PO 42mm - 2500 vs. 300M
Good day, all.Abqrolexfan posted up pics of his new 300M the other day and I fell in love with the watch - but as a gift for my father. I started looking at the pics of the new 300M in black non-wave dial and really like it, however, the more I looked at it the more I began to wonder if it will be harder for him to read. At age 71, my dad's eyesight is pretty good, but as years move on it may diminish to some extent.So on to the OMega website...Hmmm, the PO 2500 looks like a fantastic option: clearly marked hours, hour & minute hands that are smooth and clean. A very clear and concise layout overall.I guess I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with the heft of the watch or how bulky one may be over the other. Dad doesn't wear a watch, but has been commenting on my Omega ever since I purchased it a few months ago. I know he's gonna love it...he's got an average wrist size and a 41mm vs 42mm won't be much issue. I am thinking the PO may be chunkier than the 300M - would I be

5167 again ...
Well, I guess they say the third time the charm. Ordered another tropical 5167 today for 15% off list. This time I'm keeping. It's an extraordinary piece and with summer here, will be very comfy. I'm done after this. Period !

Any love for the 5980?
I'm looking to switch up from a ROO for my chrono beater and noticed pricing on used 5980's are pretty good for the steel models. I really like the blue dial and the slate dial (almost like this one more because of the black date wheel). Wondering what thoughts on the forum are for this....Back in 2012 I wasn't a fan of this piece and picked up a 15202 and 5712 instead....I just thought it was too fat and thick for a proper Nautilus. But a coworker got one and I'm interested in what the thoughts are on it now that it's no longer in production but really easy to find.

What do you think ??
Just picked this up yesterday. Made a few phone calls and found one just delivered to AD day before. Was told this is not an easy piece to come by these days. AD also gave me an extra discount which never hurts. Overnighted and delivered today.
