@ fellow SoFloridian, ssabripo: BEAUTIFUL PO! You just made me love the purchase I made, sight practically unseen.

no worries

I'm really liking the 45mm feel, although it is massive. The SMP crono should be here by week's end.

But I really have to get it waterproofed, because these afternoon hurricane-like thunderstorms are KILLING me! Sheeesh, like clockwork.......we even had hail!

Don't have great pics....just a crappy pic for now, but I'm gonna be wearing the Omega uPO for this week, until the SMP crono arrives by the weekend:

Hopefully for next week's poll, I'll be wearing this instead:

well, it's done!!

the SMP crono is on order from Andrew...should be here by week's end! I can't wait to get it!!

good GOD that is beautiful! I was really about to push the "BUY" button on the PO crono, but this thing is seriously making me think twice!

i would also like to know where to get it modded for water resistance! could someone be kind enough to point me to The Zigmeister's contact info, or someone else as well?

thanks

Hey man, you are in the exact same position as me except for me it was between the Omega uPO and the Breitling SFSO. I chose the uPO (although i'm sure I will purchase the later some other time). I live in the US (WA) and I too am having trouble deciding which dealer to get the uPO from, so if you buy it let me know your experience!

I'm going with teh UPO 45mm in Orange.

probably Andrew or Josh.

thanks guys.

all the same! you guys are awesome. Great info here for someone looking for quality watches without the ridiculous "name" pricetag. So far, I think I'm leaning towards one of these guys:

Omega SMP Chrono:

UPO in orange:

any comments always welcomed!

Just wanted to introduce myself

I live in the miami/Ft.Lauderdale area, and i'm thrilled to find this forum....great info, great reviews, etc. I'm currently on the market for an Omega Ultimate Planet Ocean, or a similar Crono version.

any comments welcomed!

and if you know any dealers in my area, please shoot me a PM or let me know!

Hello

I was wondenring if there is a Chronometer version of this rep (PO 45mm "Ultimate" black), and if it as accurate as the non-chrono one.

Requesting advice from the pros.

Thanks

P.S.: By the way, excellent review and pics, By-Tor.

Same here....wondering if there is a Crono equivalent of the uPO, and if it has the ETA movement. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks guys....so I guess the uPO is really a hot seller here!

as far as purchasing, would anyone be kind enough in recommending a dealer in my area if you know one? How do I go about finding one in my area (fort lauderdale, Florida)?

will it be just the same to purchase from Andrew or Ruby?

sorry for the newbie questions

hi everyone,

1st, I wanted to introduce myself....I live in Miami and have been drooling for several months over an OMEGA SMP crono or Ultimate. I recently purchased a rep from craigslist (Rolex Daytona) and was not very satisfied.

Anyways, I've been reading this wonderful forum all day non-stop , and have narrowed my choices to these three:

1. Omega Planet Ocean 45mm "Ultimate version" (in Orange)

2. Omega Speedmaster "Broad Arrow Venus" hand wind

3. Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Asian 7750

after reading all the reviews and info, my head is fried!! I do have a few questions I'm hoping you gurus can help me with:

1. which of these watches would be the most reliable and accurate? I've read on this forum and elswhere that the Planet Ocean Crono with asian 7750 is very problematic, but man, I just love that watch!! should I stay away, or is it good?

2. where do you guys recommend getting the above? I've been closely watching perfectclones88, ttwristwatch, and watchgroup.....any preference from you guys?

if I'm a complete tool, or if there is any additional info you guys wanna share, I would appreciate it greatly! thanks in advance.
