cos omega wanted to promote it rather than the SMP?
the smallest PO bond wears is a regular 42mm.
its not so much the width, but the thickness and added weight.
the 8500 PO is basically16mm thick, 2mm thicker than the older one...and u will feel and see it once its on ur wrist.
if i wanted one with 8500 movement, for sure it'll be the AT.

In the meantime... still lusting for the modern snowflake.

HK is still a doorway to China market ma. Besides, so many China tourist come to HK to buy luxury goods.

If chinese spend on luxury goods in China, got luxury tax, so they go to HK to spend.
HK has always been a top consumer of luxury goods be it designer bags or high end watches.

funny how ppl use the term desk diving...and loath dive watches.
then they go wear aviation watches...but cant fly a plane for nuts or never been to the moon and back.
or wear chronographs, but the only thing they time is how fast it takes for the pizza to arrive.

True that.. so what then will be the ultimate watch that'll take the rigours of typing emails, long meetings and the odd trip to the washroom?

And look the part smile.gif

My apologies in advance but I just can't shake the image of that iconic titanic + steamy glass scene off my head looking at your pic.
