ZedWings Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well, here is my new PO Ti. It is light, however I didn't get that sense of cheapness others have reported feeling. It still feels pretty solid to me. It's keeping good time, and the power reserve seems good. The lume is good and bright and the AR coating looks nice. I'm happy overall. It has the usual flaws, the pearl is off and still a giveaway to those in the know, and the OMEGA logo on the back is a little rough and a bit too deep. Also, the clasp is not really up to par - the watch comes off too easily for my liking. The wrong wrist movement and the thing falls off.

StormTooper4 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Looks pretty nice despite the points your raised. I never really liked the original Seamaster Blue but this ceramic tone is really appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rileywiley Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 If you take apart the caps you can bend the wires that hold it together and it will close tighter. I had to do it with my v5 PO when I first got it. Nothing screams rep like a watch that comes off your hand when you are shaking someones hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest khashayar Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I see what you mean about the watch falling off. I had the same issue, and Andrew sent me a clasp replacement. The new one was pretty good for a while, but then started to function badly as well. Seems to be a rather common issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedWings Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Well, my new PO has broken already. The crown came away from the watch completely. It doesn't seem to be connected to anything now. I'm contacting Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Send it to MD2020. DO NOT send it back to China! Turn around is 2-3 months. Trust me I KNOW! See if Andrew will refund the repair amount which shouldn't be much for a stem replacement and service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I had a black ceramic PO and the clasp was great! I think the clasp issue is only with the titanium model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 get this now or wait for the noob version? Dammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 get this now or wait for the noob version? Dammit I had the same thoughts, then decided to get it. The Noob version may be marginally better but with a rep this good and at fairly decent prices and relatively minor-ish issues I felt it's worth getting. If the Noob version proves to be a vast improvement then I can always sell this one and get the Noob version. Either way, I'll have a great PO rep that'll bring a smile to my face each time I look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinelli Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What does a noob version mean mate, new to the boards had reps in the past but never heard this terminology before, thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Noob is the so-called "factory"/ maker that has been churning out very good reps. They work hand in glove with Angus of puretime who helps to guide them towards the nuances and nitpickings which we on the boards fret over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
