watch.aholic Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 It looks good to me....the pearl is nice and centered.....Take it....As for the crown tube issue, it'd come sooner than you think...just buy OEM crown and tube and get a watchmaker to swap it for you....that's something that you'd have to do for sure as the threads on the rep crown n tube get threaded pretty quickly....it's due to the poor steel they use..

DeeCee Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I believe you can buy it from Ofrei., I have the V5 45.5 PO and so far no issues with crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal.tbh Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 There's a great tutorial for replacing the crown and tube here: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/142430-my-planet-ocean-45mm-damaged-to-franken-the-story-so-far/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrari1 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is there a good Omega modder, someone like BK who you can buy the watch from with the crown and tube issue already sorted out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 This Omega looks good to me! Hope you receive it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing the reason why you can't use a gen crown with the rep tube is because the internal thread pitch is different?

lol4 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yea the factory's been spitting out a bad batch lately. I was able to screw mine down probably 4-5 times before it gave out... But as with reps, it's a gamble you might not need it at all. But if you do, I did it myself it was pretty easy actually.. The parts cost me $54 from ofrei with shipping, then all you need it basic tweezer/needle nose pliers, marine epoxy ($5 from walmart), I also went ahead and greased everything with silicone grease to make the watch water-resistant.
