Incoming: Its "Huuuuge!"

This watch makes the Rolex Deepsea feel light as a feather. Love the finish of the dial but hefty little watch!

Congratulations! The PO chrono may be a thick beast but it can go and do anything. Well worth the added size imo. Enjoy!!

The 600m He valve cases are ALL way too thick for my tastes. I really prefer the tapered rotating bezel on my GMT than the Omega's. All these things add up - a mm here, a mm there...

I think it is around 18mm thick.

Congratulations! I've got the older brother of your watch, the POC 9300. It's top heavy, it wears tall, and it's awesome.

Not sure if the new ones come with the adjustable clasp. If not, definitely worth swapping out to get the adjustability for comfort throughout the day as your wrist expands and contracts. Especially important given the weight and dimensions. It was surprisingly affordable at the boutique, around $100.

This year I picked up the OEM rubber strap and deployant as well. It's pricey given the overall cost of the watch, but quite comfortable. Adjustments are very easy, and it lightens the overall heft of the watch. I like wearing this piece on rubber in the summer and on bracelet when it gets chilly outside.

excellent suggestion regarding the rubber strap. I am trying to find them online but seems like AD is the only way to get it at the moment.

Regarding the clasp, I was surprised to see micro adjustment like Rolex. To your point it does it definitely comes in handy. Though I have to say Rolex's Deepsea clasp is superbly designed and engineered.

I find it funny that you call it huuuugee and it is an orange watch. How appropriate.

Wow now that's a thick watch! Not sure I would be able to rock this style but it looks great!
