Had a 2500 PO x3 before. First time it just stopped working and I returned it. 2nd had a faulty helium valve that just protruded and that was returned. Third worked well but I hated the case back. Because of the horse w surrounding rim, it would create a vacuum against my wrist and it would smell weird.

I'm not a smelly person but that was the last straw. I sold my 2500 PO.

Now I tried out the 8500 PO and that is fantastic and it has a clean glass caseback that won't smell and the movement is better.

I love both. The 8500 is gorgeous but sooo thick. The 2500 simply for its size. A human can actually wear the 2500

Well, glad you're happy with the non-smelly version!
