Incoming "O"...

Post by jimyritz » Thu Dec 03, 2009 9:24 am

I have been going back on forth on the next purchase... Been kicking around
Seamaster Chronos, Breitling SO's, Speedmasters, even the new Tags, etc...
In the end, it all came back to something I previously owned and sold many
months ago....not exactly the same but very close...Even though I wanted
to wait a couple of months just couldn't pass up the opportunity...

Maybe wrong time.... but right deal... :think:

Logo is applied, so probably a black reflection.

Nice pickup, Mike! Love the PO. :thumbsup:

Would match your Doxa that Kenneth wants...

I think I might put mesh on the new PO at some point :headbang:

Hey Dominik,

I don't think you would be disappointed.

Solid desk diver, sport diver--you put a rubber strap
on it or mesh...

Excellent movement, lume.....

A real flexible timepiece to have in your collection...

Love the brushed finish. Definitely needs a mesh to mix it up.

Wow, Congrats Mike!
The orange bezel is friggin awesome, and you soooo need to put that baby on mesh :headbang:
Oh, and on a sidenote...If you sell me the Doxa, Silje, You could buy an orange bezel PO instead, I personally think that is a GREAT idea. You should go for it :mrgreen:

Congrats. While it seems that the black bezel, white numeral variant is more popular, the orange PO has always been my favorite.

Thanks guys and gals...

I've wanted the orange bezel ever since I saw Ripper's pic on the rubber strap....

The Black bezel w/white numbers is fantastic--hard to go wrong with any of the PO's..

I sold a PO many months ago, which was a huge mistake... :doh:
How many of us have done that? :think:

Best

I had a 42 orange and flipped it.

Then had a 45 black/orange and flipped it.

Then had a 42 black/orange and flipped it.

I'm VERY happy to say that I recently re-acquired the 42 b/o and this time it is a definite keeper.

The PO is a timeless design and like others have said, it has a fantastic movement and crazy lume.. :love:

Congrats!!! Don't let it go this time like I did...
