I've had my PO 8500 42mm for over a year now (it was a year mid-January), and I can say this, it's become my absolute favorite watch and I wear it more days than not. It keeps excellent time and has only had to be hacked to a hand full of times. The stainless bracelet after a year of daily wear looks a lot better than my Breitling did after being worn every day for about six months after its last service which included bracelet and case restoration. The only little gripe that I have with this watch is that the AR coating seems a little delicate as it's visibly scratched in a couple of places. I can certainly live with it until it's serviced in a couple of years though. All in all, the PO 8500 was money well spent. The downside, I've really been eyeing another Omega, perhaps an AT 8500 this time.
