Planet Ocean ...New v Old

[CaptainSlow]

Looking to treat myself to a new PO in the New Year.

Does anyone have any views on how the new 43.5mm (215) compare to the old 45.5mm (232)?

I like the old orange bezelled model but it looks like this hasn't been continued into the new range?

The 43.5mm is the perfect size watch
I looked at many, infact loads, causing much turmoil in the jewelllers at my indecision the 45mm looks too big and bling, I was surprised at the level of variation within models
I settled on the PO Seamaster 600m,
The new style bezel has the orange between 12 & 3, the important thing for me and only finding out after much research was finding a master chronometer mechanism, I didn’t want the chronograph - i have other watches.
I had settled on a 300m initially, fortunately took the time to sit back and ponder thoughts, I’m really glad I did!
Internet pictures don’t show a true picture, I learnt you have to try the watch on, look and feel, it is after all an expensive purchase to get wrong!

Good luck with your purchase!

Great decision they are a great watch. I've had one for over 7 years now and I still love it.

Fantastic watches I have owned three, two 46mm but settled on the 42mm I much prefer the older model being thinner and just a tad lighter. No matter though they are just great sports watches. Here is a pic of mine
