Its a great watch
In Response To: 42mm Planet Ocean ()

: I have been recently smitten with the Planet Ocean. Went to my AD
: to check one out and liked what I saw. What can you folks tell
: me about them besides the obvious? I haven't been seeing any
: posts regarding the PO lately. I was apprehensive at first
: because I wasn't sure my wrist size (6.5-75") could handle
: a 42mm watch. But after seeing and wearing one in the flesh, the
: size does not seem to be an issue. Any advice and info is much
: appreciated.

: Thanks, Mark

Mark,
Personally, I feel that the PO is the finest dive watch available for the price. Its built like a tank. The 42mm will be perfect for your wrist. My wrist is smaller than yours and it fits me just fine, so I know you can pull it off no problem. Ive had mine for 3 years now and it keeps time at +/- 1second a day, just phenomenal for a mechanical watch. And it comes with a 3 year warranty, should you have any problems with it. See if you can negotiate a discount with your Ad(20-25% off is pretty good from an AD). If they won't budge on the price send me an email and I can recommend 1 or 2 that will get you a good deal if you don't mind buying over the phone.
