36mm is fine, but not for a diver with a wide bezel.

Is 36mm the midsize? I like it; one of the few smaller divers that I think have a good look.

It used to be. I think Omega is calling the new smaller (~39mm) PO a girls watch though.

Mikey that's a tiny horrible looking quartz watch! Don't do it! If you do I have to come to KL and take it away from you (and give it to my wife). I mean it..

I tried it in at an AD years ago, personally found it to be too small. I know size is personal preference, but there is no way I could have been comfortable wearing it.

I actually wore one for a couple years, late 1998 to late 2000. In retrospect, it was super tiny on my 8" wrist but I didn't know the difference. Mine was auto/pre-Bond.

Go for the 41mm version. The dial and hands are great.

Its so, not you! How much wrist time is that going to get with all those Rolex, Blancpains & APs you have? Dont waste your money on a watch that you will hardly ever wear. You are doing it due to lack of anything new. Sell one of the others you have and get something that will actually get wrist time.

LOVELY watch and way up on my current list too. BUT.................................

1. Quartz = NO, not for that beauty.
2. 36mm = TOO SMALL for that stunner. Need a full size.

I guess if it's small then the helium release wart won't be as obvious

Or, as would be more likely, the wart is full size on a small watch.

Full size and those are awesome. 36mm is too small IMO...plus it would be competing with so many of your other nice watches.

I'd shoot for the 41+ unless you have a sub 6" wrist. Get the full size and enjoy.

Aw look, it's a boys watch. It's cute. It's like a real man's watch, only smaller.
