There's some funny folk on here.
I read some posts on here and wonder why we are so fussy. One post that gets me is the fact Omega does not use a blue date ring with the blue dial of the PO Titanium instead of its black colour. Have you guys seen Rolex Subs -GMT -Explorers etc. The black, blue and green dials come with WHITE date wheel and yet I've never read one Rolex post complaining about this on their beloved watches. Guys please don't forget the fact the PO is a Fantastic watch and with a black dial we get a black date wheel and looks much better than a white would do, even on the Titanium/ Blue dial.

SMP movement
Hi folks,Omega is doing a great job on equipping a lot of their models with the Co-axial 8500 in-house movement, but why didn't they equip the new 300M Seamaster professional with the cal.8500?They gave the model a new ceremic bezel and black or blue lacquer dial, but they kept the 2500 movement, seems a bit weird to me.

WG Pepsi owners- buy/sell/add another Pepsi? Thoughts on Basel 18?
I've seen a lot of posts around here thinking about what current owners will do. So I'd thought it would be interesting to hear what current owners of the black dial WG Pepsi will do with the BLRO and their thoughts the new Pepsi models. Is anybody thinking of adding one of the new Pepsi models? Any regrets?I'm keeping my BLRO.Here are my thoughts:SS Pepsi- love it, but jubilee bracelet with clasp looks odd to me.WG Pepsi with blue dial- nope, wanted the classic with the black dialTudor Pepsi- 41mm is too big, don't like the font on the bezelI also think that the bezel colors, that were largely panned on this forum will now be loved given that a) it's $20K cheaper and b) the supply will be likely controlled and Rolex has another elusive, hard to find, Daytona-like hit on their hands. I think the WG black dial model value with tank.Movement-wise- don't really care about that- it's not like the old movement was garbage and needed an improvement.In terms of an investment, do I regret b
