chefcook Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I bought it about one and a half year ago new from a local AD for € 2100. MSRP was € 2850 back then. Currently I am waiting for a genuine PloProf I ordered last week. Waiting is the worst of the watch thing, hope the coming four weeks will pass quickly It seems weird but actually I think the big size Planet ocean wears bigger than the PloProf. The PloProf does not have long lugs. It may be a big watch but it does not wear extremly large due to its clever design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Man, I am happy that I already have the ultimate 42mm Planet Ocean, the genuine Always a great choice. I'm considering the gen too if the rep will disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esco Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 The gen is a good choice for this watch, considering the price point. Used 42mm POs can range from $1700 to over $2000+ depending on the condition. If you put together a franken 42mm PO, you'll still save hundreds off of a genuine... but with a genuine being just a fraction of a bit more thank you put in the franken, it certainly is an attainable watch. I haven't regretted getting my gen 42mm Pumpkin PO, the AR on the real thing is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Actually I think the 42mm PO is the best genuine watch I ever had and it get's the most wrist time (gen Rolex Oyster Perpetual 116000 and gen Panerai 005 in the box too). It is absolutely versatile in its looks - you just have to change the strap. It wears comfortable, it is robust and it is the most accurate of all my watches (gaining only about 4 Seconds per month!!). Sometimes I think that it would be fun to build a custom 45mm Planet Ocean: Weld in fixed bars, put a Nato on it, coat it in black PVD, colour the hands...

dbutlerman Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 The PO is a great choice! I built a franken 42mm, sold it when I won my Gen. Omega Speedmaster 3572.50, ended up missing it too much, and bought Ubi's franken. Now it's crystal is with Chief and I can't wait to get it back and on the wrist! Best of luck to all you waiting for the new model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amptor Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 4th generation PO is great and hopefully this one will be released. I'd buy another. Remembering holding the gen at the AD and unwrapping the 4th generation just days ago.. feels about the same. It is a very nice watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amptor Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 CAn you still get the 4th Gen from dealers? They used to show up from time to time in member sales. Wouldn't hurt to check around. I forgot what the last dealers were that were selling them were called now though. I'm sure someone here knows. I actually purchased the very last one the watchmaker created but it had the wrong dial. The one I still own is correct though from a different dealer.

omegaguy Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I just bought a 4th gen under a month ago from Andrew at Trustytime. He only had the orange bezel one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 The one for $318? That's too much for me right now... guess I'll have to watch the sales corner some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 They usually go for about the same price or more...somebody is selling one right now with Gen hands (<$50 from ofrei) and re-lumed dial for $425. $318 for a new 4th Gen isn't bad....

amptor Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 The one for $318? That's too much for me right now... guess I'll have to watch the sales corner some more cartel pricing. these were $230 at almost every dealer when they were still in production.

ryaku Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I originally paid my 4th gen 160$ shipped, Paul was selling at amazing prices in that period and i sold it for 140$ It was more than 3 years ago if i'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Who remembers the golden days of Abay... the reps were all in the $170 range with gen ETAs. Actually I'm not sure if the ETAs were any more "gen" as they're now, but the prices were right. PS: Is there any info and updates about the 42mm PO? Is it really coming or was it just a rumor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Only several months ago I paid $180 for a UPO from a dealer on another forum. It's not that the watches are more expensive .. it's that some dealers are more ... than others. Before you ask, he's closed his doors due to burn-out so .. can't help ya.
