Excellent selection for Father's day. Love both watches and that 2254 is just amazingly versatile. Have you tried the PO? I am tempted by the XL version black bezel but am wondering if I'd like it better than the 2254 and end up dumping it.
Well Brice, the SM has a mvt 1120 and the PO has a 2500 who is a 1120 with co-axial escapement upgrade and also 4 jewels added.
From outside look, they look the same except that the 1120 has an index(typical ETA design) on it's balance-cock and the 2500 doesn't...
The 2500 also has regulating stud-screws on it's balance and the 1120 doesn't.
All in all, the 2500 is a very advanced 1120 and also need less oil/service due to it's co-axial escapment: I would go for the 2500 in front of a 1120 without any doubt.
But if you prefer the SM look: It's out in co-axial version now
PS: I got both mvt at home and can give you pics if you need...
