Tried this and a 42mm PO on this weekend.
On this watch: love everything except the lume. The problem with the lume, for me, is that it's trying to look vintage and is completely perfectly even.
Let me put it another way: I just made a distressed kick panel for under my breakfast bar out of cedar TG planks, milk paint, hemp oil, and sanding it. If I PERFECTLY DISTRESSED every piece to look identical, it would look like crap. The act of carefully distressing each piece in it's own way creates the right look.
By comparison the seamaster 300m is not distressed. It's just yellow lume, which doesn't look good for any length of time.
On the PO: I've got a 7" wrist and I've wanted to love the blue PO on blue rubber strap. It's gorgeous. I want to own it. I've tried it on twice and it fits like crap. The watch is simply too tall and doesn't hug the wrist at all. Tons of people love it, not for me.
