New Step-Brother Introduction Made

It was awkward at first, as to be expected, with my Planet Ocean 43.5 the man of the house for the past couple years, but when SD43 came in he was welcomed as part of the wolf pack.
Brothers don’t shake hands, after all. Brothers gotta hug!!!

Best to all!!!!

Joe

After wearing each watch on alternating days for a week or two, I'm interested in reading your side-by-side comparison. Oh....and that is a sweet a$$ Rolex you got.

I picked up the rubber/leather Omega strap for the PO which came on the bracelet. I do prefer the bracelet on it, but the clasp lost a screw on the side of it. I’m waiting for it to come in at my AD. The weight on both on bracelets seem about the same. Rolex really hit a home run with the SD43, but so did Omega with this PO, in my opinion.

I have a 45.5 mm Omega Titanium PO and SD43. Both great watches for any collection.

Tell your PO to kiss your wrist goodbye! The new favourite has arrived. :)
