Back to the Planet Ocean, except this time it's Liquidmetal
For 4 years up until last year I happily wore the previous version Planet Ocean on my wrist. It was a great watch, a design I admired, a watch I assumed would be my grail when it first came out in 2005. To me it had everything, seamaster history, a great design, quality finish and was comfortable to wear. In tribute here it isThen for some reason Rolex consumed the WIS in me and I went on to own and flip every version of the Submariner- ND, SD, date and the Sub C. After buying the Explorer 2 (which I confess to being my favourite watch) the Sub C just wasn't getting any wrist time. The Sub C is far too nice a watch not to be worn and there was no way I could afford to have an object of such value sit in a box, so I decided to flip it.

The DJII is a great all-around watch. It's suitable for almost any occasion, wearing well with anything from jeans to a suit. It will always be one of my favorite pieces in my collection, being my very first acquisition (not to mention that beautiful blue sunburst dial).

16610 LV Question
Evening All,I'm debating getting one of these watches in 2018, and while doing some research into the watch, found photos of two different shades of the green bezel insert from the same article on bobswatches. Are there different production models of the watch which reflect different shades of the green bezel insert? Here's what I mean. The first picture, showing a lighter shade:Here's a second from the same article, showing a darker insertIs this just a lighting issue? These inserts look very different to me. Any thoughts?Best,TASent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
