It’s finally here. After a few months of searching, my new 42mm 2500 PO finally arrived. As of right now, it’s running +1/spd. As many people here have said, it’s the perfect sized dive watch (for my wrist size, at least). It’s definitely heavier than my other watches but I love the aluminum bezel and matte dial. Thanks to OF for all of the guidance!

Very nice, great model, bought mine new 15 years ago, serviced a couple of years ago but not as accurate as yours.

The rubber strap takes the weight off considerably.

Can never go wrong with the original PO. Looking for one in good condition.

Just be patient! I used watchrecon (and everywhere else) everyday for about 3 months until this 2500D finally surfaced on watchuseek. It’s not perfect but I got a good deal and it’s a hell of a watch. Good luck with your hunt!

As far as I understand, the 2500d movements start at 8525**** and up.

if I’m incorrect, someone more knowledgeable here will let us know.

Serial number of my 2500D starts 8751, I guess that ties in with your understanding

Is that the Casino Royale Planet Oceania?
No. I believe the Casino Royale PO has 007 on the back ent of the second hand.
