Slight variations on 42mm 5th Gen PO?

Recommended Posts

Could somebody please help clarify something on the 5th gen PO 42mm, since it came out we've had a few variations 'out of the box' on this but I find it difficult to see what dealer has what version? Seems a bit of 'pot luck' on which you'll receive.

Here is what I mean:

First release of the 5th gen and the one still stocked by most dealers, jandrew etc:

Omega logo directly on top of OMEGA writing, pearl a bit more protruding and prominent!

Then there was a period where there was some dial mishaps with missing words and some got sent out to forumites:

Notice the location of the Omega logo here, much more centred on dial, still not where the gen is but much better 'balanced' than the first edition.

Pearl is still shi**t :)

And now there's this one but still seems to fairly rare only stocked by select dealers, I personally think it's the best I've seen, with

2nd version omega logo, more flushed pearl, hard to see exactly in first pic but 2nd pic is better example:

Thanks to S3g0y for this pic!

So my question is! What the fcuk is going on? How come some of these 42mm 5th gen are clearly a newer variation than others?...and who has them...or is it a secret?

Just concentrate on getting one with the Omega symbol in the correct place, the pearl can simply be pushed down to the correct level with your thumbnail on the 5th gens.
