It took 3 months....and it was well worth the wait...the wife isn't crazy about it, but I love it

What doesn't she like? I love the PO's. Not a huge fan of those bracelets but overall, beautiful, timeless watch.

Yeah, I love it. I think the PO has enough "old school" about it for that bracelet to work.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I've had the watch for awhile - I just got the bracelet as I ordered it about 3 months ago. The wife isn't crazy about the bracelet - she loves the watch on the original bracelet - but she doesn't like this one.

I agree that the PO seems very "old school" which is why I bought it...and I think the bracelet is very 1960s retro - and you don't see them very often - so I'm really liking it. It's very comfortable.

I'll have to take a pic of the clasp at some point. It's a really solid piece, but admittedly, the clasp is much bigger than I expected....but it's not enough of a deterrent for me to complain.

I'll agree with the wife on this one, but who cares as long as you like it.

Is it an omega bracelet? I like it but it seems to have too much space in the lugs. It might just be the angel of the picture.

It is an Omega bracelet - made specifically for this watch.

Others have mentioned the space between the lugs - but it doesn't bother me...to each his own I guess. I love the retro look the bracelet provides and they're hard to come by right now.

The PO is real future classic IMO, but (sorry Drtymrtini) the only watch I like on mesh is the Ploprof. Personally I'd stick with the original PO bracelet, but as others have said, who cares what we think! As long as you like it that's the main thing.

Thanks for the feedback guys - I'm really surpised that I'm in the minority here

i've still got the original bracelet tucked away nicely in the box, so if I ever get rid of it, the prospective buyer should be happy (and think of how few scratches it will have on it).

Maybe it's not as Bond as I thought

Hold the presses....I really like the vintage look you have going there. I prefer this to the standard bracelet , gap at the lugs and all.

Very nice pick up

I don't dislike it, but I much prefer the original bracelet on it.

I will say that without question it gives it a more vintage feel. Congrats on the pick up...at the end of the day it only matters what you think.

I love the big PO, and miss the one I let go. I love that bracelet on there. Although some turn up their noses at Omega, I for one really love'em, especially with the co-axial movement. Great pick up!

that is one bracelet that will never be on my P.O. They make sevral types of rubber/exotic straps and two bracelets for it that i know and they all look good but this one IMO. But its not my watch and all that matters is you like it. Steve

Just think of Sean Connery every time you put it on. It'll give you that swagger in your step and you'll call the wife "Moneypenny".

hold up , hold up ,
sure your wife and mine are not the same ..
i love it always have liked the old school bands that looks great ....


dam wives stop us from doing so much
