XM195 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Today I'd like to present to you my new Omega PO: I bought it from Trusty, who I want to thank again for his great service. It's really great looking, bezel is perfect, it was a little rough at the beginning but after few turns it's ok. Case is nice, with correct lug width etc. Lume is great, really I've never seen such bright and smooth lume. Marvelous! Now for the movement. It's ETA 2836-2 (It was described as 2824 but it's ok I guess). However I had some problems with it. After a week of using I was correcting the date and the stem came out. I left it at local watchsmith to fix it, and he said that the watch is kinda late like 5 mins a day. He suggested that the movement needs cleaning. I knew that sometimes ETA mov. used by factories are sloppy or just old, but on QC this watch had +6secs/d which was acceptable. However the watchmaker said that the movement looks nice and new. Nevermind though, he wanted like 250$ for cleaning and re-oiling it so... I guess I'll wait or just dismantle the watch and bring movement only so nobody gets distracted by OMEGA logo Or maybe someone from here would like to help me with it? Discounts for students are welcome I'd also thank @Sogeha @kernow @k4jun and @SSTEEL for their help regarding this watch. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 $250 is a little steep for a non-chronograph movement service, pm me, and I will give you a student discount of 50% off my retail price of a full movement service for you.

kernow Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 @XM195 Looks great. I’d take SSTEEL up on his offer. @SSTEEL I’m a student (of life), do I get the discount too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4jun Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 @XM195 sorry to hear about the movement and congrats on everything else:) Re QC pics for the movement, I like to use them for two purposes only: 1. To be sure that the movement is live, 2. and to see it has a correct frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biface Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 hi/ all Ordered such a watch in 2013. There are a few flaws. But the main problem that has emerged over time is that bezel is not ceramic, it aluminum and there are many scratches and dents on it. I literally wrote them today, see how it goes.

kernow Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 That’s about the correct price. I have a ceramic insert ordered and IIRC it was $60 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biface Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 see attached pics/ this is ceramic??? when i bougt in description writhen "ceramic", but my opinion is not true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4jun Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 You are right. BP sux with their "ceramic" inserts. BP SubC insert is not ceramic, actually I am not even sure is it metal or just some polymer. BP CrSMP insert - quite tired and clearly the edges are scratched in many ways. Btw, what happened to your watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to change it under warranty and one of the Arugmentov I pointed out a link to his site where clearly written that bezel should be ceramic, but the Chinese are very greedy... Well lost one potential customer... I will not take the replicas ever again... Ceramics-not ceramics... Mechanism Swiss-not Swiss...
