cant go wrong with the 2500, the movement is a workhorse and its a gorgeous fairly slim dive watch.
The PO is totally different watch. What made you choose between these two Omegas?
The current retro diver 300 would be most like it—but maybe a bit dressy. Have you tried it on? Have you tried the PO on? The PO is a great watch—but it’s a big piece of metal.
the 2500 42mm is the smallest wearing PO. Or darn close, the 39.5 of the current gen is thicker. 2nd gen's or 45.5's those are giant hunks of metal that totally beat the Rolex sub in the use of a weapon category of any review.
or you could suck it up and wear a ladies' 2nd gen 37.5mm PO 😀
I have had the SMPc, the current Diver 300M and didn't like either of them. Then I saw the Watchco and was immediately sold on the perfect look and size of this watch. I had and have some concerns regarding the movement being super old though.
And then I saw the PO and noticed that I looks very similar to a SM300. Minus the hands (and the HEV is not as unsightly as it is on the Diver 300M). I immediately got a POLMLE (thougth I'd go with the best) but didn't like it on account of all the glossy surfaces. I did notice that the PO 2500 is indeed a perfect modern interpretation of the SM300 in many ways.
