How is the thickness of the 39.5mm on a small wrist? I keep reading the PO line has a thickness problem?

Thanks for the extra pics. What camera are you using?! Everything looks so sharp.
I owned the 39.5 for about six months. I always felt like the proportions were not right, I love omega and I love the Po but the dial was a little to small compared to the thickness. I have pretty small wrist and don’t like large watches. I just bought a speedy and after wearing it, it really confirmed it wasn’t for me and I traded it for a sub. Defiantly recommend going to try it on, don’t just go by the stats. Quality was amazing though, dial and bezel were beautifully built and their new master movements are really impressive, hope this helps

I was looking for a casual weekend watch to wear to the games & my sons ball practices and since I’m a Cincinnati Bengals fan this one immediately spoke to me. I was torn between the strap version or the bracelet, but the strap was more comfortable to me & It fitted my purpose for the watch better. I have a 6 3/4” wrist and this watch just feels great to me, the dial & bezel is just awesome & it’s keeping excellent time. Needless to say I’m very happy with my purchase!
Post some pictures of yours when you get it!

I even wore this watch to Church on Sunday with my suit & I think it dressed up okay:)

Love these two pics I'm jonesing for one of these, big time. I really liked the Deep Black until I tried one on and found it didn't suit me. No such worries with this one though. I'm just waiting for an excuse now to pick up another piece.

Aesthetics are subjective but in real world terms, I think not. Buy one of each and then try selling them in a couple of years and see what they return. TRF Trusted Sellers are knocking most Omegas out, including these POs, at around 30% south of retail; try getting anything off a Sub.

Probably my favorite style Omega

My first PO was a 42mm with 2500 movement. Next was the purchase of the 45 PO Chronograph with 9300. Followed by the GoodPlanet GMT. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a 42mm 8500 with orange bezel. The PO is great on its bracelet or OEM rubber strap with deployant. All have run flawlessly.

Trying to upload photos of each but keep getting an error message advising I need to resize the photos.

I bought my PO 45.5mm brand new only last year from an AD. At first I really love it but after awhile the weight of the watch is too much for me. Now, I will probably trade it for a Rolex Datejust or something in that used price range. I know that I will take a big loss on this watch but I have to trade it in for something that I can wear.

The PO GoodPlanet GMT was/is my first watch and I love it. I switch back and forth between the bracelet and a nato strap for it.

Stunning watch. Can I ask if that last photo is model # 215.30.40.20.03.001

I can't quote your image as I have less than 10 posts

Both new versions in blue and black have glossy dials and bezels. The matte versions are the previous 8500 generation.
