Any photos of Planet Ocean 43.5mm

[Dubshack]

I'm wondering if anyone has the Planet Ocean 43.5mm photos for reference? Specifically the SS versions in either blue, black, or the black/orange, all on bracelet.

For those that do, how does it wear on the wrist? I wear my watches loose and wondering how top-heavy it is and whether it needs to be snug. TIA.

Here's a few pics of my 43.5mm black PO. I would say it is a little top heavy but not excessively so. I have a Deepsea which is far more top heavy but it does need to have the bracelet a bit tighter to keep it in place. I sold mine 18 months ago as a part-ex and it's one of two watches I regret having sold over the years. I'd definitely try it on as well as a Seamaster to see whether it suits you but for me it's a watch I'll get back into my collection at some point.....

Thanks for the pictures and reply. I've tried on the Seamasters and I'm not a huge fan of the waves. I prefer the previous version.

Fairly large in all honesty. But great for casual wear. I had to source an omega rubber strap which is what I wear it on most of the time. Note, the strap is not correct for this reference but the AD had this one available and I thought it felt comfortable and looked nice.

Love the 43.5 PO

My wrist is about 6.5 inches. Another pic to provide some idea of how it looks...I apologize for the scratches on the crystal....I wear this watch for most of my outdoor activities.

Thanks. My wrists are 7.5-7.75 range.

It should fit quite nicely for your wrist size. Regarding the bracelet, it is fairly heavy. The case is quite thick which can take some time getting used to. I wore it on the bracelet for the first few months and then went to a strap and have not really looked back. However, the bracelet is comfortable and also has a slide adjustment and extension link to help with fit.

That one is cool. Wish it had a black dial.

Reminds me of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers creamsicle uniforms.

Looks fantastic! How much was the strap from your AD?

One of my favourite pieces of all time.

Unfortunately pricey. About $250 for the clasp and $250 for the strap. I was willing to pay it as I was able to get a great discount off MSRP from a trusted seller.

I'm in the same boat. I was able to score a deal on a black dial at 27% off MSRP. I'm willing to pay for it if it's comfortable.

Good looking Watch.
Thinking buying a PO Liquid Metal

Hi Matt,
I have a 7" wrist and find the 43.5 PO way more confortable to wear than I previously thought before getting it. Actually it wears like 42 mm, also the bracelet is really confortable due to the micro adjustment of the clasp AND because the links are a tad smaller than the oyster links, so it adjusts better to the natural curvature of the arm. The lume is a true torch. The 43.5 has the caliber 8900, which has two barrels and all the latest tech inside.

The weight is there, I feel the watch when I wear it (opposed to my 5 digit GMT, which does not feel on the wrist), but the weight is so well distributed, that is still pleasant to wear.

Last year I was so crazy about a Sub C date, that I was about to pull the trigger at the AD, but after a BIG homework comparing both Sub and PO, I went for the PO and never looked back.

Now I have it, have tested and enjoyed the hell out of it and can highly recommend it to anyone.

I own a classic 45. It's large but it wears really flat and comfortable on the wrist.

Thanks for the write up. Looks great.
