Okay Ladies & gentlemen,
The review you've all been waiting for ... not really but what the hell
This is Andrew's 4th generation black PO (without the so called Omega symbol modification). I have had this watch for about 3 weeks now but I just didn't had the time to shoot some pics and do a review.
First of all I would like to say that Andrew was a pleasure to deal with. Prompt replies and fast delivery! All together I think it took 3 weeks before the watch got deliverd due to the large demand and a delay in shipment.
When the watch arrived it was safely packed in bubblewrap.
Here we go....
Overall looks are great. The crystal has a slight blueish AR coating which is hard to photograph. The PO feels and wears great!!
Overall finish is good. Smooth bracelet.
Nice solid case back. Too bad the 'Planet Ocean' is etched and not engraved. The P and O are capitals (like gen) so that's pretty nice!
Bracelet is attached perfectly to the case with the numbers engraved on the end link.
Deep clasp engravement with the correct 'Planet Ocean' font.
Numbers and logo engraved on the inside of the clasp fold.
Inside clasp has a poor finish.
Perfect working divers extension.
Correct HE valve placement IMHO and nice bezel edge.
Pearl is sticking out too far but not really noticeable.
Omega logo position acceptable. At least it isn't touching the Omega word. It could have been a tad higher though.
Omega logo on crown. The crown easily screws on and off, smooth hand winding.
Too large gap between the end link and the bracelet but it doesn't bother me because when wearing the watch it's hardly noticeable
The pretty nickel plated ETA 2824 with the crappy plastic movement holder....
My Photo set-up ( shoe box and Armani under wear box)
Conclusion: For the price it's a very nice and descent watch. It keeps perfect time(+5 secs/day) and it looks and feels great. Sure there are some small quality and finishing issues but it is and stays a replica..,
Defenately one of the best reps at the moment!!
