Even if the 3135 and 8500 calibers are the same height, the 600m WR of the PO will inevitably result in a thicker, bulkier case construction. What Omega has to do (IMHO) is take a step back in WR. There's no need to use 600m, half of it is more than enough. It's clear why they use 600m, but it still doesn't make much sense, it's only a silly number.
