The Speedmaster cal 9300 is brilliantly designed, although too big for me. The PO8500, now there is a watch I have been eyeballing for quite some time now. Looks like the ultimate contemporary diver

Not a fan of gold, but it works in that speedy

Did you try on the 8500 version of PO? That looks to be the older model.

Yes I did, just did not take a photo of it.

I like the ceramic, with the orange numbers.

I remember trying two RG Omega chronographs in Switzerland, I believe they were both Deville's but I found them amazing and very heavy (but still very comfortable, you had the feeling that the watch was fully present on your wrist). Was it the feeling you've had with this one?

By the way, it does look amazing on your wrist!

No Really Carl I think I would go with this one; The rubber is much lighter.

Or if I wanted to go all crazy then this one; (Maybe I can get the jeans to go with it )
