What a great understated piece. I love the white dial!

BTW- How does the GMT function work? I am confused on how to set the 2nd time zone.
Wow....you have the patience to wait 1.5 years?

I only waited 1.5 months and couldn't take it anymore.

Great watch, and enjoy buddy.

Now, I am looking at the hulk and Hope I can wait till end of the year!

The Seamaster C is a lovely watch (I prefer it to the PO 8500) but you now have, imo, a much nicer one.
Congrats.

Picked mine up just last week it's a great watch

Nice pick up; congratulations.

I think the Polar stands out among a sea of black dial sports watches.

Moreover, I still can't get used to the different color blacks used to create a not so ghosty ghost hand on the black dial 42mm models.

You picked one of the best. I had to have it as soon as it was released. Traded in my 40mm version which I loved. Have never looked back. Congrats

One of my fav models. Much better in the wild than at the dealer, so can be a tough decision for those on the fence. Congrats!

I really liked the seamaster pro, but don't miss it after 3 days. Actually I have the PO2500 orange bezel and won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.

I preferred Omega when Rolex had non solid links, and even when they had solid links but "tuna can" clasps, but since those days are over there is no comparison, still have the SM 300m blue automatic, haven't put it once since I got my first Rolex, a sub C, almost 3 years ago...

You can't take your bank account to the grave but you can get buried with your Rolexes.
