Love that blue though.

[Panerai7]

Wish it were 34mm , would get one

[RALAustin]

Wonder what the lug distance is on this one. Would LOVE IT if 40mm with 20mm lugs. The 23mm lugs on their FF Sports and the original Bathys are the bane of my existence (or at least really suck).

[matt.wu]

Would be a winner in SS (it looks Ti), a larger case, different hands, and no date.





So basically, I like the blue.

I like it a lot, but it would have zero staying power for me.

[apnk]

I like it. I bet it'll have 19mm lugs or some weird shit

I don't see it that way. If anything, some companies that were making decent sized pieces (40-42) are producing larger pieces now i.e Omega.

Anything below 40mm = dress watch for me

[Monkeynuts]

O come on this is getting silly 38mm?.

Be a nice watch for the wife

True. But I've personally given up on Omega's size and color palate with the exception for the Speedy Pro and the fact they're still keeping it alive. When the cal.9904 was revealed I knew the exit of the cal.1866 was confirmed but also wondered if that meant certain doom for the 1861. Not the case as we've seen with the new Snoopy & Speedy Tuesday. I reckon they have an obligation to keep the the 1861 alive at least until the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, which will be (hopefully) the watch to have, and most certainly out of my budget, but I'd love to see it anyway. I hope they keep the 1861 for another 50 years thereafter as it will never leave the stable.

Although I retract my "comeback" comment my 6.5" wrists welcome the 38-40mm size and we've seen it with Tudor, IWC, and perhaps others I've missed. IWC shaved a measly 1mm off their Mark series to 40mm and it's become my favorite wearing watch. Period.

And even though I'm wearing a 43mm Bremont which is my absolute max and wears more like 41-42mm due to the short lugs, they've shrunk their Solo range to 37mm, which is even a tad small for me even, but there's rumors they're going to offer some in the 39-40mm range. Fingers crossed for me anyway.

Omega released a smaller and thinner version of the new PO. It's totally normal looking, and similar thickness to the 2500. I like it a lot.

[mrneddles]

The dial elements are in better proportions and spacing than the full size.

Are those the 39.5mm references? Didn't realize they were thinner

EDIT: I see they are 14.16mm compared to the 15.7mm for the 42mm 8500. I bet they wear very similar to the SDc, which is absolutely perfect for me. I'll need to check these out.

That's right. I happened to pass by the Omega Boutique in Roseville, CA on Wednesday during work but didn't have time to try it on even though it was in their window display. Looked good! Although I loved the SD4000 and should have never flipped, it seemed like a solid alternative.

[gwells]

i wouldn't mind trying it on. i liked the 43mm one, but it did wear a little big to me. i'd have probably been happier with 40mm, but i can see them seeing 38mm as a "unisex" size.

[Joeprez]

That watch is fucking hot. 40mm would be the sweet spot for me, but I want to try it anyways... love blue watches.

[Panerai7]

I meant to say that it's totally a girls "oversized" look watch, but at 34mm I'd be getting it for my girl.

[Torrid]

38mm does seem a hint small, but more options aren't a bad thing.

I agree. It seems like an under the radar winner. I'm pretty sure it has the adjustable clasp too. When they hit the usual Omega level of depreciation I might pick one up. I think my PO2500 is a little too big.

I thought they came with the same clasp that the women's sizes came with, but the adjustable clasp fit and some people were paying to swap them.

You sound better informed than me - I've only taken a cursory look - I'll defer to you.

[ncstate1201]

I think the lug to lug measurement is more crucial to how a watch wears on my 6.75" wrist than diameter. Anything 50mm and under works for me for length. And 38mm works well for me in some watches but I fear 38mm with a dive bezel on it may wear a bit smaller.
