Love it, best GMT for the $$$ IMO. Plus it has the sword hands for better legibility, wears thin for a GMT and one of the few Seamaster with no He valve which is another plus for many.
I've never seen that one! That is a very nice looking piece! I was thinking about the modern planet ocean oreo
I like the PO but wears too big for me (7” wrists). 43.5mm v 41mm (SM GMT) plus the PO is thicker and has the He valve so just looks bigger as well. Both are great looking pieces I think but size and slightly dressier, I think, made the SM the choice for me. If you have the wrists for it the PO is a great choice.
If I was able to go back in time and plan my watch purchases out with a little more thought this would be the planet ocean I'd own. Since I already have two PO's (including a blue GMT) I can't justify getting another. I think this is pretty well known but the 43.5mm GMT is pretty thick (noticeably thicker than the 42mm even), I however like my watch to have a little substance to it.
The 50th Anniversary GMT was the best daily wearer I had. Still regret selling it. But calling it "Oreo" I'd like to like the modern one, but it just too big and way too thick.
Yea I kinda thought the cutsie names were mainly for Rolexes. Don't get me wrong I like Rolexes but I can't stand the silly nicknames. "oh nice Kermit and I see you're wearing your bluesy today".
If it was in titanium I definitely would have kept it, but at 18mm thick (IIRC), it wore really top-heavy. Super legible and pretty uncommon for sure.
I'm wearing my Great White today which I traded my Ultraman for, but I want the new Ed White 321, or at the very least a TinTin
I don't think I remember this model ever previously being referred to as 'Oreo' until fairly recently. It's really not apropos given the lack of a white portion on the bezel. AFAIK, as @wolfe44 stated, this is the model I was under the impression most people associate with that moniker: Whatever it's called, it is a pretty terrific watch.
