TWO diferent worlds
the PO is a real knockaround true everyday watch that you can really 'live in', as nice as it is.
The GO SE is a fancy watch, extremely bulky and heavy and THICK, more on the art-side than the sport side, and a tank of a watch--amazing detail and quality through and through, but not a real everyday, wear it and wear it watch--it's a watch that ends up being part of a rotation of watches...
I separate my watches into the 'truly for wearing' watches and the 'pure head trip' watches and I put the GO into the head trip category.
BUT! I have not one negative word against the GO. I'd much rather own it than the PO. But I'd rather own the PO if I wanted an everyday wearing watch. The GO is way to bulky and tank-like to live in, IMHO.
Provocative Posting - Trade a 45 mm PO for GO SE?
I'm posting this on the Omega site in the sincere (and friendly) hope that I get as biased an audience of readers (pro-Omega, that is....) to read and respond (LOL). I have owned Omegas for years and currently own a 45 mm PO Coaxial Chronometer (latest it...

I won't disagree with your characterization of the GO SE as "art" and how you treat it. But I've owned and worn both watches, for an extended period of time. I can tell you, unequivocally, that the PO outweighs the GO and, due to its 45 mm case, is bigger...
Do you still own them both?
Curious because you use the past tense. How much rotation did they get? I've found myself attracted to a watch, spent the money, and then discovered that I liked the idea of owning it more than wearing it.
How Long
I've continuously owned Omega Seamasters for 15 years and have had the current PO for over a year. I've owned Glashuttes for the past two years and owned the SE for about six months. I wore both continuously. I traded-in the SE to get my current G.O. Navi...
