Omega PO 8500 Steel vs Titanium

[GMTmaster]

David, I think SS is equally attractive. For the amount of money saved, SS is a fantastic watch. I shall congratulate you for having one too. 

P.S. Sometimes, when I looked at my watch, I have a funny feeling that its size and weight doesn't tally.

Congrats, GMTmaster, wear your PO in good health for many years to come!!!

I am sure many of us here will look forward to seeing more pictures of this great watch from you. Don't disappoint us....

Endiku, you said "great watch", "no regrets". These words kind of set up my fire in owning this piece. 

There is a proverb in Chinese, "sickness is from food entering the mouth, misfortune is from words coming out of the mouth"... Mind your words.     

Whatever, I am happier.

Happy to see the amount of "which watch to get" threads have happy endings.
Wear the piece in good health.
It's an excellent piece.

Another happy ending. Congratulation.

Great watch, good choice and wear it in good health.

Congratulations!  The blue dial and bezel are really nice.

Well, the color schemes on your SS PO had given me a tough time choosing between SS and Ti. 


hanz079, bezelnut, thank you for your well wishes. 

All this Liquidmetal talk have got me wondering, does the aesthetic appearance differ much between Liquidmetal and Ceramic bezel?

Liquidmetal or not, only applies to the markings on the bezels., it is hard to tell (maybe impossible to tell), by looking at the markings alone.

But the ceramic bezel definitely looks different aesthetically (besides its colors). The non liquidmetal i.e. grey bezel, is more matte compared to the liquidmetal i.e. blue bezel, which is shinier.

Sorry for the poor quality images, not much of a photographer.

wow.. nice collection pal... How many Omega you have??? 7? 

You must like the design very much. What is the diameter of the Liquidmetal LE? Although it is black, I find the bezel a bit glossy compared to the SS grey bezel. Is it titanium too?

Lol, just two PO and one Seamaster 300M. I love design very much, still wanting the PO Ti in blue strap. The diameter is 42mm on both, haven't got big wrists. Its stainless steel, which I think I might prefer over the titanium. I feel like I have to be more careful in what I do with the titanium version, because of its coating.
