leather on a PO go or no go :)

[deniz21]

hi guys yesterday i bougt a black UPO, and im thinking now to order a leather strap maybe black for it, but i dont know wich one would look real cool on it, or shud i buy a black rubber for it? is a omega clasp a must have when i wear it with leather

This is my 42mm PO with black leather orange stitch. Best I can do to help.

[MasterOfPuppets]

a 42mm PO looks much better with leather than a 45mm one

I think rubber would be a better choice since the watch is too bulky for a leather strap

[deniz21]

nice pics can i ask you, is your omega buckle gen or a rep?

one month ago i tried a po chrono with orange leather at a dealer and inmo it looked very cool size from watch with leather

I prefer leather, I think It gives the watch a classier look Imho. I have Breitling SA on a brown croc strap, drop dead gorgeous. I dont think the size will be a Issue,at least thats what I told my girlfriend. Imo rubber takes the watch down a notch. Im not a big fan of rubber so thats JMO, good luck with your decision. Mike

It's a 42mm POrikka, the ~$100 Planet Ocean from Narikaa. They come on bracelet, but the strap and deployant are from him as well.

My first rep was the PO crono (orange bezel) 42mm. I screwed the bracelet up by trying to remove the links from the lugs instead of the clasp, I know I know what can I say. I was new and knew nothing about sizing bracelets. Well the bracelet was ruined so I put the watch on a black leather strap that I found on the Bay for $30.00, not a bad strap at all for $$. The spring bars from the po work just fine for the swap. Taking the bracelet off the po was a huge "pita" and I dont mean that greek pocket bread . Im not kidding about removing the bracelet, It Is a bear. No problem using the spring bars for the change over Mike

I would say the PO is one of the most versatile watches around, and I love them, hence owning more than I have had hot dinners They look great on leather, rubber or bracelet in my opinion;

On rubber;

On Leather again

and on the bracelet

I know It's a personal thing but I love the PO on the bracelet. Something about that SS bracelet that I cant resist, nice pics, thanks

[deniz21]

yes realy nice pics, and for me the bracelet is the best way, but the leather looks also great mor elegant i think, maybe to a casual look:)

[AllergyDoc]

The PO is very versatile, IMO. More so than a Sub, which can be worn on a NATO, and maybe leather, but never on rubber.

Here is my PO on Hirsch Leonardo with curved ends

[deniz21]

thats a nice watch nineteenseventysix matches realy good with the watch and hirsch is always quality

tastes are very different but for me personaly i dont like the rubber too on the po, but hey you never know maybe if i had seen it life would say something differnt but on the pics i think so too, on a sinn or something of course but i dont like them on the breitling or omegas, there for i prefer leather or ss

[numptyj]

bought the leather strap narikaa was selling a while ago and put it onto my 45mm PO

At first I was a bit dubious but its growing on me, like others have said in this thread its defo a very versatile watch, im just waiting on response now from VAC as I want to get it lumed up!
