Happy Father's day all! My Father's day watch landed yesterday and I was patient, waited until today to open the box and wear it :-) Loving this Hager Commando, affordable but very well made, I am very pleased!   |

Happy Father's Day 3T!!!....and Jeff - Happy 15th Birthday to your daughter...enjoy the celebration! Awesome pieces today guys, and I certainly must bow to Jeff's Patek today, but I started with the 'do it all' 2254.50 for Father's Day brunch activities this morning and it also served time yesterday attending a wedding.  Making a Father's Day afternoon switch to the Anonimo Militare...  |

Chris Excellent selection for Father's day. Love both watches and that 2254 is just amazingly versatile. Have you tried the PO? I am tempted by the XL version black bezel but am wondering if I'd like it better than the 2254 and end up dumping it. |

Jeep99dad wrote:Chris Well Brice, the SM has a mvt 1120 and the PO has a 2500 who is a 1120 with co-axial escapement upgrade and also 4 jewels added. From outside look, they look the same except that the 1120 has an index(typical ETA design) on it's balance-cock and the 2500 doesn't... The 2500 also has regulating stud-screws on it's balance and the 1120 doesn't. All in all, the 2500 is a very advanced 1120 and also need less oil/service due to it's co-axial escapment: I would go for the 2500 in front of a 1120 without any doubt. But if you prefer the SM look: It's out in co-axial version now PS: I got both mvt at home and can give you pics if you need... |

Jeep99dad wrote: Chris Thanks Brice!!  ...hey, congrats on that Hagar arrival and glad to hear that you are happy with the build quality given the very economical price of entry! Looks great on that 'heavy' weave Nato!!!Regarding the PO...I have never tried it, but would still say that the PO XL is definitely still on my wish list for sure. My opinion...there is definitely room for BOTH, as I find the PO and 2254.50 very different in look. I still think that the 2254.50 is one of those amazing/classic pieces that just never will go out of style...it's timeless IMO, and a piece that I could definitely see passing down to my son. As you already know, the 2254.50 can play dressed-up or dressed-down and can pull of sporty too and looks great on the bracelet or the omega rubber strap. The PO is just a more polished and dressy piece IMO (everything from the raised, placed indices, to the hands style, to the case/bezel design complete with a much more modern bezel/dial font)...I have seen many pics of it on the omega rubber where it seems to be able to play the "sport" side pretty well, but since I've never seen one in person, I can only base my opinion and perception on the pics I've seen. Because of the many differences, I think Both could play well in a collection. Why don't you try one first, and let me know what you think amigo???!!! |

William and Chris, thanks for the kind words on my watch. Chris, it's so hard to keep up with today's 15 year old daughters....they're a whirlwind of activity, music and shopping /size] Afternoon switch to the Sub in 2 tone for the afternoon trip to the fish market for the dinner barbie.  |

Thanks guys!! The hager case is much nicer than I expected and it winds very smooth. Factory tested WR on the case then again after mvt was installed. Watch was regulated and Pete tested WR timing again before shipping. Chris and Will, thank you for your input on the PO. I'm very tempted! :-) |

Jeep99dad wrote: Chris I know you didn't ask me but I've never been bashful about giving my opinion... I've had the PO on and for some reason there was something missing... it just left me flat... didn't give me butterflies. Hard to put it into words but it didn't grab me by the short and curlies. Now that's just me and my personal opinion. I'm not sure what it is but I still refer the classic styled Seamasters. I could be wrong but I don't know there is a co-axial equivalent of the 2254.50...yet. |

I need to find the nearest AD I guess to try it on. Maybe I'll take the 2254 with me for comparison too I'm afraid to pull the trigger then it doesnt wow me as much I'd expect it. I also heard of mvt problems with some earlier models I guess. |
