Thanks - it's even better in person. Somewhat like a fume blue.

Oh snap!!!! Mega troll by wifey!

😉Yup... I know, she'd need to be more into watches to troll you with such elegance. My wife would say the same and mean it with kindness.

You being you, you are probably the guy to ask:

O steel vs Ever Brilliant steel vs Rolex 904 ... who wins?

Me being me, I've only seen the ever brilliant 🤩 variety (it was stunning and noticeably whiter) but you're the collector to let us all know who holds the steel crown!!

Maybe a separate post about Battle of the Steels! 😀

not great pix, but you get the idea for ever brilliant:

I have to say...of all the steels...the one that wins wasn't mentioned.

It's the Lucent Steel from Chopard...this is the most amazing steel I've ever seen.

These photos cannot do it justice...the shimmer of the steel is jewel-like.

Anyone else out there with an Alpine Eagle should jump in and say your piece.
