  1. Wait probably. There is going to be a really good version soon. But it has been "soon" a very long time now! The so called 4th Gen accepts (some?) gen part and seems to be the base for most of the 42 mm projects at the moment! /furu
  2. Thats up to you, if you really want a good Planet Ocean with Swiss ETA. Wait until you're ready to buy a UPO. Or why not the upcoming 42 mm Planet Ocean (that has been upcoming forever...). My experience is that when you buy cheaper reps as substitutes for the ones you really want, that is a waste of money. I don't think there is a offering with this one and ETA, sorry. Surely Swiss ETA is much better than the A21j, especially in the feeling you get when changing the time etcetera. But I've got a perfectly good A21j rep bought from Narikaa/Reg. Keeps good time and works like a charm. And i don't think you will get much more bang for the buck than this deal! So if the Planet Ocean ain't on your list of dream replicas, this is a good rep. If it is the one you will take to work everyday, your beater - save up for a UPO or the new 42 mm version. My beater is the UPO currently on bracelet, but rubber is awesome. Maybe the 240 grams of weight will do some work on my forearms Regards /Furu
  3. Check with Narikaa, you find him in the dealers section! He offers reasonable Planet Ocean's, both the big 45.5 (same as UPO) and the slightly smaller 42 mm versions. His price is
  4. Really nice mate! Good work. Gen movement is never wrong! How about a lume shot?

    Really nice, love em sharks! Especially the "hard to determine" colored one!
  6. I've seen people here combining cameras and loupes. So I had to give it a (cyber)shot! My monster rig: Sony Ericson K810i (3.2MPix) + 5x loupe I think the result is really good considering the equipment! So my dear friends, give it a shot and post your results! /Furu
  7. That looks really good. Anything that makes a watch more comfortable is good stuff. The brushed steel goes very well with the watch as you say
  8. My only A21j keeps time and overall it works well, but still far from the exactness of my ETA's. Sometimes when i screw down the crown the A21j movement is still winding and it will stop after about 20 sec. But with knowledge of that, this is no problem. You've most probably had bad luck! But don't fear, and there's always ETA.
  9. Interesting reading, thanks for the link freddy! /Furu
  10. I can only show you the door.
  11. Wow, all of my replicas seems to be gen! Except for that ticking noise...
  12. Doesn't the Omega logo, on the keeper, look completly wrong??? /Furu
  13. Welcome! Looking for anything special? /Furu
  14. You did not only find a forum. You did find the best forum around. Welcome /Furu
  15. Nice photos and watch! I'd like to hear the story about the lost numerals of the 200-marking. /Furu
  16. Hello fellow student! Welcome to the world of great watches, this forum is fantastic. Good luck with your studies. Don't do like me and browse RWG all day long! /Furu
  17. Isn't the first one a Tag Heuer Carerra. 2nd photo - no idea.
  18. Thanks! I had a lot of misconceptions about the mechanisms! Now the basics are clear. Great video!
  19. UPO for me too. Looking for a old UPO dial, maybe someone in EU who has installed a gen is prepared to part with his?
