I should've purchased the PO
I recently picked up the Seamaster Pro (2245.50) I love the classic design and these are pretty sought after since their discontinuance. Admittedly, I didnt try one on before the purchase. The results are it wears too small on me. Im used to wearing and SD43, so there's that. Im kicking around the idea of selling this for the big Planet Ocean ). It seems to go with the classic black diver look I gravitate towards and would wear a bit bigger. Thoughts

Return it if you aren’t in love.

I had two around 10 years ago and I sold it twice. It was a time when I used to think it was too small. Same era when I used to own 2 XL POs. I was lucky and bought my old XL PO back but nowadays I think it's a bit too big for me, so I'd say keep your 2254.50. However, if you end up selling, maybe the classic 45 PO is a good option. Both great watches.

If I wore an SD43 I wouldn't bother buying another diver's watch because it's probably difficult to peel an SD43 off of the wrist.

I'd give it a chance and see if seems better after a few days wearing it.
But if you decide to flip for a PO,def a solid pairing with SD. |

I’m wearing one now on a 6.5-6.75 inch wrist. It sits really low, i can’t imagine you would love this size if you were used to a sd43. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I also say give it a longer chance. Sometimes it takes a while to mentally adjust.
Little harm in waiting a bit longer as I see it. |

You know if it is right or not. Cut your loses and get what you want. Happens to all of us if you trade/buy enough.

PO is my favorite Omega model. The POC in particular fits my li more than any other model.

An SMP and PO make a wonderful combination. Keep it and aim to add a PO

I've had a couple of the Seamasters and, while I like them in theory, they just never stick with me in person for some reason.
Now THIS one... I put it on last week and just can't take it off. It's the first watch I've ever considered sleeping with. Wait, that sounds wrong... haha. You know what I mean. |

I’d give it a few days and see how you get on. The sword hands alone are worth the effort to keep it. Best hands every made, in my opinion.

I've owned my "Casino Royale" PO2500 45.5 since 2005. Still wear it with great satisfaction. It's been faultless. Can't recommend it enough.

Try things on before you buy brother, you just made a mistake that will cost you 50% of the purchase price. Don't make the same mistake on the planet ocean or you will lose even more.

I shouldn’t lose any money on this one. These are getting snatched up all day for around 2k. That’s all I need to break even. That’s all I strive for these days.
