42.5mm VS 45mm PO

[VtommyRboy6]

I am trying to decide if I want to get the 42 or 45mm PO. Does anyone have a side by side pic of the two sizes handy? Or maybe a link to a pic? I am wondering if the 45 will be too big.

Thanks and any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Tommy

42.5mm would be a better choice

How come?? Jsut from a quality/accuracy stand point? I also heard that a new gen Po is expected to come out in the next 3-4 weeks.. anyone else hear or know anything about this??

42.5mm, period.

 

[VtommyRboy6]

Ok, give me some reasons.

No, sorry I don't have anymore pics. I sold the 45mm.

To me, the 42mm is a much more solid timepiece. It is heavy.
Cwai has a topic posted somewhere with 4th gen PO mods. He put gen. hands on his and it looks 100%.

I guess another thing to consider is how big your wrist is.

Yeah... I'm with miquel. In accuracy stand, the 42.5mm beats the 45mm (dial, general fit and finish).

BOY, am I glad - I have been toing and froing on the Big PO vs the 2006 42.5 - in the end I decided I liked the look of the black + orange numerals of the 2006, the Omega seemed well placed etc. so just ordered one from PT (in lieu of a PAM MM that was no longer avail.)

I'm not plugged into Omegas like I am w/ PAMs; and now I've read this I'm pleased that I 'lucked in' to picking the 2006 42.5.

cheers, BBB

Ok thanks, I am convinced. 42.5mm it is.

If you have wrist from 6.5"to 7.5" the 42.5 mm is a very very wise choice.

Thanks, yea my wrist is just between 6.5 and 7, so I think the 42.5 will be a better fit.
