cobra8272 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Hi Just ordered a 42mm PO Black Bezel with orange 6,9,and 12 from Replicamake88 - Lay i think. Received the QC post to day. Pics attached. Looks ok and specs seem good - BUT - i'm not an expert. What do you think? Is it ok should i OK the order. Thanks for any feedback. Cobra
Tribal Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Looks ok, but you must know that the Dial printing and also the Date font is silver... It must be all white writing like the real deal..
Mickey Padge Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Looks ok, but you must know that the Dial printing and also the Date font is silver... It must be all white writing like the real deal.. This may be true, however none of the new 42mm PO's actually have the white writing, do they? This is still the latest and best 42mm Planet Ocean rep you can buy, yes? Looks like a very nice rep, I can see nothing wrong with the QC pics
cobra8272 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Posted July 14, 2011 Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. I do realise its a Replica - (tongue in cheek) I think its a winner too ! Just wanted a few experienced eyes to check and make sure i hadn't missed anything. Appreciate your time and comments. Will confirm the order tonite. Cobra
cobra8272 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Posted July 14, 2011 Hi Just managed to post the link to the spec video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZyjiRPkOQg&feature=player_embedded 2 s/d looks ok Cobra
superlative Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 It's a keeper. The UPO has come a long way since v.1 and happy feet.
Jkay Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 That logo is wrong though isn't it? Ooo ... the light is very bad ... MAYBE a happy feet logo ... I can not tell.
cobra8272 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Posted July 16, 2011 No definitely not HAPPY FEET !! There are a couple of other pics and one shows the logo quite clearly. Cobra
cobra8272 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 Left china today 17th !!!! Hurry Hurry please:-)
superlative Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Lay's the best! Awesome watch. I want one too now.
giobo Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I have the orange one..I didn't wait it to have such nice quality..Really nice this one.. Of course it has some tells but easy to find parts for a franken project..
MagicDrumSticks Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Cobra, I have the new 42mm PO (same as yours) and mine has white writing; no happy feet either. Got it from Mary and highly recommend her.
ryaku Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Cobra, I have the new 42mm PO (same as yours) and mine has white writing; no happy feet either. Got it from Mary and highly recommend her. Sorry to say but I don't think so. You'd be the first and only one to have a white writing on his 42mm 5th gen PO. Unless they printed a new dial it's not very likely.
giobo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 What abouth the one that TD's sell?? They are 5th gen and with white writing.. Or we mean other things...
cobra8272 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 well i think they must have printed a new dial as the writing on mine is white, no question. I,ve had it under 2.5x mag and used colour sheet samples to match - definitely white. Maybe one of the dealers can confirm or deny ???
cobra8272 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 Magicdrumsticks congrats on the watch . they are great and keep perfect time. Cobra
MagicDrumSticks Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Sorry to say but I don't think so. You'd be the first and only one to have a white writing on his 42mm 5th gen PO. Unless they printed a new dial it's not very likely. It looks pretty white to me. Maybe I should bleach the dial But seriously, look closely at the lettering in my pics, it's white lettering. Magicdrumsticks congrats on the watch . they are great and keep perfect time. Cobra Thanks Cobra you as well!! One thing I gotta ask you though. I noticed that the version of this watch with the white numbers seems to have whiter markers. The one we both have seems to have GREENISH markers, what do you think?
tgchrono2 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 is there a simliar in quality & characteristics one on 45 mm ?
cobra8272 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 MagicDrumSticks Yes they do look a little off white. Could be the AR coating?
