Some more PO 8500 Shots

Sorry for the quality and the poor color temp - I was just firing these off in response to a few questions I got.

The mesh bracelet is OEM, like others have mentioned. I shot a couple close-ups of the hallmarks.

The crown and He valve are really nicely done on this version. I prefer them to the ones on my 2500.

My favorite design improvement on this watch versus the older versions is the design of the bezel. The thinner light band closest to the sapphire is much more proportionate than the previous version. I am also partial to the matte, lighter gray of this one as well. Looking back at the older version, it looks (at least to me) to be a cheap version. It almost looks like a knock off. I like the new one much better. Some may agree, some may not.

I also got a couple other items from the boutique, but they are a few days behind me. I bought some other things and decided to ship some unnecessary items home via FedEx. The other swag includes Omega/PGA hats and a very nice white and rose gold parker pen with case. Those will follow as soon as I get them.

Until then, here are a few more shots. Again, I apologize for the poor exposure and color temp. And I am still only using a point and shoot without a polarizer. What a difference my old equipment would make.





















Cheers,

Rob
