After wearing my titanium Omega for a while, I decided to sell my Breitling Super Avenger II.
Great timepiece but it's like walking around with an anvil strapped to your wrist.
Went to my jeweler to check out a few Omega "Dark Side Of The Moon" models.
Having a tough time deciding.

Ok this is getting fun.
I own the Blue Ti POC as well as the GSOTM and the DSOTM Pitch Black.
All great watches I am a big Omega fan.

Thank you!
And that is quite a beautiful collection of Omega timepieces you have there!
If I may ask, out of those three, which gets the most wrist time?

Of those three I would say the grey side of the moon gets the most wrist time. But the pitch black is a close second.
Even in titanium the POC is super thick so it only gets weekend time.
I think the pitch black is the dark side to get. It looks great on all kinds of straps.

That's the only thing i don't like about the POC, the super thick case.
On the new POC Caliber 9900, they got the case down to 18.87 mm thick.
Definitely worth checking out.

The new stainless POC is thinner? I hadn't noticed that detail. I really like the Ti POC in grey and orange. Very sharp! If indeed thinner I may revisit.
I have the blue Moonphase on order and can't wait to see it in person.

Stunning piece.
The Liquidmetal on the tachymeter scale should really make the bezel pop.
Looking forward to seeing pics when you get it.
Is it supposed to be available this October or sooner?

Agree almost bought the Ti blue Speemaster 9300 but the bezel didn't look great to me. The ceramic/liquid metal should look killer and the new METAS 9904 movement is a nice treat. I have four 9300 based pieces.
I'm told October. I'll be sure to post a pic.

Went to pick up my girlfriend's repaired necklace at my jeweler this afternoon and ended up walking out with this Liquidmetal Planet Ocean on my wrist.
My first Omega and first titanium watch as well. I can barely even feel it on my wrist it's so light. I love it.
This is an absolutely georgous watch my friend. When I bought my Certina DS diver pictured above I almost went for the titanium model, but the Hamilton I have, also pictured above, is all titanium and it scratches so easily. I really have to be careful and being a big watch it's very easy to bump it on things. I just don't wear it as much anymore so it stays looking good. Congrats on the purchase though. Absolutely awesome.

How are you liking that Certina? The Ti model has held my eye for a little while, but the pictures show one finish type and the video reviews show another.

I did a ton of research before buying the Certina. There are so many divers out there that my head was spinning but I knew I wanted that style and I wanted good bang for the buck, which in the end it came down between the DS Action Diver and the Longines Hydroconquest. I ended up with the Certina and I couldn't be happier. The fit and finish is outstanding and it's just hard to express how nice the watch really is thru pictures, you really have to get one in your hand to appreciate how nice they are. As for the titanium version I was so close to getting that model because I loved the anthracite dial and bezel, but I have a titanium watch now that is just a pain in the ass to keep from scratching so I went the stainless steel route. Either way you will be happy with the quality of Certina Watches. They are sort of a hidden gem of the Swiss watch world.

Thank you for the compliment! I also don't plan on wearing it that much because of the titanium. Too easy to scratch or put a gouge in it.
Such an unfortunate drawback of titanium watches.
Really like that Hamilton of the yours by the way.
Nice looking timepiece.
