Newbie - First purchase - Omega Planet Ocean 45mm - SwissETA

I just wanted to post some pics of my PO. I received it about 2 weeks ago. With the exception of a small dust particle under the glass, it's a great Rep. 

I can't say the same for the other that i had ordered at the same time. An IWC Top Gun 3799...It's arrived pretty much DOA. It has the a7750 movement. I could have sent it back, as the TD was very accommodating, but i chose to just deal with it here and took it to a watch maker/repair guy. I guess a couple of the wheels are bent and the parts are ordered...Once fixed, he will guarantee it for 1 yr. Not bad.

Anyway, an ok experience for my first purchase(s).

There are definitely some flaws...For under $400 there better be.  :)

When i zoom right in, you can see the lume isn't done very well either, but again, you don't see that from looking with the naked eye. i have my eye on a few other reps that i would be more apt to send off to someone to mod them so they are close to perfect and maybe i will do it to this one too.

Can someone please recommend the best person to do this and how they can be contacted?

Thx!

Congrats Dutch, great looking piece and photos. I have just ordered the blue/titanium version but this looks so good it's got me wondering if I made the right call! you look to have got a very good pearl and 12 marker as well compared to some I have seen. Was this the first one you were offered in QC?

Yup, first QC pics. I guess the way i looked at it was if there wasn't anything major that i could see, then i wasn't going to complain. I have my doubts if they actually even send the same watch as the QC pics...Maybe someone that's a little more seasoned could add their two cents on that. Either way, very happy with the Omega. I'm more excited about the IWC when i get it back, as well, i have a IWC 5002 on the way as well. This is addictive! :)
