Rolexman Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) The only things I can see that are any better than the 4th gen are that the clasp is engraved The 4th gen. has an engraved clasp hasn't it Fuzzy?.. maybe you got the third generation? Can't wait for Andrew's 6th shipment to come in =) Edited April 10, 2006 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eLiNK Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 (edited) cwai02 Could you take a close-up of the logo pleeese? Edited April 10, 2006 by eLiNK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 The logo itself is correct and the placement is very close to the genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 here is a comparison of andrews chinese one and the 4th po with swiss ,just a quick dial comparison , the number r more correct on the chinese the logo is higher , the 4th po dial has some kind of white small outline around the edge of the numbers at 6,9,12 kind of weird looking if u look at it hard lol , the lume on the 4th is whiter in color than the asian one which has a slightly green tint like C3 lume , the second hands appear to be aobut the same length and the hands as well , im just comparing dials for u so u can see the logo positioning and print ok they r quick pics so i didnt hide shadows and stuff like that ok asian one 4th po from andrew asian one 4th po Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorg12 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 which m is more correct...i really cant tell from omega site. is the asian more accurate then the andrews 4th gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 i say the asian is more correct with the bighter whiter tick marks and white lettering above the six and under the 12 oclock , but i think the markers r more accurate sized on the 4th planet ocean and the logo shape and size is more accurate on the 4th , so im in the process of transferring the markers from the fourth to the asian dial and positioning the logo off of the 4th and putting it on the asian in a more accurate gap , the asian font size and numbers at 6,9,and 12 r almost perfect as well and those numbers on the 4th frankly r ugly cause they r thicker and have a white border which is not right either, i have already checkd if the dial would fit the eta and it will with a coupld of modifications(cut the feet and glue it to the gap ring in between the movment and the dial , i will post some stuff in just a minute , while im at it does anyone know what color lume it should have on the genuine, i assume white C1 superluminova but im not sure cause some pics i have seen have a slightly greenish tint to it , thanks for any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 This has all been very interesting. Obviously, all reps do not come from the same place. I have several from Ms King that do not look like what I have seen pictured here. There is no plastic insert for sure. They measure about 42.5 not counting crown, the hands are longer, and they are actually waterproof. Joshua says his are very nice too, but I haven't seen any reviews of them yet. I think I'll buy some and compare to King's side-by-side. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8o8 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 how come no one's got one of the 45mm POs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 how come no one's got one of the 45mm POs? They are all Chinese movements so far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8o8 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 i was just curious because of all the reviews seems to be about the 42mm version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Rolexman...that review is someone elses, I just cut and paste it from the other board for everyone to see. I don't have a P.O....YET. Wow. i wonder if King has an even newer version w/ correct case--42.5 w/o crown and the He valve position like that means she must. Is the logo applied or painted? If it's painted, we anal retentives will have to take the logo off the chines version and put it on that one. is there a way to remove the painted logo w/o removing the paint on the dial.

sye46 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 i got andrew's PO and the 2nd clasp (dive suit clasp) is VERY loose.... it never stays in place. is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is C1. I like the idea of mixing and matching pieces onto the Asian dial--the price is definitely right on the asian version. Which date window is more accurately sized? If the Asian is too small it's a tough call--The question is, which is a more visible flaw, the date window size or the markers? I don't want to make that call---but it looks like we're going to have to make it for the time being until version 6 comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just got my tracking number for my 4th gen modified BLACK PO......now the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 It's worth the wait Gran.... the PO I received is exact the same as the one on Andrew's pictures. Friggin' crooked 11 and 3 marker... not that noticable but still not a pretty sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingsor Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Swiss ETA movement 2824-2 Black Bezel 42.5mm with crown included Rotatable Bezel Sapphire Glass Engraved Case Back - 100% correct LOOK AT THE LATEST CLASP - Engraved with the 100% correct font of PLANET OCEAN Curved Bracelet like genuine version I read somewhere: PO on case back not engraved but etched, plastic movement holder and no Anti-magnetic cover or AR coating (edit: It does have AR coating). I already ordered Andrew's because his dial is more accurate in my opinion and I think Joshua's case is too small (40mm) Any other opinions?? seems to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbage Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) i recently got trustys asian 45 mm and swiss 42mm both in black. the 45mm was about perfect on the dial to my eye....i had a couple slightly askew markers on the 42, but i have sent it to The Zigmeister to relume and will take care of that at same time. the 42mm swiss is a really heavy, nice looking and feeling piece...the pics are a true representation. the 45mm is alot lighter. the 42 mm sits higher above the wrist, the 45 is more streamlined....the 42 has a deeper "dish" or rehaut then the 45.....dont know how that compares to gen though. on the bracelets the 42 mm swiss is much nicer...rounded, with the rounnded clasp and the PO text. the 45mm had a non rounded bracelet and clasp and is the same 20mm size as the 42, though the big po should have 22 mm bracelet. all in all they are both sweet pieces that are worth getting....my bro who got the 45 mm absolutely loves it...and i am really lovin my 42...just mailed it away yesterday though for some The Zigmeister love.
