Re: new smaller PO review...
I missed this from Basel and love the idea of of 39.5 PO.
I had the 42mm 8500 and it was too think for me.
The 42mm 2500 was perfect
The 39.5 is 14.16mm tall according to the article.
Still tall for the diameter but I imagine wears much better.
Definitely going to have to try this on one.

I think Omega stumbled onto perfection with the 2500. They should have quit while they were ahead.

Agreed, the only update I could think of is a matte ceramic bezel for 2500D.logan2z wrote:I think Omega stumbled onto perfection with the 2500. They should have quit while they were ahead.

Re: new smaller PO review...
If it wears like a GSAR, which I think is around 14mm, it will work, at least on the bracelet.

Plus the nicer dial and bracelet from the 8500, and then the adjustable clasp from the 300m - it would have been the perfect omega diver. Each version gets marginally worse.Panerai7 wrote:Agreed, the only update I could think of is a matte ceramic bezel for 2500D.logan2z wrote:I think Omega stumbled onto perfection with the 2500.

I actually prefer the dial from the 2500JP Chestnut wrote:Plus the nicer dial and bracelet from the 8500, and then the adjustable clasp from the 300m - it would have been the perfect omega diver.

Re: new smaller PO review...
I prefer the 2500 series and the aluminum bezel models. I'm over the ceramic nonsense.
Re: new smaller PO review...
Ok, so 14mm in 39.5 and over 16 in 43.5, umm why? It is the same movement. They don't get it , it's like a perfectly cut diamond, there are certain proportions to be maintained. 43.5 by 14 would have been perfect

Re: new smaller PO review...
Weirdly the regular 42mm speedy is absolutely perfect from a diameter, lug-to-lug, and width ratio perspective. I can understand altering the absolute size up and down, but the ratios are perfect - why they can't replicate that consistantly - I don't know.Panerai7 wrote:Ok, so 14mm in 39.5 and over 16 in 43.5, umm why?

Re: new smaller PO review...
I'm going to get an adjustable clasp for my PO and keep it for a long time. I've had it almost three years already.

Re: new smaller PO review...
The "1154" clasp (see WUS thread" is a direct fit.

Re: new smaller PO review...
Perfect size at 39.5mm. Now, to start looking for a deal.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
Re: new smaller PO review...
PO 2500 will require the end links from the equivalent 8500 variant. You'll use the screws and pins for the end link, but in concert with the collar from the 2500 pin/collar system. I believe one of the models won't be exact because the end links are different widths. There are two WUS threads which give details.Joeprez wrote:Read it can be done to the 2500 bracelet, will look for the parts tonight.CGSshorty wrote:I'm going to get an adjustable clasp for my PO and keep it for a long time.
