·I would get a vintage just to mess with them 😂😉
Found a solution.
Just got home with this.
Story is that I had a 39mm PO Summer Blue that I sold and started thinking I wanted another one. Then the new 4th gen PO was dropped.
I loved the LE liquid metal PO, but wasn't ready to pay the asking. Then after the new 4th gen PO, I became aware of the previous gens, which is how I learned that the third Gen had a 39mm and a ceramic dial like the liquid metal. Plus, with the new PO, these old 39s were disappearing.
As luck would have it, my local watch dealer just took in a 2024 39mm black dialed PO with full kit. So I texted him yesterday and picked it up today.
Still love the Ploprof, but this 39mm PO is more me. Not everyone likes shiney dials but I love them. I already knew how the 39mm fits my wrist so knew it would drap over it. I like the single barrel of the 8800 over the 8900 double barrel, but that might not be a big deal.
This thing is gorgeous to my eye. I like it so much better than my short fling with the Submariner 16800. Not even close.
(It's wierd to have a central second hand though. So used to the Speedmaster chronograph hand that doesn't normally move.)
