·Picked up this modded PO 8500 a few days ago. Left the factory white dial/white bezel and the owner also bought a grey bezel from a black dial and had it put on the white dial making a striking mod. The original white bezel was included in the sale.
Started life something like this:
Now looks like this:
Let's look at thickness. I'm not saying it isn't think...it is, but here are a few shots relative to other watches instead of in a vaccuum. This compares the PO, the Heuer Autavia and 3570
The PO and Autavia are virtually the same height
If you wear the Speedmaster on NATO, it wear just as tall as the PO.
Beautifully finished twin barrel engine featuring Si14:
Very, Very nice dial work with thick applied markers and logo and incredible ink
Like others, not happy that the clasp does not offer micro adjustments but a 1/2 link does the trick:
At the end of the day, I love the contrast of white dial and grey bezel. It wears tall, but I have other watches that wear just as tall, and few that are thinner so it fits right in with the others in the box.
