I took off 4 links on mine, and it now fits 6.5 inch wrists. I measured each link at about 8mm. So with the 4 links added back on, it would be an additional 32 mm, or 1.25 inches. So a 7.75 inch wrist +/- seems to be the maximum wrist size.

hope that helps.

What size wrist do you have big fella? :wink: I wear mine 7.625" ish and I thought the 45.5 was disproportionate to my tastes. I think about half of the PO fans out there would say the same.

@AGEMOXELOR:
Thanks for the offer, but I don't know how to play around with the watches and it's difficult to find a watchsmith who's willing to touch rep watches here in southasia. :D :D :D

Yeah, the PO is a sweet watch. I had an Schaffer manual winding chrono (it's a PAM ferrari homage) and a rep IWC Portuguese before the PO and I haven't wore those two ever since. Lately, it has been PO on ss on weekdays and PO on rubber strap on weekends. [smilie=alien.gif]

Very Nice!!! I ordered one from Watcheden for myself after your OP. Still waiting, it's been about 3 weeks, so any day now....

So is that a GEN rubber strap? I can't seem to find the PO straps for 20mm except the gen.

I just drank beer with a guy the other day who was wearing a PO like this one.. And it made me think: I need one in my collection :)

Thanks for the pics.

Is that rubber strap the 22mm version? If so, how hard was it to squeeze it into place? I can't find a 20mm version of the rubber PO strap, even on WE's website.
The only ones listed on dealers sites are for the Large PO.

That watch looks great. I've ordered one from WE and am waiting very patiently for it's arrival.

That's a good deal. I wonder how the bezel looks from the side. Seconds hand is too short but sometimes that is kind of minor. I'm not sure if the He valve is in the correct position, kinda hard to tell.

Your f*cking watch is beautiful! Your pictures are phenomenal. I still LOVE my FM PO and the versatility of wearing either the ss band or the rubber strap. Beautiful watch!

The bezel on the 4th gen PO is better, it even clicks more. I still need to get one of them re-lumed though, the lume typically falls off.

got mine from narikaa for less than 100 dollars, with ar and i think saphire

well, why do you "think" it's got saphire?

none of these 42mm POs that are $80-$110 have saphire from what i've heard.
They're all mineral!

hey would it be a good idea to double AR the mineral glass or does double AR work on saphire only?
