tmeschoc Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 Hi all, I joined rwg a couple of weeks ago, having done some reading job and known there are a few factories that make different versions of replica watches. Like Noob, BP, G5, Taiwan, etc. Now, I'm considering to get myself an Omega Planet Ocean replica watch as a gift in the new 2014, I searched on here and read some reviews, and finally found those good quality Planet Ocean replicas are made by Noob and BP, am I right? But I really don't know which one to choose, a Noob PO with Asia 2836 movement or a BP PO with Clone 8500 movement? I need your advice, thanks. Regards, T

fidhle007 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 So you gave us exactly 33 minutes in the middle of the night to answer a question that can easily be answered with the "SEARCH" function built into the site? This ought to be good... 2

This ought to be good... Absolutely, those BP Planet Ocean or Noob versions have been discussed here for many times.

This ought to be good... Never mind, would you post some pictures or link of the watches you are hesitant about. Most people can't imagine and compare without a pic.
fetegrete Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 I bought a omega planet ocean at trusty times. Very pleased!!
davesteel Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 FYI it seems that a bunch of people are waiting on new and better Ceramic bezel versions of the PO - 42 and 45 - from Noob factory. I believe they recently came out with (>6 months ago) good CrPO versions.... also the LMLE (ceramic glossy dial/bezel, red detailing) from Noob is very accurate to gen but obviously there are always flaws, it being a rep. If you would go for the aluminum bezel versions then you should probably go with the latest UPO (45mm) which is from a different factory. If you really want super accurate rep, it's going to require a mix build e.g. best case base for franken is probably v5 PO (42mm) but with dial from a Noob, etc. but you can do a whole search for that . And it should go without saying that opinions vary. cheers dave "this is my first post helping a noob, rather than being a noob" steel
indywatchguy Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 I always steer anyone wanting the best Omega rep to the Noob factory LMPO. Order it from www.puretime-asia.com You will NOT be disappointed! Awesome watch! Closest one to gen yet!
hauspro Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 I bought a omega planet ocean at trusty times. Very pleased!! i bought a 42mm crpo from trusty, it's not here yet but from what i have seen it looks veeeeery nice. but the lmpo looks really good too....
frost Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 Does anyone have a recommendation on the best 2201.50 rep (Quantum of Solace PO). This is the closed-back non-ceramic version. I've got one from a TD, but I'm not sure which factory it's from.

fidhle007 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 It won't, I've played the frankens game long enough to know where the parts costs are and unless there are issues you won't find one for less than $3k.
Corral Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 My advise is to get a Noob ceramic PO or Noob orange Aluminum PO, forget about the Miyota since the 2836-2 is more refined. Nobody out in the real world, except for a professional will know it is not an 8500. The decision is yours, though. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Ok but for someone that has been eyeing a ceramic PO rep for a while, does the bezel still have the issues with the paint coming off?
Corral Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Neither the ceramic or aluminum bezel Noob PO will fade, that was an issue with the BP ceramic PO and don't take my word for it but I think they resolved that already. The only problem with the noob PO is the paint used for the dial is vulnerable to heat so don't leave your watch in the sun or use heat producing flashes or lights to charge the lume or to take pictures.

Thrasher Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 Did anyone buy a 8215 based watch if so how is that movement working out for you?
Smab Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Hi there. No such thing as a BP 8500 clone. BP uses claimed "swiss" or asian clone 2824-2. Clone 8500 is a modified Miyota from a third factory (not Noob or BP). Noob only uses an asian clone, I believe it is the Sea-Gull ST2130. Remember the Orange PO is not ceramic bezel, not even the newest range GENS. Only Black and Blue (Ti) is ceramic.
A4rings Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 How does Joshua from Perfect Clones - Plant Ocean's compare to the offerings from Noob and BP?
DavidTaiwan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 He valve/ happyfeet. Then again I have one from intime. I think maybe it's on sale. And it's pretty awesome. Good luck.
