I have that one and it’s so much nicer in person than any of the pics I’ve seen. Congrats!

Love that orange bezel, but wished it came with a black dial. Intend to buy the one with black bezel with quarter orange rubber inserts and then buy an extra orange bezel to get my dreamwatch.

Congratulations. That’s a great one. Every time I see it in the display case I am drawn to it as well. Also love it on the striped Nato with the burnt orange anf taupe color.

Congrats! I was at the boutique last week and that orange/white creamsicle is fantastic. If only it came in the 39.5 case. My skinny 6.5 inch wrist couldn’t take it so I went blue. Again, congrats it’s a beautiful piece!

Congrats!

When the PO first came out about 15 years ago the first one I ever saw was the orange bezel version. Since then I always think of orange as the classic PO color. I’m glad they finally made an orange ceramic bezel, I’m waiting for a black dial/orange bezel version.

mikea -- congrats on your pick-up; what a handsome watch! I haven't seen one in person; although have the PO 43.5 with black dial (the non-rubber insert model) on order from my AD. I love yours; yet bought the AT41 "Rory" a couple of months ago, so another white dial would be redundant in my collection. I agree with what others have said that orange is definitely synonymous with the PO collection, and your model absolutely nails it! Quick question: does the bracelet taper at all? My AT41 bracelet tapers ever so slightly, and I know the Seamaster bracelet doesn't taper at all, so just curious how you find the PO's bracelet in terms of taper and comfort. Thank you, and congrats again.

There is an ever so slight taper but it is a substantial bracelet without a doubt. I had a Good Planet PO so I was comfortable with the size.

Curious what the weight of that is please Mike, if you have a set of scales.

Also, a lume pic of that beauty would be great. Beautiful watch, not yet seen one in person

Very nice. They have one in my AD at the moment. Really nice watch. I like the white dial, but if they do a black dial version I will likely pick one up.

Congrats awesome pick-up

Seriously gorgeous watch. 39.5 mm version in titanium and I'd be all over it!

Great watch! I’m biased about Planet Oceans but that is an outstanding watch. Congratulations!

I love a good white dial sport/dive watch. I have been one fence with the orange ceramic. Good pickup though. Enjoy!
