What size do you guys think this PO is?

    I’ve got a PO that I’m about to buy, and the seller says he thinks it’s the oversized version. It is placed right next to a speedy pro(42mm), and doesn’t seem to me like it’s 45.5mm. It looks more like the 43.5 size. I know the picture is awful, but any guesses are appreciated

    Edit: it’s also supposed to be titanium if that helps

    With the space between the date and the marker for 3 o’clock I think it is a 45.5mm watch. It is a bad picture

    Really bad picture but looks like an 8500 P.O. The 45.5mm.

    I agree. I think it’s the 45.5mm. Really hard to tell from the pic though.

    43.5mm POs come as:
    - GMT with 8506,
    - and a regular 3 handed diver with 8900.

    Obviously it isn't gmt and it isn't 8900 bezel insert.
    It's 45.5mm 8500 due to a wide bracelet and the position of date window.
    But I completely underestand where are you coming from with that question. The photo is so confusing.

    Thanks for the help. For some reason I was under the impression that all of the titanium POs were 43.5. Guess that’s only the newest ones. Now I just need to decide if I want another 45.5 PO... the price is tempting

    I would be more worried that this seller clearly has an expensive Omega/Rolex collection but not knowing exactly what he has for sale. Seems like the "I stole a picture from the Internet" type. Make sure to buy the seller first and not get scammed.

    You agree with the statement it’s a 45.5? Then say 43.5?

    He knows what he has... we agreed on a price and he just stopped responding, probably because he realized it was too good a deal for me... originally I was gonna trade a used Mercedes c300 for the box, but he backed out last second since he realized the gmt alone is 3/4 the price of the car(if not more)..

    Yeah sounds stupid, but I was only gonna get 11k out of it if I were to sell. This way I could sell the box and keep one of the watches... I’m not sure I would have actually done it but it did seem tempting at the time \_(ツ)_/¯
