New PO 45.5

Having just sold my Breitling Navi World (I could not tell the time the dial was so busy) I picked up my new PO today here in Santa Monica from my AD. Should have gotten this watch before the Breitling, better late then never however.

Do I see it correct, that we already have two members with the new PO's on this board and non hasn't been able to make a few pictures for the waiting fellow board members?

Don't let us down ;)

BTW on my PO 45.5 the seamaster on the dial is plain and some I've seen are orange to match the second hand, why?

Ok, so you purchased the "old" PO. Congrats. What color combo. White/black, black/orange, or orange/orange? The new one retails for 6k.

Thanks Gharddod, that about covers it! Had I know this was a 'old' model I'd have pushed for a bigger discount :)

That's the best summary of differences I've ever seen. Kudos!
