ryaku Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I can't see any new PO at Josh's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Josh has just emailes saying he has listed an Ultimate 45mmm PO which is exactly like the swiss eta version but it has the cheaper Asian copy eta movment for a better price. All other detials are the same as the ultimate model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I see the 45.5mm Ultimate PO in the what's new listing. Not a new watch, but a new price. $128 At that price, i might have to get Planet Ocean number 5. Must......... resist. Too.......poor.

jdkno Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 So just how decent is the Aisa movement compared to the one in the "Ultimate"?? Is it worth paying the extra $110.00 for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 So just how decent is the Aisa movement compared to the one in the "Ultimate"?? Is it worth paying the extra $110.00 for? It says Asian copy of a 2824-2 movement, so I have no idea what movement is actually in it. With this movement, you more than likely will be unable to install the gen hands on an Asian movement, but would be able to do it with an ETA movement. It's exactly like it's ETA cousin, everything but the price....could be very tempting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Oops. I never spotted it was a different movement I still might get one. On the other hand, i might wait and see if it appears on a rubber strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly like it's ETA cousin, everything but the price....could be very tempting..... Ok so lets say one had no intention of putting the gen hands on the rep. Which would be the smart way to go. This is going to be my next purchase now I just have to decide on which movement would be better..you know the old pay now...pay later thing??

This is going to be my next purchase now I just have to decide on which movement would be better..you know the old pay now...pay later thing?? For the price, great deal. Again, I'm no expert here on movements, so I am nto sure how reliable the movement is (remember - you get what you paid for). But if this has the same offerings of its ETA cousin, then yeah, I would go for it - looks very very tempting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 hmmm.. very tempting....... I do believe that the Co-axial movement in the genuine Planet Oceans actually makes the movement a bit more juddery than a normal 28k movement? I wonder then if the asian movement will be more like this? If its reliable it could be a fantastic bargain!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth paying the extra $110.00 for? dang... i ordered my ultimate last weekand it's in the mail but the only asian 21J watch i have owned did have problems so i'm still happy! i talked to joshua about the rubber strap and he is considering ordering the strap for his genuine planet ocean and there is a chance he will use it to make a rep 22mm rubber strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it... it's listed at 28k so should be same smoothness as ETA... damn... the spoils to those who wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Doubt it... it's listed at 28k so should be same smoothness as ETA... damn... the spoils to those who wait I went ahead and e-mailed Josh about this movement and to see if there were any other differences, besides the movement, between the new Asian model and it's ETA sibling. He wrote back stating the following: "Only the movt is different..everything else is the same.. The watch need a higher pinnion for the needles due to the movt.. these are the differences. The movt is a Chinses copy of the 2824... 28800bph... Reliablity is defnitely there cos every production of movt is 10,000 pcs." To confirm if the date font is the same between the two, he confirmed it - "Yes the date font is the same... " So, for $110, seems like a great deal. May have to venture into getting the Black 45 PO with this movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 dang! now i kind of wish i had waited 5 days. i could have had the p.o.and the pam 120 i'm interested in i can only hope that as the eta reps dry up and are replaced by asian auto reps the value stays higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
