ryaku Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Planet-Ocean-Liquidmetal-World-Premiere-Case-Crystal-Caseback-/111146535938?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19e0d98c02 Do you think it's gen? It'd be quite difficult to tell a gen case from a rep case for me if I don't have both in my hands. Can we look at the serial number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 very vague description (no mention how he got the case "new"), the pearl looks wrong-not in position but how the lume is filled...there were 1948 of these models made, so how he came by a new case god knows, and with such a sought after and collectable model why on earth would you decase the movement/dial and then sell the case?! also the crystal from the angles hes taken the pics has a lot of glare, these models had an almost colourless anti-reflective coating to show off the dial... id say this is a noob case, before puretime released the latest version it was available as an Asian movement model that had no AR coating on the crystal, just like this one on ebay... too many questions around it...id stay well away...

icoopernicus Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 This looks like the early release of this model replica without the display caseback, also, agree with bamcky2k, far too many questions regarding how and why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 It's rep, serial number and caseback. It's not one of the older cases, but definitely one of the newer noob cases. Cheeky sod whoever put it up! Good find Ryaku! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamcky2k Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 ha! oh yea!, if you get a close up of the serial number on the listing-exactly the same as the one pictured on puretime tut tut, listing reported...I cant believe people are actually bidding...

cougar1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 It's there alright, didn't think I could copy/paste the ebay listing pics but apparently we can: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnydale Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Good catch! These happen more and more as the reps are so close to gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah, too fishy to be true... Quite frankly the new LM rep case is so good that without the S/N is very hard to say if gen or not from pics....the AR crystal is a reliable indicator as well but light reflexes are too variable to be 100% sure if you cannot look carefully at the crystal in the flesh. As for the pearl...well, on the new LM pearl is almost spot-on. Edited August 21, 2013 by ryaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
