Needed a beater...
Hi guys..
Well, as some may know. I got my self a black 16613, 14 days ago. It's really a killer watch. but! After a few days i realized that i needed a beater watch. I just did'nt want to put my sub with gold polished links, thru the dayli stress. And it also felt odd wearing it with crappy clothes. After some searching, the choice was clear. Omega PO 42mm. Omega has a great history, quality, the caliber 2500....so i went for it. Another reason for choosing the PO over, say a 14060 sub, is that i wanted to "upgrade" my weekends, and slipping on my 16613. Any way, here it is, alone and side by side with my 16613.

Nice "beater".
 My beaters tend to be a bit less expensive but what ever works. dP

Nice choice(s). After I bought my first Rolex, a TT yachtmaster, I decided I needed a beater also, and my seiko just didn't cut it, so I got a TT DateJust. Then I thought, oh crap! That's too nice for a beater, so I got a SS DateJust. Yup, you guessed it, once again I thought, oh crap! So now I'm looking to get a GMT-IIc for a beater. Yeah yeah, I know, I know....

A perfect "beater" would be a SS submariner. But your choice is ok. Hei fra Norge

Same here......sold off two other SMP before realizing that Omega is not Rolex, but still a really great beater. So, I had to get a third.....hopefully I can keep this one around longer.

Great choice.
I really like the orange bezel 42mm PO, fully intended to get one until I got sidetracked by a used Rolex. Paul |

I concur with JJ. I would have got a SS Rolex. Omega just doesn't have the cachet Rolex does.

Good looking pair of wathces, I would have used the Rollie as my daily wearer, but can understand the need for a change at the weekend.

I saw the thread title and was going to suggest a cheapie Seiko skx007j or similar. Oops. Still what a very nice "second" watch to have.
I prefer the black and gold 16613 to Bluesy and it's nice to see one in such good photos. I also noticed from your photos is that there does not appear to be that much difference between the 40mm Rolex and the 42mm PO. They seem the same size. Thanks for sharing.
