First Time Omega Owner - Seamaster PO 2500D

Received the watch from Kringkily in the mail yesterday. Very smooth transaction. Had it sized at the dealer today! Already ordered a few Natos, and a Orange Rubber strap for it! Super Excited! Its a Planet Ocean XL with the 2500d movement.

First Impressions:
The thing is Heavy
Its in great condition
Going to be far different than wearing my Garmin Vivoactive, haha.
Love the way it looks, may be a bit large, but I wanted to err on that side as opposed to the other, as a personal preference.

I did want to thank everyone on the forum, this place is a wealth of information, and I did quite a bit of research prior to purchasing here and on other sites.

Congrats! Looks great.

You'll be a regular NATO wearer soon. Cuts the weight right down 😉

I have the same model. Mine came on the rubber dive strap and I recently got the Omega shark mesh bracelet. I've gotten a ton of compliments with that combo. Looks great with natos as well.

There sure are a lot of people that like the older PO with the 2500 D movement over the 8500. I like them both but own the 8500, a buddy of mine has the 2500 C. I was serviced twice by Omega and there have been no issues with the movement. He really likes the look of the older PO's as well.

Great watch and on the XL I love the 2500 cal more balanced looks.

Get a rubber/ leather diver strap. I wore my XL on a soft calf skin strap originally made for a panerai and loved it.

Overall you will finds huge difference in the balance of the watch with or without the steel bracelet. With the rubber strap it looks very, very balanced IMO.

Enjoy!

You might also consider a brown or gray distressed strap. I love that look.

I think the PO looks awesome on leather!
