MSRP is $6,100. You should be able to find one new from an AD for around $4,600 or so, maybe $4,200 if you really work at it.

Wrong size, also not a chrono.

Thanks, and definitely want the 45.5mm version.
It's $5,500 on that site for a chrono.

That's only 10% off of MSRP. You can do better than that price, a lot better IMO, even at an AD, although you'll have to work to get them to go above 15-20% off, depending on the dealer. Your upper limit at an AD should be a discount in the 25% range. You can probably find 30% if you try really hard, maybe even a little more, but you'll probably have to bring kneepads to get it.

Thanks for the link and the info on how much to try to get off.
I've never seen a forum where most posts are WTB and not "For sale"
Do you like that board vs. TimeZone? I don't go on watch forums much since I'm always temped to buy something, but I've liked this watch for a couple years now. Thanks again.

Got it. Personally don't like the look of the chrono, too busy. Also unless you have Arnold arms, the large size looks way to big.

For buying new I prefer watchuseek to timezone. There's a lot of ADs on watchuseek, and the Omega forums are particularly good. Overall I think I prefer timezone though.

IMO you can get away with it if you have small wrists, as long as they're flat and the lugs don't hang over the edge of your wrist. IIRC, I think the watch is 51mm from lug to lug, but I could be wrong.

They do as linked by others, but from following a couple watch forums the past few years, this is the one Omega movement I might avoid for a bit. They've had some problems with this I think.

I'm certainly not knocking Omega in general - have a new-ish Planet Ocean (non chrono) myself!

Technically, the bezel is orange. If the face was it really would look like a pumpkin in 45mm!!!

I have the 45.5 chrono in black with rubber strap/white stitching. I ordered mine from Topper about 2 yrs ago. Paid around $4500. Has been flawless.

Thanks for the heads up. What kind of problems have they had?
