SubC v PO 45.5mm comparison shots ???

I've been offered a PO Sochi LE at a good price. I'm used to wearing my 116610LN, but at such a difference in size I don't know whether it's gonna look too big.
Anyone got any comparison shots ?

I dont have a shot to provide, but i have owned the cal 2500 45.5 po in the past, and i found the size to be quite bulky. It Looked awesome though! I have a 114060, and its much, much more wearable. Sleeker and more comfortable. If your 116610 feels small to you, then maybe the big PO will be to your liking. However, if your sub is just right to you, i think you may find the big PO to be a bit much.

The PO 45.5mm 8500 is a substantially larger watch in every way than a Rolex sub.

It's thicker, heavier and obviously dimensionally larger..

I love it for the size....but clearly not for everyone..

It doesn't appear that much bigger than the 116610

45.5

It's a bad angle.

I'll take another pic

In hindsight, I guess it's not WAY larger than the Sub-C, but it is bigger and does sit higher on the wrist, especially on the bracelet...

I'd go for it..It's a killer watch...

On bracelet or strap? Also what size is your wrist?
