Sorry not a Breitling...but I am pretty happy. Lots of different looks with just a slight change of angle. The face seems to range from almost black to a sort of smoked brown. The strap/clasp is crazy comfortable. Nice change in weight compared to the SF. Seems like I have two nice watches now....how many till I have a "collection"? Thanks for all who gave me some input on this purchase.

Darn, I guess I just have to go buy 5 more :D Is that because my watch says "7" on it? I have always been partial to 13, but will think of lucky 7 now when I check the time.

Nice pick-up, congrats!

I was actually just looking at the PO yesterday at a local AD. They informed me they were losing the Omega brand due to Omega's/Swatch's new distribution model. Another in the area was also losing Omega, that's two ADs gone. That leaves one left in the whole state I believe :x .

Been keeping my eye open for a 42mm PO with the orange arabics on rubber strap.
Enjoy!

Also, the blue Colt looks good - still would like a blue dial diver style myself :) .

Yes the strap is fantastic. I also like the finished look of the new straps around the lugs over the older ones with gaps.

I was about 90% sold on the 2500 movement PO until you started your quest on your blue beauty. I really started to 2nd guess my decision and contimplate the 8500 movement. In the end I did end up with the 2500D movement. Loving it so far.

Very nice pick-ups rplace, love the PO, it's always liked that orange version. The Ling is great, I especially like the guilloche dial, very stunning....Grats on both, enjoy them both and wear them in good health.
