robbnj Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Holy damn, is this a NICE watch! DO NOT DELAY. BUY NOW!!! It's been posted about before, but here's the deal: Band is very heavy & solid & feels great out of the box. A little cleaning & a baby oil bath & it's butter. The only additional work was to radius some sharp edges on the clasp (2 minutes with a Dremel) and re-size (with a hammer, Vise Grip pliers and a paperclip - no B.S.). The clasp & deployant work fine. The letters & logo are deeply engraved. "P" and "O" are larger than the rest of the letters in PLANET OCEAN. The watch head is very nice. Well polished, 120 click bezel, rep-issue pearl, painted (thermographed?) orange numerals, blue tint on crystal (not really anti-reflective it seems). Caseback is nicely finished, again with the larger "P" and "O". Lume is Nicolas Cage (i.e. gone in 60 seconds). Watch is delivered very securely wrapped & packed. 'Came with a velvet gift bag & a cleaning cloth. 'Wound the watch and it's lost only 5 seconds over a 24 hour period. Nice. The flaws I have found with this rep: Are you kidding me? This watch was DELIVERED for 65 quid!!! I'd be a complete and total tool to even suggest that there is a flaw in a watch like this that cost little more than a Timex! My pics suck, but a thread without pics sucks even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luso Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 The watch will not please the replica perfectionists. The lume is indeed weak. It will not accept a gen bezel (from my measuring and Ofrei data). But still represents the best value I have ever seen, apart from a Casio G-Shock. FABULOUS item. A relume and gen tube, crown and he-valve would make it really smashing. I am very pleased and recommend this watch and Reg too - kind, helpful and understanding. Go for it!

P4GTR Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Nicolas Cage, eh? A rep is a rep is a rep. Aside from Ubi-fying the hell out of a 4th gen UPO (which isn't even produced anymore) to the tune of close-to preowned gen, then you are bound to have a few flaws. For the fit, finish, price, etc.. This is "Rep of the Year" in terms of satisfaction and value. Getting to deal with Reg, a bonus in itself! Your pics aren't bad at all, and I'm digging that Omega vase. With your ability to snap clear shots, all you need is a nice big piece of white posterboard for a backdrop. like so- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
