4th of July Planet just landed

So I had to share my excitement with everyone as I just picked up my first Planet Ocean. A 42mm version with the 2500 movement. I luv it. Thought at first it my be too big for my 6 3/4" wrist, but turns out it fits just perfect. It even looks smaller than my 41.5mm Seamaster Chrono. Maybe due to the height difference. Anyhow I'm glad I went with this instead of the Speedmaster I was looking at. I really like the brushed SS bracelet it comes with too. Very cool. Great watch.
Happy 4th everyone!

I've been trying to research which 2500 movement this might be. C or D? I'm not familiar with the difference. I just bought this the other day from a local AD. Was told it was the last year of the 2500 and aluminum bezel. Any insight is appreciated. I'm speaking of movement, I know the differences from the new 8500.

I believe the big dif is that the D's are three level co-axials and seem to have the better rep. There were also some cosmetic changes on the date wheel.
