Seamaster Planet Ocean.. 8500 vs the 8900..Which would you choose?
Feb 25, 2021,22:04 PM
My favorite watch in my small collection is the PO 8500, I also prefer it over the newer versions as i like the deep black dial and the matte black bezel. The master chronometer in the newer versions though is tempting! The 8900 in the photo is my good friends who also happens to be my boss. The rubber straps are amazing on both watches. Extremely comfortable. There is just something about the Planet Ocean line that i think is so underrated and extremely great value. I also would take over a submariner any day of the week. I know not a popular opinion among this site and WIS in general but that is my opinion.
Interested to hear what the Omega community has to say!

I have the same 93/9900 conundrum....

My best friend has the 9900 with the orange bezel I have the 9300 with the black. I would be ok with the orange if there was no other option but prefer the black unless we are talking flashy orange rubber strap in full sport mode. I wear it on my boat as ...
