I'm in love with my latest purchase. I had originally wanted a Rolex Seadweller. Truth be told it was a bit of a stretch at the moment and after trying on a few they left me feeling a bit cold.

I stumbled across this beauty and can't believe how good it is in the flesh. The crystal is almost impossible to see, such is the quality of the AR and the overall build quality has blown me away. I have a Speedmaster Moonwatch already and this feels significantly more well engineered. Ok it's not got the cult classic reputation the speedy enjoys and is a completely different style of watch but I'm very very happy with this purchase.

The display back particularly attracted me to the watch and I believe the movement is held I particular high regard (8500) co axial.

Without rambling on too much, here are some pictures. It's a 42mm.

The PO is a fantastic piece, with a very distinct personality! My only wish is that they made it a little thinner. Congrats and enjoy that awesome watch!

Thanks guys. This watch thing really is an addiction. I'm already mentally lining up what could be my next watch.

Awesome looking watch!

Enjoy!

Agreed its awesome. My dad has the 45mm version and it feels like quality. My personal preference would be to pull it off the steel band and put it on rubber.

Nice!

Mine says hi as well, great choice:

The SDc is my next watch though, I feel the lug design and the way it wears is better than my PO 8500.
