SM300 clasp on PO8500
Have struggled with the PO for over a month. The lack of micro adjustment is a real pain in the wrist. My AD ordered me the SM300 clasp and installed it today. Watch fits so much better and feels better balanced on the wrist with the larger clasp. May not flip this one now.

I'm glad they finally released that clasp. It's great that omega allows us to purchase it. I ended up buying one with end links for a speedy bracelet and it fit perfectly. I just hope they make the endlinks for a fit on the aqua terra one day.

Yes. Its a direct fit on the PO 8500 42mm. i have been told by my AD it also fits the 44mm. I had to remove a link as the clasp is bigger. But it feels better balanced now, and clasp is centered on my wrist.

Thats great! I sold my PO 8500 because of that clasp. I wish this had been an option back then, I'd definitely have kept my PO.

I agree, I love my AT, and the clasp actually looks fantastic as it's only the size of a link. However, I would trade that sleekness for a little bit of adjustment for sure.

^^ Wow, only $117? Imagine how much it would cost if it were a Rolex clasp...never mind the fact that they wouldn't allow you to purchase it in the first place.

It was very inexpensive an they were very cool with ordering it all in for me, so Omega is very WIS friendly when it comes to this stuff... In contrast, IWC wanted a FULL SERVICE for me to get (2) links I needed for a 3777 bracelet that I bought pre-owned. |

Right, Rolex would never allow this. As for the price I do believe they are made in china. Not that I care.
