Review Of The "ultimate" Planet Ocean 45mm


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

By-Tor the snow dog! I wonder how many people on here know thats from a Rush song. How is your UPO holding up after almost a year? I ordered one today from Josh.

I think they know it by now, it was mentioned in my interview. :D

I just recently traded my UPO, because I never got used to the humongous size. I think the smaller 42mm is much nicer version of the PO's. Too bad the 4th Gen rep isn't as good as the UPO. Most people think the XXL version is nicer, it's a taste thing. The watch always worked perfectly, absolutely no problems.

Enjoy, it's a great replica!

sorry for the noob question...

but where can I get hold of the UPO?

i afraid i might end up buying the wrong version i.e. Ultimate Lite etc...

would appreciate the kind help... thanks a million! :)

depends where you are based but most dealers will carry it, Josh, Andrew (trusty time) or if you are based in Europe PT a.k.a Precious time will be your best shot.

The UPO is the 45mm version and these dealers will have it with ETA movements

just got a new Gen PO and was able to compare side by side. Here is a quick list.

Luminosity- much brighter on the GEN, further the lume material itself is a whiter color and the gen, the UPO looks yellowish when compared to the GEN lume.

Crown- unscrews much smoother and when winding the watch feels smooth

AR is better on the GEN

Weight - Gen seems substantially lighter

Where's the best place to source this watch these days? Precious Time?

Most dealers have this watch. I bought mine from Angus @ Puretime. Mine even came with an Anti-magnetic cover over the movement.. i've heard lots of people's don't even come with this! :thumbsupsmileyanim: Thing to watch out for is the Crown and Tube. Mine is already starting to strip... So the gen crown and tube is a VERY necesary mod :( I'll be installing new crystal, gen bezel insert and gen bracelet on this over the course of the next year :)
