Readers would know that I planned to get the 42mm Planet Ocean 8500 (Skyfall) to replace the 42mm Planet Ocean 2500 (Casino Royale) that was flipped. I missed the PO real soon after it was flipped.
So I stopped by an Omega AD during my flight transits; and while trying the 42mm PO (Skyfall) and 43.5mm PO GMT, I also chanced upon the 45.5mm PO Chrono. I believed that I have helped a fellow reader purchased this same model some years back, as the AD was giving me a good deal then. I shared Monochrome's write-up on this piece @ http://andywristwatches.blogspot.my/2013/04/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-455mm-aka.html back in 2013.
Fast forward a couple of years now, and Omega had very stringent discount controls and MYR was at a relatively higher-depreciated position compared to yesteryears, so Omega watches were more expensive these days.

There were a couple of PO Chrono available in the AD, with the rubber strap version slightly cheaper (USD8,100) compared to the stainless steel bracelet version (USD8,200); as per the following :
I decided to sleep over it, as I was unsure if I could carry the relatively bigger and bulkier PO Chrono on my wrist. I had more confidence with a bigger piece these days having added the 47mm Submersible 2500 and 45mm Space Orbital II into my collection; but both these pieces were made from titanium hence their lighter weight. The PO Chrono was a stainless steel piece, so it would inevitably be heavier.
The next BIG piece, should I?
