DIVER or EXTRA THIN?
Which would you prefer?Am I mistaken when I say the diver retails for 19k and the stainless steel extra thin (JUMBO) retails for about 22k? Or is there a larger price difference?

Some more PO 8500 Shots
Sorry for the quality and the poor color temp - I was just firing these off in response to a few questions I got.The mesh bracelet is OEM, like others have mentioned. I shot a couple close-ups of the hallmarks.The crown and He valve are really nicely done on this version. I prefer them to the ones on my 2500.My favorite design improvement on this watch versus the older versions is the design of the bezel. The thinner light band closest to the sapphire is much more proportionate than the previous version. I am also partial to the matte, lighter gray of this one as well. Looking back at the older version, it looks (at least to me) to be a cheap version. It almost looks like a knock off. I like the new one much better. Some may agree, some may not.I also got a couple other items from the boutique, but they are a few days behind me. I bought some other things and decided to ship some unnecessary items home via FedEx. The other swag includes Omega/PGA hats and a very nice white and rose gol

Speedtona
After 13 years of Daytona ownership, I was recently bitten by the Speedy Pro while on vacation. The biggest positive for the Omega over the Rolex (other than price)? One word: LEGIBILITY. The Daytona's highly polished hands and tachymeter bezel are terrible for low light situations they basically turn black and disappear without reorienting the viewing angle.As this picture shows - I've always been a sucker for a balanced subdial layout. The Bucherer dates from about 1974 and I wore it from high school through college.

New watch. How tight should the bracelet fit on wrist?
If it is too loose will the movement cause streching?
