37.5mm Planet Ocean Liquidmetal

[SearChart]

Hi guys,

I just saw that there is a 37.5mm gents model Planet Ocean available in titanium with a liquidmetal bezel.
Seems like a good alternative for people with a small wrist like me.

I believe there is also a 42mm to go along with this.
I'm very interested in seeing these new additions in person as I think the PO's are beautiful watches. My concern is the thickness of this model. Even though the diameter is smaller my guess is the thickness remains the same. We'll see.

Correct, this titanium version will be available in 37.5mm 42mm and 45.5mm.
I tried the 42mm 8500 (stainless steel) a few months back but the thickness wasn't too much of a problem for me, however it was a bit too big because the lugs are a bit too long and chunky which makes a bracelet look a bit stupid on my wrist.

Saw it, it's awesome. Thinking of it for the wife. It's still on the thick side for 37mm but is ridiculously light. The movement is different as it doesn't have the jump hour feature like the 42 and 45mm.
Very beautiful.

Yup, this watch features the 8520 movement.

Just got back from the boutique in NYC.
Tried on the 8500 blue liq metal. Its awesome!
The strap was perfect on my 6.5" wrist... the bracelet wore a tad large (super, super light)

While not a big fan of overly large watches, the 37mm is too small for a dive type watch

I think that a 37mm PO is absolutely perfect! I just might have to take a visit to an AD eventually.......

Indeed, it's kind of like a dress watch version of the full-size Planet Ocean.
