I have just over a 7 inch wrist.
Yes it's on deployment but due to me wearing it everyday for work I wear it on an after market strap as I believe the stitching is vulnerable to fraying? Save the original for retirement!
Love everything about this watch, even the boxing is cool.
Wow wow wow!!!
What a lovely pair you have!!
Can I ask what size wrist you have and any issues with your 42mm PO?
thanks
I’ve had 3 42mm Planet Oceans. All of them were the 8500 movement. I have a 7.25” wrist which is rather flat. I gave the first one to my son after I’d had it for a few months because I bought a Rolex BLNR and it was his grad year. I missed having a PO so I bought another one. I had it for a couple of years and then one day I saw the 42mm titanium PO. I had to have it. I love it. It’s light and comfortable. Very easy to read day and night and keeps great time. You have to search a bit to find them but I think they’re the nicest PO out there. Here’s a photo or two. The colour changes with the lighting. Good luck with your decision and search.
my humongous wrist is 6.5ish in. I’m mid build. It’s one of my fav. 42mm is just right for me. I tried on 39.5 and preferred 42. It’s a little more watch for the money. Howver, if It were my daily, I’d go 39.5.
zero issues, since new. It’s a tank, just like many modern O. I don’t abuse my watches, but I don’t baby them either. I go thru my day, doing all the dude stuff, shooting hoops, jogging, playing w Barbie (ahem, with my daughter) with whatever watch I put on in the morning. I made a mistake of removing my watch to play ball in my teen, and never saw it again. My watch stays on me till I come back home. If it fails on me living life, it doesn’t deserve a spot in my box.
That's not the correct box. Someone gave you the Ploprof packaging by mistake.

Who knows with Omega?
Couple of available Ploprof's at the moment.
The orange strap one comes with the wooden box?
The red case is for watches that come back from the service center.
The wooden box is supposed to be for gold models that were supplied pre-mid-2015.
They are not always paired correctly by the dealer, or someone swapped the boxes after the fact. Your box was only ever paired with the Ploprof. But that's okay, because it's just a box and the watch is where the good stuff is at (it's funny how you have the box as your avatar).
Anyways, your pictograms card is supposed to have a little icon that matches what the box has to tell you what it's supposed to come with.
You need to try them on. I can wear a 45.5 Planet Ocean first gen but not the 2nd gen.
I recently tried on a 39.5 and I loved it.
wrist diameter is not the sole factor.
I think the smaller ones look a bit disproportionate. The 42/43.5 look nice and modern to me. Especially considering it's such a sporty watch. I have a 7.5" wrist so not far off from you. I have two 45.5s and even though they are definitely large, I enjoy the presence.
