Love the lume. You can really see the green 12 marker and minute hand. Please excuse my lack of photo skills
I know that the best camera is our eyes and I bet what you see is pretty amazing [emoji6]

Thank you for the wonderful and helpful photos. You have convinced me this is my next Omega. I love the orange dial numbers, it really makes that gloss black color a thing of pure class. I am thinking in about a month one will be on my wrist, thank you again!

New member here, but longtime Omega and Rolex guy. Just ordered my PO 8900 orange yesterday, in no small part because of all the great pics you've shared in this thread.

The orange one is really nice looking. I sold my 8500 PO ti because it wore too thick for me. I like how the 2500 wears so much better. Would you mind sharing more pics of the POLE? And comparing and contrasting how the two wear? I understand the newer POs wear much better due to how they configured the end links.

The LMPO wears much more comfortable hands down! There is no comparison due to the weight and the case height difference between the two! To be honest I have let the 8900 go since I was looking for the LMPO for sometime now and as mentioned wears more comfortable. The 8900 is a "better" watch being modern and 6 years later, crystal is better, clasp adjustment, in house movement etc etc. The LMPO is like having a Gullwing Merc that is defin worse than a modern Merc but you can never let it go and enjoy having it..
I might buy the same 8900 again after a couple of years maybe, don't ask me why I did sell it now just did I guess but don't have second thoughts

Congrats on snagging a PO LM LE. It's truly one of the great Omegas.
Thank you very much!! I am so into it, I always loved the case and this one is I believe maybe the most beautiful PO (if not 惟) for so many out there

Cannot stop taking pics of it it seems

Well I have mine at the closet but anyway what's the use of the box? You see it once twice and then sits somewhere forgotten

I guess, I only have the one nice watch so If the box was smaller I would probably use it to keep it in. Maybe I should just use it as an excuse to buy more watches to fill my watch box 馃檮

So much excitement and so much photos and there she goes, what makes you sell it that fast ? Was it to tall , to heavy ?

I sold it fast because as I said it felt kinda big and heavy yes but to be honest if I didn't get the LMPO limited then I would not sell it of course. It is just that I could not justify having two of them and the other felt better in the wrist plus is rare so I had to decide between the two. The 8900 is beautiful and packed with features, highly recommended, I don't say that I will not buy it in the future maybe in 2-3 years [emoji12]
