New PO 43.5mm Orange Rubber Bezel

I haven't seen much owners sharing this watch.
Is it unpopular?
Just wondering how does it wear?
The previous models wear really tall and i couldn't handle it.
Any owners her can share experiences.
The titanium grey dial is looking really cool.

I've had one for a few months now, and though it is a fantastic watch, I haven't fully bonded with it. It is an improvement in fit from the 8500 series due to the design of the endlinks. I have the 43.5 and to me it wears better than the 42mm 8500 I once owned. However, the watch wears just as tall. I don't mind the height - it's a diver after all and not a dress watch. Have you tried one on?

Thanks for the pics.
I haven't tried one on yet coz i haven't seen one at my local AD.
I am more towards titanium for the weight.
I am.starting to think these are not so popular coz there is not much talk on them and also not many reviews.

Just picked one up a couple of days ago. Like it a lot so far. As AndyK said, it wears tall; but that's to be expected. The weight doesn't bother me at all, but I own a WG Sub and a Platinum Daytona.

I have had the 43 blue for just over a month and love it. The adjustable clasp is what made me finally take the plunge into a planet ocean. The size feels great on my wrist and the weight balances well. The height may be a bit thick for dress cuffs, but it is not bothersome for a great dive watch. I look forward to taking this one into the water in Antigua next week. The 42mm always seemed a little small for the height. In addition, I wear my watches a bit tighter and the shorter end links really hug my wrist well.

I agree, the shorter endlinks are a good feature.

I was intrigued by these, and tried one on at the AD, but it's just too tall for me.

I do like the orange accents though.

Yeah. I have the PO with the 8500 movement and the ceramic bezel. I love the watch, but the bezel numbers aren't as crisp and clear as the Liquid Metal bezels. I wonder if they are interchangeable?
