What's wrong with this PO ?

Firstly it's a PO Chrono not a PO ;)

Anyway, I'm fairly sure this is the only PO Chrono rep currently available so there ain't much choice if you want one.

Wrong subdial spacing aside (which also means the indices are inaccurate), the dial isn't fantastic quality in terms of printing, also the modified 7750 means sunken datewheel of course, the chrono pushers are too large/protruding, the pearl is off, as is the colour of the chrono second hand (too red).

Consequently, wasn't/isn't a big seller.

The 3, 6 & 9 are all too small. The crown is likely too short (usually are when they leave them unscrewed like that). There really isn't much that is accurate, all stemming from it using the wrong movement, but its a nice piece. If I didn't have a couple of POs, I'd probably consider getting one.

Good eye. I like the 2nd gen given that it costs less. I don't mind the wrong position of the date font.

The first one has an incorrect pearl, whereas the second one is about as good as it gets on a rep. Also, the second one has MUCH better sub-dial print, much more correct looking sub-dial hands, better looking 3 and 9 dial markers and as Andreww pointed out, a better date font.

Neither are correct, but IMO the second one is a much better looking piece.

The two main differences I notice are the smaller 3,6,9 fonts, and maybe the pearl. I don't know what's up with the pearl. The bottom one looks like its embedded into the bezel, where as the top one looks like its just attached on top. Looks kinda dumb like that i'm sure.. i guess thats enough for someone to pay a little more to get the better version. As for the dial print, can't notice it unless i have both watches in my hands, but I'll take your advice.. crappy print will make me sad.. :(
