Bought a gen insert from this steve guy some time ago. Sent the insert to bk and bk said it was fake!! That steve guy, of course denied it. Hate that guy

So the t19 crystal will fit with no problems? @tghodin, Nice watch!! I love the snowflake tudor. Did you get an eta or asian movement from josh? If you bought the asian one, did you have problems fitting in the eta 2836?

Yes, you are missing some words on the dial

thanks for replying watcher. Check cousins. They have it in stock now! The part # should be 298ZW2981 for the 42mm

nice build watcher! Did you have problems fitting the gen crystal? Mine didn't fit with the rep crystal gasket - 5th gen PO.

Here they are. The timefactors strap (20mm) with a 42mm 5th gen PO with GEN Dial, GEN Bezel, and GEN He Valve. Lume shot

I have that strap!!! Bought from timefactors.com I will take pictures later with my PO

You are correct and I am wrong. It's 168.1651 Ok, I will take a picture of the crystals when I get a chance. I have yet to order the gen gasket so this may take a while.

yea the blue hue on the REP crystal is much stronger. To add to that. The part number on r2d4's guide is wrong! Bob Frei responded to me saying that i must order the right gasket for the 168.1551 case. Aargh!

slan9e - damn! You are correct! I ordered the one which r2d4 posted in his guide, not checking if it's for the 45mm! I will confirm this with Ofrei. ryaku, the REP crystal on this 5th GEN is nice. There isn't much of a difference with the GEN crystal, I will try to take comparison pictures soon.

Thanks guys No news on the crystal yet. My GEN gasket has yet to arrive. It will probably reach me mid-March.

Some more shots... with natural lighting (as opposed to the artificial lighting on the previous shots) Still without the GEN hands and un-modded He tube.. GEN Parts installed: Dial Bezel He Valve Lume shot - lume on the rep hands don't match the GEN

If nobody replies, you can buy one There's a GEN for sale is WUS for $139.. not sure if it's still available. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f425/fs-omega-planet-ocean-42mm-bezel-%24139-obo-484117.html You have a 42mm right?

Same here ryaku.. mine isn't seated flush with the case as well. Will have it modded by my watchsmith when I get the GEN hands. You can see it in this pic

ryaku, My modder installed the GEN bezel installed in like a minute. It's pretty easy. Plug and play

hmmm looks like the 4th and 5th gen have different cases

My GEN crystal doesn't fit. It went right through. According to my watch modder - i need the GEN crystal gasket for the GEN crystal to fit. Is this true or am i wasting my money? any experience modders?

Ryaku, it's ok. My modder said the He valve is an easy fix. The crystal isn't though- really have to get a gasket. ciborgman, dealer is Mary - watchesinternational

Finally received the GEN parts and installed them... but ran into some problems!! Crystal doesn't fit! It went right thru- It probably needs a GEN crystal gasket.. is this the one i need? The GEN He tube will not go thru all the way - the He Valve doesn't sit flush with the case - will have to mod this later Take a look at the pix - with GEN dial, GEN bezel and GEN He valve - take note of the REP hands- they match the dial lume color!! GEN hands and crown have yet to arrive. ( Sorry for the hazy pix, this was a quick shoot )

Thank You Segoy! I had a GEN SMP insert lying around, so I decided to transplant the pearl to the PO! results! Datewheel is white. You can see it from this angle

plaifender.... uhmmmm NO! LOL! Ruma, it's from an ebay US seller. Not GEN. The GEN is rubber, this is leather. Costs $57.50 Here > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110627148168&var=410016151599&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_6168wt_905

good to know that the datewheel is fine!

watchpart.co.uk is out of black datewheels.. where can i get one?

Good day to everyone. After lurking for quite some time, let me post this. This is my 1st REP Omega acquisition but my nth rep acquisition. I would like to share the pictures of my recently purchased 5th gen Planet Ocean with ETA (supposedly) movement from Mary of watches international. No mods yet, except for the leather strap which I bought from ebay. I already ordered a GEN dial, bezel, helium valve and crystal from Ofrei and they are en route to me. Cost me a whopping $720 including shipping! I will update this thread once I have succeeded in modding the watch (actually my watchmaker will be modding the watch) I know that the dial font isn't pure white, i know that the 9 indice has the wrong size, i know that the pearl is hideously largem the helium valve is bigger than GEN, the lume is on the greener side but let me say this - the whole is better that the sum of it's parts! The watch is amazing! I was stunned when I received this. The pictures don't do the watch justice. I own a BK WM9 V2 and this PO is just amazing. On to the pix! Looks like the pearl isn't centered.. but it is. This isn't a straight on shot. Showing off the bluish AR tint. The AR on this watch is amazing! Hope you all like the pictures! Shots were taken with a D90 and 35mm Nikon lens.

Is the lume on the GEN 42mm whiter than the 45.5mm? I have held the GEN 45.5 a couple of time already and the lume under sunlight is a little greenish.
