Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Hello Gang received my PO today. Mine has a black date wheel with silver date It must be white I think. Also the Markers are a bit creamy greenish. I'm a bit disappointed, on the Pics it looks much better. Edited January 20, 2011 by Tribal
importr Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 oh poo...! i thought these were made by the same factory
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 It's from Josh. Emailed him about it we will see.
ryaku Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Gosh...sorry to hear that, I just ordered one for myself mate, post some pics if you can
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Got an answer from Josh and send him a pic of it.. He told me its correct So I also noticed that the Dial Print is also light silver...... I have seen some gen ones it must be white text on the Dial also the date must be white thats fact.... damn I hate those things.. Some other member climb in that bought the 5th gen PO. I want to hear if they have the same problem????
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) here is a Picture Edited January 20, 2011 by Tribal
ryaku Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I'm afraid it's a flaw all new PO's have .... very strange nobody noticed so far DAMN IT! So now there's no way I can wear it without a brand new gen dial.
ryaku Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Tribal, i almost forgot, how about the bracelet gap there was in the 4th gen? do we still have that flaw here?
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Tribal, i almost forgot, how about the bracelet gap there was in the 4th gen? do we still have that flaw here? Do you mean the gap between the SEL and the Bezel? if so yes its there
slickdick Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Might be because of the huge pic, but te markers at 3,6 and 9 seems crooked.
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Might be because of the huge pic, but te markers at 3,6 and 9 seems crooked. maybe the angle of the Pic.... all is fine expect the silver writin on the Dial and the shiny silver date numbers... Sorry for the big Picture So nobody noticed that before or its only my Po with this flaw???? Members climb in....
ryaku Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I just rechecked old reviews and in some pics you can see the different color: numbers 6,9,12 are white, other writings are closer to silver Is it that obvious in the flesh?
luckyman Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 jchurch posted some great closeups of the dial over at the other thread. Based on his photos it does look a little grayish but i don't think it looks that bad. But hey what do i know Pics courtesy of jchurch

So it seems to be a flaw on all 5th gen PO?!?! The numerals on the Dial are white as it shut be compared to the text...... Is your date also shiny silver?

The numerals on the Dial are white as it shut be compared to the text...... Is your date also shiny silver? I'm not sure. Like I said, the pics aren't mine. But based on my powers of observation they look like the same color as the dial text(not including 12,6 and 9 numerals) Edited January 20, 2011 by luckyman

I had a 4th gen PO I sold in the past..... there all writings where clear white also the Date...... I never realized it before because on the Pics it was not really noticeable
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Here's a gen 42mm for comparison. Thanks mate There u can see the difference in color. I can't believe nobody noticed that before So for me the 5th Gen is a step back.
Mapman57 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Looks like the rep dial Omega logo has lost its happy feet, but decided to rest its butt on the top of the words below....should be spaced off it more me thinks... Could be picture magnification and angles as Tribals looks better than the other on this issue? I have read all the reviews across the forums and never noticed these issues before..... funny how we spmetimes do not see the 'wood for the trees' Edited January 20, 2011 by PMMUTD68
starman351 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Hello Gang received my PO today. Mine has a black date wheel with silver date It must be white I think. Also the Markers are a bit creamy greenish. I'm a bit disappointed, on the Pics it looks much better. Did you get the version with the swiss movement or a clone? I got the clone movement and the datewheel was nearly perfect. The reason I ask is I have a 4th gen with swiss movement and the datewheel is as you describe (shiny silver). My guess is wherever they are getting these swiss movements from they just use the datewheel they get on the movement (if it's close). As to the dial. I would say it is slightly off on the color tone and thickness of the print. The green hue you are seeing is from the light passing through the green gasket. My gen has that too in certain light (the gen has a green gasket as well). Here's a gen 42mm for comparison. This a a gen 45.5.
tgchrono2 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Hello, are u talking about 42mm PO or UPO 45,5 mm?
By-Tor Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 This a a gen 45.5. Yes, sorry. I linked wrong picture. This is 42mm.
Tribal Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Doesn't matter of the size of the watch. The 5th Gen Dial is wrong that's it. Ever the same story one step forward one back
mojako Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Is the lume on the GEN 42mm whiter than the 45.5mm? I have held the GEN 45.5 a couple of time already and the lume under sunlight is a little greenish.
