PO & orange croco

I earlier asked about pics of orange PO with original orange strap. Here're some found from WatchUseek forums, just liked to share those to you as well.

These are not my photos, unfortunately I cannot remember the original author. But all (c) to him, and if you spot these disagreeing my post, please inform and I'll remove it.

Quite an intresting combo!

Great pics, Clogz. The ONLY person on this forum who will find those pics repulsive and probably get an ulcer is Ed (Rockrolex).

But I wouldn't worry too much on that score. After his recent sightings of me in my shorts and singlet, he'll be able to stomach just about any damn thing!!!

I like the PO more and more, but the only turn off for me are the broad-arrow style hands.

Great photos of a fine looking watch (sorry, Ed - I don't suffer from Orange-itis)!!

I might not go with that strap personally, but hey! I'm not wearing the watch! Enjoy!!!

I managed to find the original post, owner of this watch is XTrooper @watchuseek.

This is the XL version of PO.

REMOVE THAT UGLY POST AT ONCE CLOGZ. IT'S A DISGRACE TO ALL RIGHT THINKING LAW ABIDING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. STEALING A COPYRIGHTED WORK. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? SHAME ON YOU!!!

Because I freely mentioned the original photographer and never stated these as my photos, I have to think this flame is because of watch's color

While the PO's are nice watches, they really do nothing for me. I personally wouldn't wear one

Well Ed, I think something totally different is going on here. You secretly love that watch! Was man neckt, das liebt man. Yes, that must be it, the louder you scream, the bigger your love!

No, and I am totally amazed that you even used ORANGE text in your post, Ed!
