·Had to go with the Master in Blue. Magnificent technology and execution!
Bought "retirement" watch at 60 because I don't think I will ever really retire...besides, the gov't is pushing society to consider "retirement" at age 70. (full Social Sec. Benefits). I don't want a watch for retirement at seventy and then die at 72. Enjoy it while I can... NOW!

·Skyfall dial is awesome. I also have the older 2500 but in 39.2mm size (2503.33.00), below in brown Omega OEM leather / deployment:
I recently thought about selling it to pursue an 8500, but will probably rather add a second AT to the stable 😉

Now to look and see if they make it a little smaller for me....I like them around 34-36mm.....

How big is your wrist? Planar or round shape? Pictures wearing your current watches would help.
Anyway, if you go to an AD or Omega boutique try a current 38.5mm AT as the body size is less than a mm smaller, will give you an idea on size fit.

·What is an AD? Is that someone who works in one of the boutique?

AD means Authorized Dealer. I think a 39.2mm will be fine for you

·The 2503.33 was discontinued around 2011. I found a NOS example on chrono24 from a dealer in Germany. Quite s stunning watch, though I agree the bracelet could be better. No micro-adjustment, for example--you have to add/subtract links or half links. I'm currently waiting for a dark blue Hirsch croc strap which I hope will dress it up nicely.

·My skyfall says hi!
I also prefer the older model with the frame at the date window and the non polished center links. Mine has the 8500B Si-14 so movement wise only thing dont have is the 15k gauss rating [emoji6]

·This is one of my favorite watches. I don't really dress up, but this one goes well with about anything. Bought this one after the master was released, and really much prefer the boxed date window and non polished CL.

I have to agree.....the "boxed" date window just seems to catch my eye a bit better than the current model. But that asking was your favorite child😀.
The date window on my PO8500 really bothered me. I look at the date pretty often and couldn't get past the fact on how small the date window is on their newer models. Ended up flipping the PO8500 for several other reasons, but the date window was a bummer IMHO. Much similar to the newer AT's.
I think I may try to find this model pre-owned. And yes, the older style bracelet is pretty cool too. The only really thing you are giving up is the 15k gauss.
