    Have Omegas et al, but have a fellow with a one owner LM LE purchased new Sept, 2012.
    The 2500 Cal. Or just go with a newer 42mm 8500, black dial or none at all.
    If Hayek would just listen, Swatch would make a totally Schwartz, so very tired of gaudy/flashy
    in your face watches. Anyhoo, comments welcomed! ( Along these lines, not where to go):(

    Well, if you don't like flashy, then I think the cal. 8500 Planet Ocean is the way to go, it's a bit more subdued than the LM PO. The matte dial and bezel really tones it down, makes it (relatively) restrained for a dive watch. If you want to tone it down a bit further, then why not one of the latest Aqua Terras? Solid all rounders, lower profile, and again, quietly understated

    I guess it depends exactly what you're looking for in a watch, and how you want to wear it

    All the best,

    Chris

    Yea the PO8500 in black is a very subtle yet beautifully finished tool watch
