This seems to be another strong year for Omega. I have two questions if you don't mind.
1) Is the wooden box of the PO GMT GoodPlanet actually bamboo? Local boutique staffs said they would bring me the bamboo box. I thought they were making a joke or something, and that the box was made of some other kind of wood. So when you specifically said "bamboo", I am inclined to believe they were not kidding. The bamboo bit is not mentioned in the product presentation on Omega's web site. Would I be correct to assume that it was mentioned verbally by Omega at Baselworld?
2) Similarly, the involvement of Rado in the development of the Dark Side ceramic case was not identified in the press release. Was this involvement mentioned to the journalists at Baselworld? I really like how Omega is so honest and open about third party assistance, for example, the joint press conference they held for the anti-magnetic Aqua Terra where all parties involved were present and recognized.
In any case, I must thank you for taking the time to put together such a comprehensive report. It is a joy to read.

Thanks Marcus...

I like the Ladymatic a lot with the new 'chive cuts' bracelet, but what I really would like to see is a picture of the Seamaster AquaTerra 15,000 Gauss' display back. Do you happen to have one? I think this is a most significant watch! Thanks, Magnus
