Bad news, just got a PO in....

Post by matt.wu » Tue Jan 12, 2010 10:43 am

...and I forgot how much I loved this watch. Crap - this is not good.

It's so much quality from a reputable brand in an affordable package. Wears nicely on bracelet or rubber and is so versatile. Looks like I'll have to pick up another. :banghead:

(This one's a 45.5, so it's too large for me to keep, but I am going to be on the lookout for a 42)
:htfu:

You should keep it and flip the 1200T to me. :gift:

Snapped a few pics. I can't believe this watch can be had for well under $2k. :oops:

I've been thinking about a PO too.
The things I really like:
1. Broad arrow hands
2. Red tipped second hand
3. Applied markers look nice and deep (hold a lot of lume)
4. Co-axial movement

I'll add another to Jake's list - goes great with a suit, jeans and a t-shirt, or even a wetsuit (or so I've heard :whistle: ) :thumbsup: I thought the second hand was yellow-tipped? Is it different on the 2200.50? :scratch:

I think you guys are both colorblind. I'd call the second-hand orange tipped. :lol:

I've got the same version on the bracelet and I can't keep it off my wrist. :bananastoner:

Seriously, the PO has got to be one of the most photogenic watches out there. I owned one last month for about 15 minutes (long story) and wish I still had it. :think:

I knew it was bad news. Sure enough, a mere 3 weeks after posting this, look what arrived today (thanks, Bill :salute: ):
