jorabe Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Hi everbody. I haave the following question regarding the HE Valve. Is the placemnet on this watch close to yhe gen or tottaly off? Have a nice day jorabe
sgtguk Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Its well off jorabe, it should be higher up the case, where is it from?
jorabe Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Its from one of the trusted dealers here. i dont know if a should reveal that person yet. I say the same thing to the seller that the HE valve is off and does not represent the pictures on the site.
sgtguk Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I've had the same before when I picked up my Po42, just ask him firmly for another watch with the correct placement or try another one of the TD on the forum, It took a few nudges from me to make sure I got the right one in the end, if your not happy with the watch they want to supply you don't buy it! What model and movement is it?
jorabe Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 I agree with you. The wrong HE placemnet is huge killer for me. Its the 42mm with a Asian 2824-2 Movement. Thanks for the help man. Jorabe
danza1812 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 This is also a2824 and appears to have better he valve placement
jorabe Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Yours look great matt2302. I just got an email from the dealer saying " Thanks for confirming the QC pics and we will arrange to send out the order for you ASAP "without me confirming the watch. More to come..
sgtguk Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Mine is the same model Jorabe, and the He is good too
jorabe Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 The one that got QC pics looks good to exept for the HE valve placement, which for me is the downer and the dealer tries to send it.
AsiadeCuba Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 he valve must be 1mm above the 10 oclock marker
danza1812 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Mine arrived I'm happy with the placement.
jorabe Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Looks great. Mine is on the way. Issue resolved.
danza1812 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I've sent mine away for some Franken treatment. Now I'm happy with the placement of the he valve I'm putting a gen valve, crown/tube, dial and hands on it for starters.
jorabe Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Matt whats that modification gonna cost you? Send a pm if you font wanna say it public. Jorabe
danza1812 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Parts came to just over £300 and mods will cost about £100. A drop in the pond against a gen po. It's my third Franken planet ocean and I think I'll keep this one. Maybe add a gen bezel in a few months. The crystal will do as I'll wear this daily and there's no point changing it just yet.
jorabe Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Thamk you. Its good to now if a dicide to mod me PO in the future. Jorabe
jorabe Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 My PO 42mm has arrived. Im very pleased with it. Looks much better then the one in the my first post. Pics taken with my phone camera. /Jorabe.
sgtguk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Looks good jorabe, nice pearl too good on ya
jorabe Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, im very pleased with the overall look off the watch.
