What happened to the gold.?

Love the PO, great pickup.

Well I thought you carried off the Breitling perfectly well mate but I agree 42mm'll be even better on you!

Fantastic watches the old PO's though I still regret selling mine.....

I think you would really like it Travis. I am very impressed with the quality, comfort and overall look. I especially love the matte gray look of the ceramic and the 8500 movement is exquisite. I added both of these watches to the collection this week...

You MUST be really impressed to add 2 in one week. Congrats.
I'm loving the matte ceramic 45mm as well. I think it's meant to be.
Love your pics as always too.
Dino - can't wait for your update with the incoming.

Thanks, Travis! I appreciate the kind words.
I will hopefully be posting more pics and a review this afternoon/evening.

Have you tried the 45.5mm in person? With the extra height on the new 8500, it is truly a beast.

Either way you go (42mm or 45.5mm)...absolutely a great watch.
