Another Incoming...I lost my mind

    Hello all,

    I'm not sure if "incoming" posts are annoying, but I'm excited, so I'll do it any way, but keep it short.

    I've wanted a PO 2500 for quite a while, but was always discouraged with the 3k price tag for a used one. So, I stumbled across an AD with brand new for essentially the used price.

    Long story short, I added a PO to go with my recently acquired AT in the seamaster part of my lineup. They are similar...but different enough.

    I haven't sized the bracelet (still in the wrap) and haven't decided if I'll keep the croc, so these are NATO strap/custom leathers:

    I should note that HOPEFULLY this is my last incoming for a while. That is, until I buy my Polar back from @Nobel Prize (Sergio). :)

    Annoying? HELL NO! We LIVE for incomings, and so do our squirrels.

    I was expecting an SMPc, This is a surprise.

    Your love/hate relationship with the polar keeps me awake at night Btw.

    I was torn 50/50 between this and a SMPc black, and still may be--but it doesn't matter. I'm very happy with the PO decision. the SMPc is different enough to add another time.

    On a daily basis, the Polar 16570 goes from the only watch I'll ever need, to a watch I'm completely disinterested in.

    The dial, hands, date, Lume, size, weight and movement (3186) are all perfect. But, it has the WORST bezel ever created....

    Incoming is good and a nice choice. I've been thinking a PO 2500D would go well with my Speedy. Not enough funds yet so I'll live vicariously though you........:thumbsup:

    If it's a 2500D brand new at that price then you would have been crazy not to pick it up. Congratulations!
