Anyone have some new Omega PO 8500 and 2500 comparison shots of the case, etc?

Had a 45.5 mm PO and loves the thickness of the case. Fit very well on my 7 inch wrists.

I am looking to buy a 42mm 8500 PO quite soon, but I never actually held the watch in person or have even seen it in person.

The closest dealer to me is about 2 and a half hours from me and I just have not had the time to reach out to them yet. (Omega Boutique).

Now I am hearing that the new 8500 has a thicker case profile, which I can spot immediately in pictures. But how much thicker? Any comparison shots would be outstandingly appreciated!

I am working on it

I am trying to meet up with the guy that bought my 2500 PO from me.

Once I get him in a room, I will take some shots of the cases next to each other.

i have just seen it yesterday. it made my heart skip a beat so i think i found my next watch.

think of it this way. if youre a panerai guy, you will be right at home with this watch.

i think its just about as thick as the historical manual wind models and just as heavy.
