Tried on the PO 45 today with silver numerals and feel its the way to go for me. Really classy, yet quite formidable too. As I can only afford one nice watch this is going to be the one for me. One thing I did notice however was that its quite 'shiny', dare I say slightly 'blingy', more so than the images I've seen online. Of course it could have just been the lights in the store. Still looks fab though even on my 7.5" wrist. An AD here I the U.K. has quoted me a good price, £500 off retail which sounds great!
£500 sound good next to list, but ask some of the UK members here if they can recommend a better deal. One would expect a better price I think, on the continent at least.
I've seen a website here in the U.K. that will do it for another three hundred less, sourcing it from Europe, but I think due to the amount of money involved I'd rather get it from a UK AD.
Its a monster of a watch with an excellent level of finishing, and more technical sophistication than just about any dive watch currently on the market, Calibre 8500 is brilliant.
I agree, it's not as perhaps rugged looking as a Seawolf, but a lot more versatile. I intend to wear it everywhere, every day, supermarket, work, watching tv, in the bath! Rather than just bringing it out for those special occasions.
If anyone here in the U.K. can recommend an AD that gives an even better discount then a PM would be greatly appreciated.
