I have a 42mm PO 8500 and have very strong feelings about it.
First....it is way too thick. It does not have any satisfactory adjustment for the band and angers me almost every day.
It is stunning to look at and the movement is awesome. But I cannot make it fit properly and comfortably.
Taking it on and off constantly and/or not wearing it because of this is maddening. In fact I have barely worn it over the year I've owned it because of this.

So what do I do? The Rolex Sub C or Datejust ii fit beautifully. However, the PO has essentially become a joke in terms of resale. It appears the only realistic option without opening the wallet and take a huge loss is to buy a 20 year old Explorer II.

Omega is so close to catching Rolex in terms of movements and design....but without comfor what do you have?

Just my 2 cents.
Put a camille fournet strap or one from someone else and enjoy your watch that isn't as good as a rolex...
