No love for Omega PO!

[ppierce]

Omega is really missing the boat with the PO and 300m. Make PO thinner and 41mm and change braclet on the 300m and you have 2 absolute winners.

I agree the 42mm is the best proportioned version. New beige 43.5mm looks cool though.
Lots of love for this watch, maybe the owners are just a little more reserved!

I had the 39.5 and I absolutely adored it. It was unbelievably accurate and the finishing was so good.

I didn’t mind the thickness at all and loved the much shorter lug to lug. It was almost perfect. Unfortunately I let it go because I couldn’t get a great fit with the bracelet, I didn’t care for the non tapered look/feel. And, the 19mm lugs made it annoying to compensate for the above issues.

I miss seeing it in my collection terribly but in relation to my Sub it just wasn’t getting a justifiable amount of wrist time to stay… I drool over photos of them all the time though and if it weren’t for those bracelet problems it might have been my favorite piece! I consider a rebuy all the time but then remember what my issues were in the first place.

Anyway, I agree, it does seem under appreciated compared to how nice a watch it is!

Interesting. I may have read the thread. I’m honestly not sure, as I have read so much on these forums, but I feel like I would remember that. What is “OF”? I’d be genuinely interested in reading whatever thread you’re referring to because everything that I can recall reading has pointed to the time zone function being problematic and I can’t recall seeing people having issues with the quickset date.

42mm 2500 PO owner here. Love it. I swapped the bezel for an orange one and added the adjustable clasp. Perfection

You’re correct, there are more issues relating to the 8900 and the jump hand. The 8800 is the more robust movement. That said, they are both great.
