    hi everyone, I'm looking for a super ocean and have found this one from Andrew 

    http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_144&products_id=10421

    has anyone bought one? I have watched his video but it's from 2013 so I was wondering if these are out of date models. He doesn't list any others on his site. I really like the blue second hand and super ocean in blue. 

    I bougth a Omega planet ocean early on this year, it's a nice watch very pleased with it. 

    Or has anyone got one for sale in the UK?

    thanks

    Mad badger. After seeing the back of yours I can see its a BP version. BP has "barrel 1 and barrel 2". Printed on the movement . Noob doesn't.

    Re the Miota version. It's cheap for a reason. Low BPH and cheat movement that stutters.

    Moneybags, I believe the 6 and 9 are open on 1990s POs and closed on the 2000s POs. Noob has it right :)

    someone sent me this website http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1363

     

     

    and this looks like the back of my watch and it says Noob Best Edition.......

    I have no idea what version the watch is, It did say it was a ETA movement,  it looks pretty good against photos of genuine OCP's. My other omega reps just have a blob where the pearl is located, this one looks like the pearls fitted to the genuine models. Mine has just got omega and the icon and the oval shaped release buttons on the clasp just like the new models. However the one i ordered on Andrews website looks like it has the ceramic bezel, as on the pictures that i looked at, it said liquid metal technologies. I did ask him about this and he just replied 'its the latest version'

     

     

    I bought a 007 Sky Fall ocean planet about 5 months ago, that looks like it has a ceramic bezel but the only thing that lets it down is the blob for a pearl and under the 007 engraving on the clasp, it says  TM Danjag.......or something like that. Im not sure of the movement, but the second hand doesn't sweep as nice as this new on i have.

    yea too right, I've just had a reply from Andrew after i told him what the problem was, he just said 'well done'.......LOL thats not what i wanted to hear, maybe

     

    'hi Kev, sorry about that, heres £50 back for your trouble' or 'sorry about that, i will send you a replacement part'

     

    If anyone on here has any contacts that have better reps, i know a few guys and me would be interested. Id like to get the wife a nice rep for her birthday but i don't want to have to take it apart!!!!!

    Hello everybody, I'm a recently joined member, like everyone on here, i love watches.....

     

     

    I have several replica Omegas and the latest one i have purchased was from Andrew at Trusty Watches. I bought a Ocean Planet Orange Bezel 45mm which i think looks very much like the real thing. The reason for buying? i had a look at a real Omega ocean planet and to be honest, i wasn't impressed. I honestly don't think they are worth paying £3800!! so i opt for this rep.

     

    After i ordered the watch, i did find a few comments on line about the quality and Andrew as an individual. Some said "yea good watch, nice guy" others said he was a wrong un!!!!

     

    It took nearly 3 weeks for my watch to turn up, and upon opening it, i find a small scratch on the bezel and the auto counter balance didn't spin 360 degrees. I contacted Andrew with my concerns and i feel as if i was palmed off a bit. He sent the quality control photos through as he does, but he obviously didn't check the counterbalance to see if it was ok. Oh by the way, it has a see through back (which i quite like) 

     

    He told me to allow the watch to "bed in' but after looking with a powerful magnifying glass, i could see a part of the counterbalance wasn't fitted properly and it was catching the lower casing so it wouldn't spin 360.

     

    I sent him some photos (taken with my macro lens) which clearly shown the problem. I asked if i could send it back, but he instructed me to take the back off and slacken the screw holding the counterbalance, he said it was probably to tight. 

     

    As soon as i got the back off, it was obvious that the part was catching the lower casing. I managed to remove the counterbalance and with a pin head, i applied a spot of cyno glue to the gap and held it together. Once re-assembled it spins as it should do.

     

    The reason for this post is not to complain, but rather show concern that some of these reps and their sellers don't really come with any sort of backup or guarantee. I would have been happy to post it back to him in China, but i got the feeling that he didn't want that. Lets face it, i could have damaged it taking it apart, its a risk i took, but i am quite mechanically minded.

     

    heres a picture of the part at fault
