wagneralbert Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I received my last Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean (clone ETA) with rubber strap from Marry (watchinternational@gmail.com). The watch is very pleasant to wear, well finished and very accurate. A few pics with orange rubber strap : The QC pics i received from marry : The communication and advices of marry were perfect as usual.

cougar1 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 That looks very nice Wagner, congratulations. You posted great pictures aswell, enjoy the watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetWork Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 In the first images on the white drawing background, the case back has a complete "T" in the word PLANET. On the black leather background pictures, the top right hand side of the "T" is missing on the case back. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I wear my strap like that, positions the buckle better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 my brain, eye, hand coordination would never let me do that, I'd get confused and probably end up dropping the watch while trying to get it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetWork Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I saw that, and checked my QC pics and was like, "Whew, I have the "T"... YES!." Then I also noticed the Omega logo on the clasp has one "Happy Foot" on the right and not on the left. I checked my QC pics and the angle of the watch in my pics is such that you can't really tell. So it could be that it is either fine, or it was an attempt to mask a flaw. I won't know until I get mine. I tried to look online, as I do not have access to the GEN, and I found so many different ones. It looks like the GEN has the happy feet on the clasp on some, has a flaw similar to this one in some cases, so I didn't mention it. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings here. When I get mine, if it has the clasp logo flaw, and if everything else is pretty good, I'll prob ably be all torn up and constantly look at it. I'm already thinking I need the dial and hands due to another thread. I am trying to resist the urge to find someone that can get their hands on Omega parts in the USA . for a reasonable price. I'd really like to get a GEN carbon fiber dial I have seen on some limited edition POs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It'sAboutTime Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) The PO I just received from Josh has happy feet on both sides of the Omega logo on the clasp. I bet yours will too.

WetWork Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks Time, I have my fingers crossed. That is the correct GEN isn't it, the Happy Feet on the clasp? Even if it isn't, if it one or the other, "Happy Feet" or no "Happy Feet" it's OK, I would prefer the accurate one, but as long as it isn't One clown shoe, one amputated foot. Which is kind of like this one looks like, I'll be OK with it. Correction, I'll kind of have to be OK with it either way since it's here.

I'd really like to get a GEN carbon fiber dial I have seen on some limited edition POs. Hands and dial? How about that pearl? Apart of it being the biggest tell on these reps, I just can't look at it being off-center like that. Actually this is the reason I haven't got myself a PO until now.

WetWork Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 That's a $27 fix I already have one on order. THAT's what's stopping you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Actually, yes. This issue has a potential to drive me crazy. Not because it's a tell, but because it's off-center. 27$ fix? i'm not sure you can get a gen incert taht cheap, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The pearls on the 45mm UPO's are almost always off centre, that one looks pretty good actually....in that it's not lopsided at least. The 42mms are better in terms of centring the pearls. Also the happy feet issue just concerns the dial logo, the feet are accurate to gen on the bracelets/casebacks etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 the 45mm in orange is a little off on alot of points compared to a gen, bezel colour, dial number colour etc and all the usual stuff with upo's like the dials date window, pearl wrong etc etc lol the best 45 is either of the black bezel variants imho...the 42mm orange bezel version on the other hand is spot on-correct date window, centered pearl, correct colour on bezel and dial numbers and lots more good stuff.. to the OP, keep it on bracelet-the genuine rubber strap is only available in black, not orange...an instant tell to anyone whos knows their watches.unless you like the full on orange look and aint fussed what people think then go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetWork Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I wish I would have known that about the orange bezel 42 mm. I would have just gotten that more accurate model & swapped the black bezel on. Where were you a week ago! At least I don't have one that part of the "T" falls off if I "change the band."

cougar1 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 He means the orange 45mm PO vs the orange 42mm PO wetwork, the black 42mm PO is just as 'accurate' as the orange 42mm PO. In other words the 42mm PO are overall more accurate compared to gen than 45mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetWork Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Yay! Now I am happy (feet) again! Are there usually mysterious posts that exactly define specific vendors like this that are clearly FAKE being posted and left up? If so... bully to the enterprising kids doing it!

cougar1 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Mary (watchinternational) aka 'Marry' above has been a dealer on all the fora for quite a long time, I haven't used her for many years, found her a bit slow at times but I think she was one of the first...if not the first to introduce QC pics, which were then slowly adopted by all the other dealers. Not too sure how she is doing in reputation compared to the others lately but is still a favourite of many. Can't say what the hell happened with that caseback but looks like it was opened along with others after QC (maybe to regulate, who knows) and was replaced with the first caseback on the workbench that came to hand??. http://www.watch-international.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/...=item2566d326ae There is some aftermarket bezel that anyone can comment on whether good or not. No good - same as the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yep, all those aftermarket bezels are crap, the pearl on the 42mm watch out of the box is usually better than most of them, on the other hand if you ask them for a bloody accurate centred one for a change and not to send any crap then they might make an effort, one or two bezels from these guys had decent enough pearls...as seen from mods on other forums on the 45mm PO's......still nothing like the gen though. The pearls on the 42mm are much better centred at least than the 45mm, doesn't really need a mod, unless it's a one off really bad one which would be rejected on qc pics. The only perfect pearl is gen bezel....not even gen pearl transplanted in rep bezel...but full gen bezel.....a cool £200 these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
