Planet Ocean Thickness - Not so bad

That’s why you try it on before you buy. If the fit is not to your liking, you should simply not buy it.

I agree with you. That's why I don't own an Omega PO GMT even though it's more beautiful than most Rolex GMT's in my opinion.

I'd choose the Omega over the Rolex save the Thickness.
The Omega's design is so much more elegant and modern.... BUT 17.25mm thick vs 12mm thick.
Which is why I say, Rolex is "Function Follows Form" They created a Watch that looks and wears the way they want, and they said "Oh well, it's only 100M rated..."

Omega is "Form Follows Function". They Created a 600M Rated GMT and said "Oh well, it's thicker by 5mm"

And that's why I don't own a PO GMT . . .

By the way, can someone tell me what's the thickness of the new 39.5mm PO ?

If a wizard can reduce in 2 millimeters my PO 42 8500 thickness, I will give him all my collection, including the SUB.

According to the Article

The Seamaster PO is already a rather bulky watch, with a large bezel, large indexes and large hands. Even in this 39.5mm edition, it has a 14.16mm height – and over 16mm in the 43.5mm version.

The LMPO is what? 14mm?

I have just measured my standard PO2500 and it's 14.2mm.

I would presume your LMPO (beautiful watch, by the way !) is the same.

I'm no wizard, but would love to give that a try... I have a rather sizeable mallet here that might just do the trick... 😉

...you will include all the boxes and papers, right ?
