Omega PO dilemma

I am trying to decide on my next watch. I know I want a blue PO. Thoughts on 8500 XL titanium or the 8900 43.5 in steel. I used to have the black with orange numerals 8500 XL.

I love the idea of titanium and the light weight, but like the METAS movement better.

My wrist can handle the size of either. My current watches are Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich and Panerai.

Thoughts?

I have the 8900 PO, and it’s killer. I like the weight, so I’d take this over the titanium version.

Here you go. I went with the 8900. I def preferred the look and feel of the steel to the titanium.

I also think the 43.5 is the a better size for me than the 45.

Looks right at home on your wrist size. Congrats!
