dbutlerman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hey Gran - no logo on the new ones - only on the Hesalite models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hey Gran - no logo on the new ones - only on the Hesalite models... I figured that much...but I just had to ask that question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 So is there a OMEGA symbol in the crystal on the genuines? like on the "plexiglass crystals" Confirmed by my new friend / Omega AD shop owner - only "plastics" have the logo, Speedmasters, Contellations, plastic Seamasters, all of them. She doesn't know when this practice has started, she thinks early 60's, but she'll try to ask for us in the next couple of days. Pre-moon speedies definitely have the logo, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chou Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 god damn so jealous!!! really wish I could afford a gen PO!! real nice one you got there? what size is it btw? are you selling your rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's expensive to get in the gen game. I bought a PO when the first came out and I think a paid $2.400 NIB from an AD. I got a price quote this morning ... $3,650 and that's for the old style with the 2500 movement. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a very clean pre-owned 45.5 with a 2500 movement. I thought I'd sell the rep when I received the gen, but..... I still wear the gen as an everyday piece.

seeaye Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 nice.. i have the po45 in orange. i saw a someone wearing one the other day and thought my bracelet wasn't as shiny.. but mine looks exactly like yours in the pics so i'm not so worried now. i should probably take it somewhere to get polished or shined or something..

cougar1 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Lovely watch, reps are great but if a watch really calls to you it's worth looking for decent AD reductions or 2nd hand gens. wear it well. They are definitely gone up in price even 2nd hand and not everyone is enamoured by the thickness of the 8500...it is stunning though.

watchfinder_22 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Confirmed by my new friend / Omega AD shop owner - only "plastics" have the logo, Speedmasters, Contellations, plastic Seamasters, all of them. She doesn't know when this practice has started, she thinks early 60's, but she'll try to ask for us in the next couple of days. Pre-moon speedies definitely have the logo, though Just had a look on my Speedmaster Reduced and you can just make out the logo. It definitely pressed on the Hesalite crystal. Expensive as it is, I couldn’t resist buying one: Camera phone doesn’t do it justice. Edited March 22, 2012 by watchfinder_22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
