Anyone have/ever had the white 8500 Planet Ocean?

Post by outtatime » Wed Jul 13, 2016 7:21 pm

For some reason, after trying on the White Side of the Moon I'm digging on white watches. I know they're technically marketed towards women, but @ 42mm I don't see why it has to be that way (talking the PO, not the WSOTM).

I almost picked one up for sale but it sold before I could get my new password straightened out. Saved by a data breach I guess.

I think he swapped the bezel to the black ceramic one too.

Had it, sold it to Mark and now it's with Wu (I think)
Ours has the black bezel mod though not the white bezel but I played with the white bezel and it looked fine....like a summer watch.

Oh yeah, I remember yours. That did look cool.

I'd even hit it on the white rubber strap.

I tried the whole white on and it's too much white.

Loved the one Mark had

Love the white PO that RMM had and also the IWC posted by Ben. White dial watches are pretty versatile and do stand out from the rest. That's why I got the Polar Explorer II instead of a Sub. Another one I like, but it's not completely white is the white and blue Tudor Heritage Chronograph.

Thinking about it, it's just hard to find these and even harder to get that strap.
