Glad you finally made the decision, good choice and glad you have a strap change for it when the mood takes you.
You just need a NATO and a Nice caramel coloured leather strap and you have the perfect watch with all bases covered.
Enjoy and wear in good health

What have you decided?

Surely going with both? I honestly can't believe how nice this watch is. I drove over 2 hours to view/buy it never having seen one in the flesh. He had it out in it's box, as soon as I looked at it, I had that warm glow inside "knew it was the one"

Don't sell yours if you don't have to !!

It's now a keeper and I am going to show some self control and wait until this lockdown crap is over and go to my local AD and have that fab instore experience of trying the watch on, ( and possibly a couple of others).

Honestly never seen one in the flesh until now.
I tried on the 39.5, to small and tried on the 43.5, to big/bulky.

The 42mm fits like my 41mm datejust, just a bit taller.
But it's a dive watch and for me a dive watch should have a bit of bulk to it.

After ready lots of info on here and watching lots of videos, I was almost certain the 42mm would be the perfect match.

And it is

Nice. I currently have a Sub and a Tudor Black Bay, so this will be my first foray into Omega, but I've read countless reviews and watched countless videos, and the 42mm PO is really speaking to me. I'm looking for something with a little more heft and wrist presence than the Sub and BB, but not anything in the 44-45mm range, so I think this may be the one for me.

You won't be disappointed. I was lucky and found a good example at a good price. Luckily mine was on the the rubber with deployment clasp, but with the bracelet supplied as well.

From what I've read the 42mm PO fits like the 40mm Rolex sub.

Beauty! I'm actually wearing mine on rubber today.

It's funny, in certain light (often aggressive jewellery store lighting) this watch doesn't look that great as a result of the matte dial and bezel but get it out under the right lighting and it's absolutely stunning!

An instant (albeit discontinued and a few years old now) classic!
