G'day folks,
Found this site by accident a few days ago and have spent many an hour reading. I've decided to buy a PO Rep but was wondering if some of you could offer your opinion before I make the sale.
I am thinking of buying this one from TrustyTime:
OMG0007C - Omega Planet Ocean 42mm Black with Rubber Strap
1. I would like a 42mm PO on Rubber
2. I would like to be able to modify the watch with a Gen Dial, Hands, Bezel, Date Wheel, Crystal, HE Button & Crown and Tube.
I don't plan on doing all this at once but it seems to me to be a better way of working towards an actual Gen instead of paying $3500.00 for a used PO. Having said all this, can this watch be Frankened? Is it the best one to start with? Should I buy one with the swiss ETA movement? Am I wrong that you can not Franken the newest 42mm PO Reps? If there are better 42mm PO's to start with, can you please let me know.
I'll keep reading, but in the mean time, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Fantastic Site!!!!
Chris
