If you see Kay

the angle and location of the HE valve gives it away

I agree with the Chief here. With validated papers AND recently documented servicing, I'd go tops $1500. I've been watching several paperless 6694's for 1300, some as low as $900.

$1500 tops. Should be able to get it for less.

I don't quite agree that they are quite boys/girls watches. Back in the 60's/70's the watches were all that size, including some current Airking models. The Patek 3919 is 33.45mm and that is definitely not a "boys" model. If we are talking "boys" models, then the 6426 qualifies for that at 29mm. As mentioned, i have this 6426 saved up for my daughter, as it makes a perfect size for a womens's watch, much better than the 23 - 26mm current womens sizes.

maximum - but perfect with box and papers and full lenght original bracelet 1000 Euro -

they usally go 600-800 Euro !

this is a boy/girl size watch and only manual wind ....

cheers,

Frank

i too have been loooking at 6694 and it's dateless counterpart, the 6426 on the bay and TZ. they range quite a bit in price, but I have yet to see one with papers. you can get paperless ones for under a grand, and the one like you show here can go upwards of 2-3k. don't know why there is such a variability in the price. i nearly purchased a 6694 last week, but decided against it. it was 1300 off TZ. no papers.

I am in the process of getting a 6694 rep off Silix instead. I already have a vintage gen 6466. But that one is for my daughter when she grows up to appreciate it.

yes I have read the same.... but it seems like OMEGA has found that 25.200 is more reliable and power reserve certainly is longer..less wear on movement...so maybe it is better with a slower beat?

The old great OMEGA movement with the long lasting famous OMEGA calibres have 19.800 or so beat....

Yes, I have three vintage Omegas, Calibers 562, 601, and 561. These watches are around 45 to 50 years old. One runs at about 3 seconds off per month. (yes, per month!!!!!!) It all depends on how I place it on my nighttable overnight.

21600 vs 28000 beat

Hey, that's my vid The 21,6 movement is the PO from Narikaa, and the 28,8 movement is from Sead

That begs the question... what's the Panerai!?!?

another excuse.........

I measure with a digital caliper from 3 to 9 without crown.

Why don't you think you have the 45.5 PO? Is it 45.6mm

That seller has been trying to sell that for months. I've been watching this for a long time. He's got quite a few vintage rollies for sale every once in a while.

the white 1 is just a reflection from the lights in the photo. All the markers ar e the same material, colour and texture. It happens quite alot in photos with watches that have metal markers.

$180??? No way it'll go for that. I'm not advocating a higher price, but I just don't see a supposedly "new and improved" PO being any cheaper than what is deemed to be the "ultimate" out there right now.

Don't see why is should cost $450+ either. The Seawolf is a extremely high quality tank of a rep, with 5-6mm thick double AR'ed sapphire crystal, and that can be picked up for $350

If it is truly being billed as the super ultimate rep, then it is in the rarified territory of the Ultimate 104 and the super rep Santos 100. Both are ~450.

If it falls short of being an ultimate super rep, then no friggen way I'd pay that much. In fact, I'd even balk at paying anything over $400

collosal FAIL!!!!!!!!

I tried one on at the local Omega boutique. THis rep misses the mark TOTALLY

btw the LM PO was going for $5,800 CDN here

Single AR is fine with me. I could do with the single AR and having flat feet on the Omega logo. That would be great to me. Hopefully it is below $250 including shipping like the previous one was.

Below $250??? Not a chance. Below $450, maybe. Even Sead's PO which is considered

widely to be the best one out there at the moment, was going for $320. I don't want to artificially "inflate" the price for the dealers by mentioning that, but the fact is, if it is going to be an improvement over Sead's, then it's gotta be more than $320.

Someone was talking to Josh and he said that the PO won't be ready till June. Also Josh said that it has only single AR, but a "better" version than the earlier versions, making it comparable to the gen, which has double AR

To me, this has got to be one of the biggest tells. Even more so than the happy feet.

Modding a Sead PO with a new gen dial and AR will set you back well over $300. Add gen hands, then we are talking to the roof when all is done.

Sead's PO does in fact have the happy feet and a less than passable AR compared to the gen.

I have the black bezel orange numbers version and I think that is the best combo, especially with Narikaa's leather strap that has orange stitching on it.

any update from the OP? I'll buy it if there are marked improvements over the latest and best rep out there (Sead). I have Sead's right now. I had Narikaa's before.

I hear ya. I just got an ebay watch part and while it looked good on the ebay listing, it is a total piece of shyt when I got it in my hands.

My watch package is somewhere in transit and USPS dot com hasn't even got one entry in it.

Holy macro!!!!

I'd get one. 45mm is a bit big for me.

i want to buy one omega planet ocean 45mm like narikaa!same quality,weight.....and same price 108$.from where?i see watcheden have omega planet ocean but same quality?help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about from Narikaa???

You may want to sell yours before the new one arrives, otherwise yours might drop in value and desirability

yeah, I was wondering about that too. But I need at least some sort of certainty that a new super rep will come out. Cause if it s just a romur tht doesn not pan out I'll be SOL as the PO is my fav. watch.

I figured that nothing new will come out till at least summer time.

Can't wait. I even put away my Sead PO for safe keeping so I can sell it for this new super rep.

yes, it is fixable, I had the same problem with my watch. The spring is available at Ofrei, but you can fix the one you have first. get a needle nose pliers and squeeze the basturd in situ, so the spacing between the spring is tighter.

You can also remove the individual components of the clasp and take out the spring and start squeezing it together with pliers as well.

My eyepiece cup style loupe fogs up sometimes, so I would prefer the headband loupe.
