Nice, good stuff. Since getting rid of my original POLM I have tried the titanium chrono one but didn't get on with it. Nowadays I wear my orange PO chrono which, I believe, is the only aluminium bezel PO still made

Interesting. These are two quite similar watches to have in the same collection. Which do you prefer and why? I think I know which I prefer but just interested to hear your opinion as a lucky owner!

PS - Are these the same size? The orange one looks slightly bigger or do my eyes deceive me?

Hey there Fletcher, no they are 42mm and 43,5mm, the modern 8900 is thicker and heavier too. I have the LMPO for 3 days only and the 8900 only for a month so I went off the charts this month with Omega. I used to have the uPO Chrono which felt big and heavy after I tried a Rolex Submariner... I cannot pick my fav yet as both are with me for such a short period of time, LMPO is sure a rare and limited, the 8900 is modern with nice features, METAS certification, open case back and absolutely stunning design.. I don't know, which one is yours???

So you disagree with my statement that these are of the most gorgeous POs ever made?? Let me use some pics to change your mind then

By the way see how cleverly Omega changed the solid end link design so the case is now smaller compared to the other 43,5mm Omegas

No I don't disagree! I like the orange one best out of the 2 but its a close call. I think there are just a few more details on it. I like the more serrated edge to the bezel. I like the way the second markers kind of join to a partial chapter ring in between each 5 minute marker (if you get me). I like the larger numbers on the bezel. I like the way the orange numbers stand proud. I love the orange generally. I'm toying with this watch next or a DSOTM. I love this on the orange strap as well if not more. I think it would look great in summer on the orange rubber strap. I think I would probably buy it on the metal bracelet and buy the rubber strap separate as the 2 watches are virtually the same price and I think it would probably be a lot more expensive to buy it on the runner strap and buy the metal bracelet separate.....if you get me. Enjoy They both look fab

I get you on all points! Yes but the bracelet wight away, there is a nice NATO strap as well to match it out nicely later on, see pic..
The 8900 is just perfected, the LMPO is the first of its kind and amazing balanced in size and weight, hard to choose so both are staying lolol!!

At 42+ mm those watches are too big for me, but darn they are nice! Congrats all.

Have you tried them on? They wear smaller and more comfortably than their specs would lead you to believe.

If you haven't, give it a shot. You may be surprised at how well it fits.
