I swapped one onto my 8500 PO, from the new 43.5mm PO, and it was a simple direct swap. Love it, works fantastic. Changed the entire wearing experience, as you can dial in the perfect fit anytime during the day. And it was only $150. I was floored.

Cheers

Ok so a bit of an update on my end for the new adjustable clasp. I sent an email through the website to Omega about ordering the new clasp. They gave me the correct part number for the titanium one I needed was $274 and low and behold it was on backorder. (As of 2/11 both of the 6 position SS with and without diver extension were in stock and were If I wanted the SS one they had it in stock for $110) I placed the order and was told it wold be approximately 3-4 weeks until the part came in from HQ in Switzerland.
So I do a double shift at work yesterday/overnight and come home and go right to bed.
Wake up and go to leave my house and notice a package in the door from the swatch group/omega. The clasp that was on backorder for approximately 3-4 weeks came in and was shipped out. Got home from my Dr appointment and installed the new clasp.
So far I removed 1 link from the 12 o'clock side and still using the half link and I think it is a perfect fit with the adjustable clasp fully closed.
Going to wear it like this for a few days and decide. If it is perfect I will then take the screws out and put some purple loctite on it so nothing can come loose.
All I can say is this is the clasp it should have come with brand new. Can say this is now the perfect watch in my opinion now.

Thanks for the report. I had the same backordered-and-came-two-days-later experience. I wonder what that's about.

Which Omega model did you install the Titanium clasp on?

Heres the new clasp on my Titanium PO LM. It is a bit larger in length then the original one that came on the watch.
