The 42mm Cal 8500 PO is probably the all around best daily wear dive watch on the market today all things considered, and definitely the best value, enjoy your purchase mate!
Yeah, a few of us know that feeling with the 8500 watches. (and some of us are dyed-in-the-wool vintage guys too)
I think the ONLY reason I have yet to get into the vintage Omega watches are because of the small size. I don't think they look good on me personally.
Check out the 70's chronographs like the manual wind Soccer Timers (and similar C-cases) with the caliber 861 or the Flightmaster style cased automatics with the 104x Lemania based calibers.
Love it! Very likely my next purchase later this year! Haven't decided on whether to get the orange bezel or not but do like the looks of your new acquisition!! Big congrats! Enjoy!
I have the same in 42mm and I recently bought the orange bezel too in 42mm. I always wanted two omegas and I just love the PO. Was that crazy? I look at it as one of the strongest omegas and I think these will last a long time.
