Which PO for me?

[dadem0n]

I'm going to order a PO from narikaa and am having trouble deciding on which way to go.

I have a 7" wrist and can't decide between a 42mm or 45mm?

Also I can't decide between the 3 faces because I want to get a black leather with white or orange stitching and deployment.

Any wrist pics or any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks

This is the 45mm.My wrist is 6.25" only and i wouldnt cahnge t for the 42" for no reason...I love it...Personally talking i dont like the orange at all and the bracelet also.I have seen some people change it for a leather strap and it is looking really nice.Gor the moment i will stay with the rubber one...Good luck with any choice you will make..And dont forget post pics when it arrives...

any of them will fit you ................

It's going to be personal preference. I have an 8" wrist and I like how my 45.5mm PO looks. Friends of mine with smaller wrists have tried it on and IMHO it looked funny. Your best bet is to visit an AD somewhere and try both on. That way you'll know which one you like before ordering. Good luck.

Go pumpkin all the way!!! :bananalama:

No AD around here that I know of so I can't try them on

I'm liking that rubber strap.
I need to see more PO combos on leather and rubber I think.

7" wrist, 42.5mm case:

^^ that does look good!

PAPARAS - Thanks for the pic too. I hate to ask but would you be able to take a quick pic more on the angle that tommy_boy has?

Would let me directly compared the 2 sizes and two of the faces on the same straps

go with the one on the right with 42,5 mm, after a half year you can't see the orange anymore

 

[acharria]

Yesss...

Go PUMPKIN
Nice shot TOMMY B

 

[Mr. Pap]

there you go...

I've been eyeing the one on the far left for a while - that's my pick. I've seen both sizes at the AD, don't have a large wrist, and would stick with the 45.

The one on the right (blk/wht) will go with anything. Although I like the orange you may be limited depending on what you’re wearing that day. The Black with orange stitch is a great color combo. You may want to go with the Black and orange numbers.

Now for size, go with what you’re comfortable with. Take a look at the other watches you have in size. I have a 7.5 wrist and bought the 42.5 from Nakaria but most of my watches are larger in size and this one IMO felt small. I can tell you that the 42.5 felt great and comfortable after I resized the bracelet but I like larger watches.

Good luck.

Thanks so much paparas
That's great!!! It doesn't look too big at all does it.

go with the one on the right with 42,5 mm, after a half year you can't see the orange anymore

Do you mean that the orange wears off?

Go to the AD and try them on.

I got a 45 from Narikaa - nice easy deal & hella value - and have been very pleased (except the other day the bezel bead disappeared - oh well, time for modding, I guess - and I do wear it at work). The 45 does not wear as large as I thought it would - nice strong size (don't know my wrist size - prob. 7"+) and quite comfortable w/SS bracelet. Thought the AR was a bit strong, but looked at gens the other day and it's pretty close.

BTW - before I bought from Reg I had handled a PO at the AD and marveled at the fine overall finish - the super-rep comes damn close at less than 1/20th the price

I think black and white is the classic if you are just building your collection. Black/orange numbers would be versatile also, but I would consider the 'pumpkin' an accent piece for the collection, not a foundation. There's a reason they call it a 'pumpkin' - it DOES stand out.

Just yesterday the AD had a black band on a PO in the window that looked very interesting - looked like black smooth rubber w/white edge stitching styled like a leather strap. I've gotta go back and handle it and check the price - anyone seen/priced one of these? - is it really rubber w/stitching as it looks?? I'm sure it's at least $2-300 but it would be cool to have a gen strap, esp. if it's deployant...

I have owned both.
My wrist is 7" as well
I stuck with the 42.5.

Why.........because I asked at least 10 friends(mostly ladies) and the and the 42.5 won.
Damn.........I wanted to be just like Daniel Craig!

Tru dat. My wife likes the look of my SOSF on me better than my others because they're all big, which I prefer. I guess ladies don't like the current oversize trend, but since I'm married I don't care what they think anymore. :cool2:

Oh..I asked my wife first. Of course, I didn't like her answer. Why is she always right? Maybe AHW knows.

Hi Paparas,

Did that band come with the watch? If not, where did you get it? I just ordered the 45mm PO pumpkin from narikaa. I really like it.

Thanks,
Mike
