Omega PO XL
Omega PO XL
...just sold a couple of pieces on the weekend. As a result, I'm now on the prowl for a black or orange bezel Omega PO XL non-chrono version, as I already have one.
Let's see some shots of yours on whatever bracelet or strap you have.

Re: Omega PO XL
Thanx for the awesome shots so far guys, keep 'em comin'...
Re: Omega PO XL
I'm a strap guy at heart, so I rarely use the beautiful bracelet.

Re: Omega PO XL
The more pics I see here, the more I want a non-chrono version as it represents the classic, clearly defined look I want.

Re: Omega PO XL
^^Nice. My PO has made me question the need for another dive watch.

Re: Omega PO XL
Both versions are very versatile

Re: Omega PO XL
Even though mine were 42mm, I highly prefer the 2500d over the 8500 due to thickness and overall the older style is a classic look opposed to new and shiny.

Re: Omega PO XL
That's a great comparison shot BBK357. The orange numerals really "pop" when contrasted against the white ones.

Re: Omega PO XL
Ben, why you ended up selling the blue Ti PO? I thought about picking one up (and selling my 2500 black PO).

Re: Omega PO XL
For some reason in this watch I liked it better in SS.
The Ti is finished very very well, for what it's worth.
The 8500 is thicker, the hands are longer and I do not like them as well, and the version I had was a little too blingy for me.

Re: Omega PO XL
A PO is also in my future, likely the orange numbers 42mm version.
I constantly think about trading down to one, and just keeping it as an one watch.

That's something that has me on the fence, the thicker case. Will need to go to the Omega boutique to try it again.BBK357 wrote:For some reason in this watch I liked it better in SS.

It's a great one watch, but coming from a sub you will have issues with it. My main issue, and it's being picky- is the stupid screw down HEV.

Re: Omega PO XL
Yeah, I hate that f&*(** extra pusher spoiling the symmetry. I also like the 2500 version more simply because they have an open 6 and 9 on the dial.BBK357 wrote:blowfish89 wrote:A PO is also in my future, likely the orange numbers 42mm version.

Re: Omega PO XL
I think the 2500 could easily do one-watch duty.
I'm also hoping for a sword hands re-issue of the 2254, but with the 2500d motor. It would be easy to do, just take the current SMPc and change the dial & hands. If Omega was smart, they would do it. Just for me.
