I keep telling myself I am going to wait a while before my next watch... but that never happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Enjoy it. I am preparing to give in on a 45.5 mm. I am told that one takes the gen rubber strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSpoon Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 i'm worried now, some mates at work are tempted to order as well so i'll get loads of hassle from them if it aint as good as i'm hoping can't wait, next two weeks are going to be painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased from Andrew and can't be an happier with the product I received. I too debated wheterh or not I should get the 42 or the 45, but don't think you'll be disappointed either way. I know how you feel though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm in the same boat like you guys. I can't wait to see my 45mm PO arrive......it should be somewhere around the Pacific Ocean or even the US air space ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSpoon Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) bugger! there was a mix-up and the watch was posted to a customer in Utah, USA instead of London, UK!! the other customer will hopefully agree to forward on to me and Andrew will re-imburse the costs but does anyone know of the best way to courier watches to the UK without customs hassle? ----update the other customer is annoyed and won't forward to me Andrew is going to resend, but now its chinese new year oh well Edited February 12, 2007 by tester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSpoon Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 cool, post photos when they arrive i hope your transaction doesn't have any 'hiccups' like mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jec97t Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Seriously...I think the 45 is a mistake...I know the "big" watches are in vogue but you absolutely cannot wear one with a suit...or wear many shirts with it on. My rule is this, if you are not 6'2 or above...go with the 42MM...lest you look like a little boy wearing daddy's watch to compensate. Just look at a guy like Tom Cruise (5'9ish) in a panerai...it dwarfs him. JEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just look at a guy like Tom Cruise (5'9ish) in a panerai...it dwarfs him. Tom Cruise is 5'7". I'm 5'9" and wear a 45mm Planet Ocean, a 47mm Fiddy and Radiomir and even a 187 tuna can. I don't feel any more ridiculous looking with one of those on than without a watch.

Here's my gen next to a rep PO. more pics at this thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Omega-425-Mm-Gen...-Po-t21128.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with his watch - a Bell & Ross Chrono ! He decided he liked my SMP so much he kept it ! To make matters worse, it was last one Silix-Prime had (Bummer !!). I sent the B&R back and swapped it for an Orange PO (45mm) which is a nice watch. I am 5' 9" and I don't think it looks too rediculous on me but I still prefer my 42mm PO that I already had from Paul at Wo-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
