  1. Little POrikaa review, what a suprise.

    in The Omega Area

    Posted

    I just received the 42mm from WatchEden.

    Suprise ! it's a 45.5mm not the 42.5mm that I pay for :angry2: first time I do business with them, maybe last time I'll do business with them. I wrote to them and will see what they will do, first thing I will not ship it back at my own risk, and, certainly not at my own shipping fee. Maybe it wil go in FS section. Rep world it's a lot of good suprise,and, a lot, a lot of frustration, and I hit another exemple. Not the first bad experience, maybe not the last... sorry, I wanted to vent here...you know the drill, we ALL need to vent when we live bad things like that. -_-

    Ok, for the rest, the watch is identical to the POrikaa model, I mean, same bezel teeth "

  2. Little POrikaa review, what a suprise.

    After a long hibernation of watch acquisition and participation here, I do a soft come back with a PO 42mm from Narikaa, and another one from WatchEden (lite PO 42mm too on rubber) that I will get tomorow. What I show here is the Narikaa 42mm version (POrikaa), I'll be able to compare both of them this week.

    Intro:

    First, I want to thanks Narikaa for his excellent communication by doing business with. He's service is absolutely outstanding (he reply very fast to your question). The packaging of watch was very well made too. I recommend him without hesitation.

    Bezel:

    I want to advise all member who are purist will be probably disappointed about the bezel here. The bezel teeth structure is NOT like the GEN watch but it is like "

    UFF....I am disapointed now.....the price looks desperate

    Think I will spend my money on another watch....what a shame.

    +1 here too... I was willing to buy the black version, but at this price, I'll go to get the new Chrono Omega black dial vesion.

  8. GMTIIC Owners - What is the state of your rep?

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    I do get the same problem with my asian. Sometimes it stop and then move again. Just got mine from Trsuty about few days ago. When i don't use it, it works fine but if i use then it will stop for a while than i will shake it and it move again. Im just wondering what is the problem. Any idea?

    Did you tried this test: Manually full wind it (40- turn) at EACH morning before put it on your wrist, check after one week if you have the same problem, if yes, return it to Trusty.

    The rehaut with the writing on it, good god, why the hell they put this on the front??? why don't just put these infos on the case back... like other member said, it detract the dial design.

    Clearly, this watch is a TOOL watch, and that's all, who will wore this with a suit ^_^ . But for $11 000 for a "diving watch", you can get a Seiko MONSTER, or a SKX007 that will do a very nice job for diving to 200M, just for ~$200. Come on Rolex, you push it too far this time. What next? a watch that will be able to go to the center of the earth? :rolleyes:

  11. Do I got the UPO watch?

    in The Omega Area

    Posted

    I got my UPO from Puretime and I have read the review of the Planet Ocean here.

    But I am not 100% sure that this is the UPO 45.5mm...

    How can I easy see that this is a real UPO 45.5mm I got?

    I feel that the watch is not so big..

    How can I mesure the watch so I can se that the watch is 45.5mm

    On my watch the Omega ellipse logo is a little bit from the OMEGA text and the ellipse is not 100% in line.

    Is alittle bit rotated.

    I have a 951 number on the both sides under the watch.

    Need help.

    By my knowledge, PureTime don't sell the 42.5mm PO, just the 45mm version.

  20. Are you comfortable with big watch?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    hmm, the poll is a bit pointless as everyone's definition of BIG is different - everyone's wrist size is different and so are their preferences. why not have a poll as follows:

    Are you comfortable wearing:

    * 40mm

    * 42mm

    * 44mm

    * 46mm

    * 48mm

    * 50+mm

    That might give some sort a comprehensive insight into what people prefer. I have 7.5 inch wrists and I tend to prefer 42mm and would go MAX at 44mm. So, in ratio to my wrists, 42/44mm is not really a big size as such. I am comfortable at that size.

    Since a few years, men size watch was ~40mm, over that was considerate as big watch, mid size was ~37-38mm, so all watch that is 44mm and over are big watch.

    But these days, ~42mm seems to be the "new" men size standard.

    Yes, 18mm is way to thick, for any watch IMO.

    Hockey puck proportions.

    Hope you have an 8'' wrist.

    A lot of reps are much thicker than the gens.

    For me thickness of the watch is THE most important aspect. But I have only a 6.5 inch wrist.

    Many current 7750 chronos are just way to thick.

    Best of luck.

    I have a 6.5" wrist too, but I don't share your opinion on that jeff. Here my opinion.

    I bought a Skyland that is 17-18mm thick with the bezel, and yes, it's thick like a puck, but it's the look that Breitling want to give. It's thick on all kind of wrist. These kind of watch has a lot of presence and it's the goal (like panarai). Of course, all my other watch are not thick as the Skyland (Rolies, navitimer, speedy moon, etc.etc.), but a thick watch can have a place with a 6.5" wrist in a collection. The most important is the lug tip to lug tip size, it need to be just the same or under the size of your wrist. And the lup tip design is important too. A straight end lug tip can be more problematic, like a UPO, some pilot watch like the IWC 3717. Another factor is, if you have a "flat" wrist instead a "round" wrist, that help too.
