Considering a change

Currently have a 42 mm Planet Ocean 2201.50, 2500 caliber, which I really like. Accurate, looks great.

Am very attracted to the Breitling Colt, 44mm, blue dial, blue rubber/composite strap. I'm torn, as I really like my Omega...other than just itching for a change, any good reason to flip out the Planet Ocean and pick up the Colt?
And having both isn't an option. Thanks for your opinions.

I like the Colt but that PO is a classic and may have more long term appeal.

Thanks for your comment, I've heard similar remarks from others. I'll keep the PO, in my heart I felt I should, just might switch to a sporty strap.

Absolutely it will.

Good choice to keep the PO. I have two Breitling Colts (a A17035 and a A17350) and I think you get great bang for your buck for a Colt. But you do have to remember that the Colt is considered Breitling's entry level model. While the Colt is a very nice solid watch I think the PO is a notch above the Colt.
Good luck with finding a new strap for your PO. A strap can definitely change up the look of a watch.
