We'll it has been three months and Andrew still says the watch hasn't arrived. I need some advice, I will NOT buy another watch from Andrew. Out of five, three had issues. One DOA, one (Planet Ocean Ceramic) was plagued with problems from the get go, and a SMP that died after a year(and about 10 weekends of wear). These were all $300+ each. I am looking for another dealer. I am just frustrated with Andrew. I shipped it exactly like he said and now I am SOL. Please let me know who you would recommend to buy one from... Thanks

This was the only one he had left. He sold a Tag Heuer Carrera also, but not sure what he sold it for...

Thanks guys... It has been many years since I had an authentic Seamaster on my wrist.

I just had bought a Chase-Durer UDT 1000 and he knew my PO replica was probably lost. I just love the Omega style. He moved up to a Rolex Submariner. I was already offered double my money. He wore it once every few months. Then finally got to where it sat in his safe. He recently had the battery replaced (November). It was changed at a Rolex dealership and pressure tested. It passed with flying colors. He couldn't find the boxes but had all paperwork and warranty card. He bought it years ago in the Netherlands at the airport at Gasson Schiphol. I have always loved that watch.. It was nice to be able to buy it.

I just bought this watch today. I got fed up waiting on a replica to get back to China (there for repairs). It had been 3 months and they still have not contacted me, so I guess I am just out $400 or so. Anyways here is my 38mm Seamaster Professional. It is a 1995 model, and authentic. I bought it off of a friend for $250.

Thank you

Nobody knows of a seller that does the PO Cr., I just don't want to deal with Andrew again.. Please anyone else..

I ordered a Planet Ocean Ceramic from Andrew 1 year ago. It broke on the 10 month mark, after numerous problems. I emailed him , he agreed to fix it. I air mailed it via Priority Air mail over a month ago. The watch is now lost. The tracking has it leaving Miami over a month ago. They told me HE has to file a claim, so I am out another $400 counting shipping both ways.This is the second watch I have received from Andrew in 3 years that died. The first was a Seamaster Chrono. It was DOA. My question is who else sells a good PO replica? I do not want to deal with the same supplier. The problems I have had has left a bad taste in my mouth... Any recommendations?

I ended up sending it back to Andrew. He agreed to fix it.

Andrew just asked me to send it back, they will take care of it. I shipped it back to him.

Thank you.. I am waiting to join now..

I was told that Rex was a good watch smith. The watch is 10 months old. It is a Omega 45mm PO Ceramic, I got it from Andrew. I just cannot wait months to get it back as my wife and I are hoping to move in three months. I am in the US and am looking for a watch smith or repairman in the states. Please PM me. I would really like to call the person and explain what is going on. Thank Chad

So I hear great things about a guy named Rex. Can anyone point me in the right direction getting in touch with him?

I need to contact Rex then. I honestly don't have the time to wait on Andrew. If we move it would be a disaster trying to get it back. I checked we didn't receive the watches until March so actually we had the 10 months. Almost to the day... So now the question, who is Rex and how do I get in touch with him?

It is an Omega replica from Andrew it has a 2824-2 Swiss ETA.. here is a link to the topic... http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/166242-omega-planet-ocean-ceramic-replica-broken/

Anyone in the US that can work on it? Andrew isn't really giving the answers I like. I don't want months for a turn around time because my wife and I are planning on moving to Nevada in April. If anyone can fix this please let me know. After shaking it to try to wind it it released the crown and it spins freely and then catches. The gears are moving on the back, except the one that is gold and moves back and fourth to work the second hand. Please PM me your info, I'd like to call and explain what it does better. I will be happy to PayPal for fixing.

I have contacted Andrew. To be honest I am not comfortable messing with it. If it were an LS1 engine or Small or Big Block Chevy that would be a different story. I used to have toys, but not for a while...

I went to wind the watch today and it felt like it bound up. It has always had a "gritty" feel. It has the 2824-2 Swiss movement. I wouldn't force the crown. I tried to keniticly wind it and it belt like it freed the crown so I screwed it in and it just hasn't worked since. Any ideas? I contacted Andrew. I have had it 11months. I wear it every weekend or so and that is it.

Motoman83, I have little girly wrists...lol. I had to remove 4 links for it to fit me. Bubbleboy, you have nothing to fear from Andrew. He is a joy to deal with and fast for shipping.

Muaitai, yes it says ADJUSTE DTO FIYE. Sgtguk, yes that is truly the finish on the bezel. I love it. The last set of photos were taken with natural sunlight and mirror the exact look of the watch in person. Trust me, even with it's flaws, it is a great rep. I cannot say enough about it.

Here are a couple more photos. I just cannot quit taking photos of it....lol.

This watch really surprised me. You will love it SSTEEL. I am now considering ordering a "Titanium" version.

After a couple of weeks of debate I ordered another Omega Rep. This time I ordered a Planet Ocean Ceramic 45.5mm from Trusty Time. I could not be happier. I know that some find issues with the AR (not as bad as I figured)and the "Liquidmetal" engraving. I can personally overlook it. Andrews QC photos were spot on and delivery time was super fast to the US. If anyone is on the fence about this rep., do yourself a favor and order it. We now have 5 Omegas in our house (4 reps and one original). The PO is quickly becoming my favorite.

Here is my everyday driver. Luckily I usually only put 50 miles on it a week.

Awesome, my wife just ordered me the Ceramic PO with the orange numbers and her the ladies PO. We are excited. Can't wait to see the QC photos and hopefully be wearing them soon.
