Two beauties and a nice combination of colors. I got the black 42mm PO back in 2008 and a few months later the orange PO chronograph. Before I bought it I had doubts if I would like its orange color also in the years to come. Now, 15 years later, I love it even more than in 2009 when I picked it up in Hong Kong.
Really nice pieces. I’m inclined towards the 8500. Not thrilled about the thickness but looks so much better than the 2500 overall. You should try to do a video with the black bezel on both.
I have the 2209.50, orange bezel 2500 like yours. I added the toolless microadjust clasp and the fit and comfort are spot on. I prefer the look of the original thin clasp, but it's lack of microadjust is a headscratcher of a design decision.
Funny. I just got the clasp as well. Just waiting on the links for it to install. I will be keeping the 2500 and selling the 8500 very likely . Too attached to the classic at this point and I have two bezels for it orange and black. I do love the more fluorescent orange applied numerals on the 8500 and the movement
I wear my 42 mm 8500 on a rubber strap with folding clasp and it wears very well. The weight is greatly reduced than on the SS bracelet. Also it looks a bit more modern. Great watch. I still don't know what to think about current shiny versions with gloss everything.
Agreed. The not a fan of the new ones or their color combos. Which rubber strap do you have? The more I wear the 8500 the more I got used to the thickness. And now I’m thinking to keep this instead of the 2500. It just feels like a step up in quality

@@Watch_Papa I ordered this one with the orange stitching (I have orange numerals like you do) from Aliexpress just to try it and I didn't expect anything good. And I was wrong and shocked. The quality is astonishing for the price and I would say on par with Omega rubber strap. And it does not have any Omega logos and stuff which is good because I hate fakes. The clasp it of a low quality but you can buy the original Omega clasp and you have perfect combo. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004547824235.html
Great video buddy,it's the 2500 by far the most beautiful planet ocean
