I have been looking at this watch from afar for some years.
I believe that the black dial with orange markings is very attractive.
I had 4 or so of the 2500 PO's in both 45.5mm & 42mm case size. I wish I kept the black, 42mm bond version. I am now looking into another PO.
I truly don't like display backs on tool watches and though this does provide a view to a wonderful movement, not sure whether it will drive me nuts.
I like medium sized watch for my skinny wrists and the days of 42mm+ watches are over for me. My largest watch is the Pelagos. I find it to be the limit for size. have some queries I hope you could give me your views on
- Is 14mm too thick for its diameter, does it wear larger/bulkier than say a Pelagos or say a 16600 Seadweller?
- Does the bracelet taper from 19mm at the lugs and do you consider bit to be too thick for its width?
- What is your experience of the 8800 vs previous 8500 movement?
Any current/previous owners here care to share their thoughts on this watch?
