45 Mm Po

[Devedander]

Well the 45mm Ultimate PO from Josh and Andrew seems to be getting answered all around, noteably by Silix and River...

Now if I recall correctly the ultimate was supposed to be an exclusive to Josh and Andrew... so are these new POs the same as the ultimate or are they different?

I wanted to ask the same but always hesitated

I plan to pull the trigger on that beauty very soon...so any answers are welcome

EDIT: my little contribution: from what i get from Silix's pics of the 45mm PO, doesn't look the same with others...the pearl at least is different...

The Omega logo is too big on Silix's version!

Silix answered me that they are different as the ones from Josh and Andrew, but that they will be good.

He told me that he was not able to get his hands on the PO from Josh and Andrew. (Chinese corruption ?)

The pictures on the site are not updated yet, so I can't tell yet. I ordered one allready, so I will post soon.

Good info!

Interested to see what it's like when you get it.

Glad to hear Jay is open and honest that it's not the same as what the other guys have (not to say it's worse or better and certainly not to say I would expect otherwise of him!) and I would guess that maybe our dealers are getting deeper in the game than just dropshipping for someone... they may be getting into the actual manufacturing business themselves or at least forming partnerships... reps are undoubtably good money and like any other business, it's... well it's business!

I almost wonder if one day when Angus digs around in his suppliers drawer to see what's new it will just be him at his own desk

It will be interesting to see how the economies of the world reflect themselves as a microcosm in our rep corner of the world, ie normal business practices like exculsivity contracts, partnerships and barriers to entry...

For those getting the 45mm PO, please be aware that aome of the orange numbering dials have the slanted omega logo. The white numbering does not have this problem. So those getting this ultimate PO, please beware... Just a friendly advice...

It also appears that the hands are to short. I was about to pull the trigger on this one but after looking at the flaws more closely, I think i will have to go with Joshs version.

Where did you see any pictures of the PO from silix?

His site still shows the old one...

Along with a message saying 'pictures to be updated'.

[Guest aclaimsman]

He sent them to me.

They are also under his dealer section.

The ultimate 45mm PO comes from the same manufacture at the moment.

The PO is a must have for any rep collector

Thanks for the info... just got my 42mm a week before the ultimate 45 came out and so now I am forcing myself to hold back... grrr it's difficult....

[rocket754]

I really am enjoying my ultimate PO. It's just a to notch rep. one of the most accurate you can get right now.

Have you looked inside? Is it metal or plastic movement holder?

Haven't looked inside yet. I think a couple people here have though.

The 45mm ultimate has a metal spacer where as the 42mm has a plastic one, other improvements are the pearl, crown and tube, bracelet endlinks, clasp and the tip of the seconds hand has a closer colour to gen.

Both are very good but the 45mm is better.
