Last year after selling my 114060 I purchased a PO 8500 42mm. Great watch but could not get a great fit. Purchased the adjustable clasp and installed. Got a great fit but could not deal with the weight and hight. Sold the PO and purchased a 116610LN. Wore that for a year but always found it a bit boring, found myself looking at the Omega again. While in the Bahamas I visited the Omega AD. They had the PO 8800 39.5 in stock. I was amazed how much better it felt on the wrist. Got back to the states and purchased it from DavidSW. I could not be happier. The 39.5mm is in my opinion the perfect size.

The 8500 was just too large.

Beautiful. I love the 39.5mm.

Very nice! Good for you.

Very nice. I think it’s great that they produce this watch in the different sizes. Looks great.

Lovely watch. You've really said something that I've been worried about for some time now with the submariner. Whilst I love the look on photos I'm unsure if it's the idea of the watch that's captivating more than the watch itself. I have an old Aquaracer which really does look very similar to the Submariner (the reason I bought it) but I'm wondering now how much benefit I would actually get by changing a cheaper watch to a much more expensive version which looks very similar. That's why the blue PO 8800 is starting to appeal more. It's really very different to both and also wouldn't concern me wearing in the office (where as the rolex certainly would make me self conscious).

Anyways congrats. These can be had for incredible value.
