路My story is quite similar to yours! I got my Ultimate PO Chrono (from the same series as 2500) as a wedding gift (I had to fill in the extra cash) and I was always after the LE PO... I managed to get one 3 years ago, it's an early 2digit number that was sold originally in Japan, I dare to say that it's my fav watch even though I own a lot of Rolex, other Omega etc... congratulations and let us see it please!
Here's mine on rubber strap, best PO ever made!!
Do you still have the PO Chrono? My regret is that I sold the 2201.50 to afford the Sub.My wife said she was ok with it but after I sold out it turned out she really wasn't. It took her a bit to come around but she now agrees that the Sub is nicer than my old PO. Not sure how she will react upon seeing this souped up PO2500.
Regarding the strap in that pic. I've owned that one before. The one thing I didn't like was that Omega used cardboard in the middle of it so it's not water proof like an actual rubber strap. It's fine for sweating in but not to go swimming in. I liked that strap so I am going to see if the Omega boutique can still order them for me.

路That Chrono PO is 45.5mm big watch, I never wear such big watches anymore, now I have a ceramic Daytona, a Kermit, a Sub blue 116613, the LE PO, a GS Snowflake and an Omega Seamaster Trilogy 1957, all watches 39-42mm and thin/short cases for divers etc. I don鈥檛 know how I got to choose that Chrono back then, your Sub is much better than the big PO and a great watch all around
The trilogy 1957 Seamaster was the other watch I was trying to decide between. The trilogy seemed a bit flat and boring to me (the dial that is) as opposed to the LM which has a gloss dial and applied numerals.
My 5 digit Sub is the perfect size for me. It's the reason I 'upgraded' from the 2201.50 to the Sub. 40mm vs 42mm and a few mm slimmer as well. The LM will be my biggest watch.

Let us see the PO when you get it, take care

路My LM LE arrived yesterday. I'm going to see if i can get out to the boutique today to get the bracelet sized for me. I'll get some wristshots up following that.
My wife NEVER comments on my watches besides the usual 'don't you get tired of buying and selling watches'? This time she commented on how nice the watch was. She mentioned it several times and immediately noticed it was much nicer than my old PO2500.

路How thick is that? Looks like the watch is close to 20mm thick.
Like the man above said, it's 19.5mm thick. Makes it tough to slide a jacket sleeve over.
But it perfectly matches the statement "That's not a watch, this is a watch".

It wouldn't have Killed the sub, but the fact that they made their new 8500 mvmt 5.5mm thick, when the previous Gen 2500 Coaxial based on the 2892 (3.6mm) meant that regardless of ANYTHING ELSE, the movement alone was going to thicken the watch by 1.9mm.
42mm 8500 Ceramic PO --- 15.7mm Thick.
42mm 2500 LMPO --- 14.2mm Thick.
1.5mm . . . you're telling me they couldn't have shaved a little thickness off the 8500? A little off the Midcase? A little off the Sapphire Crystal?
Why does the watch HAVE to be 600m instead of 300m? .... Oh well, that's why I spent the $ on the LMPO.

路I much prefer the PO with the lume all the same colour. Not a fan of the minute hand and lume pip being different on the latter Omega offerings.

Yes, I agree, I own the PO 8500 (42mm) and a SUB, I prefer the PO (aesthetics mainly), but鈥ut I dislike the thickness.
With such a thickness there are activities you can麓t do: sailing or home working with a hammer for example, and axe鈥uch a high inertia on the PO that nothing 麓stop鈥檚麓 it.
