So... the new PO
So... the new PO
I’m knobs if glad they went red in white instead of grey. They keep trying too hard on adding colors. but they’re still missing the boat of the simple grey bezel on the polar white. And I still have a unique combo.
I don’t hate it, but it’s not the red I would have chosen.

They call it orange.
Re: So... the new PO
I guess it’s on the orange side of red. At least in this pic, it doesn’t look particularly orange. Especially since they’ve hit a good orange with the original PO 2500/8500.

Re: So... the new PO
Whatever it is, I'm with you. The grey bezel/white dial combination is the better one.

I find silver hands on a white dial difficult to see these days.logan2z wrote:Whatever it is, I'm with you. The grey bezel/white dial combination is the better one.

Re: So... the new PO
I think it depends on the contour of the hands. I have a JLC with silver hands and a silver dial but the hands are contoured such that they catch the light pretty well under most lighting conditions. Don't know how the PO hands would fare against a white dial, though.

They’ve gotta save something for next year. A grey bezel and white dial would be an interesting combo.

Re: So... the new PO
Close but Richard is better, and I’m pretty sure that none of my Omegas are fake.
Re: So... the new PO
Much like Rolex with Red, Omega is probably struggling to get a good shade of orange with Ceramic. Didn't the original 2nd generation Orange PO stay with an aluminum bezel while the Black version was in Ceramic.

Yes. Both Omega and Rolex have struggled getting a decent set of colors. Ceramic bezels were an imperfect solution to a problem that didn’t matter.

Re: So... the new PO
Red bezels work better with black dials.

Yes.
Re: So... the new PO
I think the orange in the 8500 version was a rubber inlay.

Re: So... the new PO
Did we talk about that yet? Looks cool to me.
Re: So... the new PO
I’m sure you’re right. I was thinking of the one they did with the grey dial and the orange inlay that ran from 0 to 15. Was that an 8500 or an 8800/8900?JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 5:09 pmThe newer crappier looking ones are rubber. The 2500 and 8500 orange inserts are the same construction, I'm almost 100% sure.
