Ben Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi, i hope this hasnt been asked already but i am looking at a PO and noticed there are two versions on WO-mart there is the "so called ultimate" with 22mm lugs @ $219 http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1168 or the 5th generation @$189 http://www.wo-mart.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1129 is the lug size the only difference? and more importantly what is a lug? (noob....) so i guess is the 22mm lug worth the extra ca$h? cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The lug width is the space between the lugs where the strap attaches to the watch. The gen is 22mm where some of the reps are a bit short of that. It is an obvious flaw but how big of one is up to you. If you don't ever plan on taking the supplied strap off then it dosen't matter all that much, however if you ever plan on adding a rubber divers strap or anything like that it is a big deal. Also on the cheaper version the buckle is incorrect. The word "Professional" is supposed to be engraved above the "Planet Ocean" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Ultimate is 6th gen and is the first generation where they finally got it all correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl is better, apparently the AR coating is better, the overall fit and finish is of a high standard especially the bracelet, and considered to be one of the best reps out of the box! The lug is the distance between the bit where the strap fits to the case. Read by-tors review in the stickied bt at the top of this forum, this will give you a good insight into its quality.
