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.
Thanks Brice!!...hey, congrats on that Hagar arrival and glad to hear that you are happy with the build quality given the very economical price of entry! Looks great on that 'heavy' weave Nato!!!
There's been some media traffic on Omega's new Liquid Metal. It's a great blend of space age materials and a step up on the movement.
Would anybody on 3T have any views on this very promising unit from Omega?
Regarding the PO...I have never tried it, but would still say that the PO XL is definitely still on my wish list for sure. My opinion...there is definitely room for BOTH, as I find the PO and 2254.50 very different in look. I still think that the 2254.50 is one of those amazing/classic pieces that just never will go out of style...it's timeless IMO, and a piece that I could definitely see passing down to my son. As you already know, the 2254.50 can play dressed-up or dressed-down and can pull of sporty too and looks great on the bracelet or the omega rubber strap.
The PO is just a more polished and dressy piece IMO (everything from the raised, placed indices, to the hands style, to the case/bezel design complete with a much more modern bezel/dial font)...I have seen many pics of it on the omega rubber where it seems to be able to play the "sport" side pretty well, but since I've never seen one in person, I can only base my opinion and perception on the pics I've seen.
Because of the many differences, I think Both could play well in a collection.
Why don't you try one first, and let me know what you think amigo???!!!
