maxmsu Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Just saw this, before I pull the trigger, want to know what you OM PO experts think about this: KING'S NEW PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) The clasp is missing "Professional" engraving. Andrew's PO has a more accurate bezel. "Planet Ocean" engraving on the back cover should be a larger P and O. Edited April 9, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Planet Ocean" engraving on the back cover should be a larger P and O. Hers is a 42 mm version. "Professional" is engraved on the 45 mm version. The Omega logo on the dial is a way off. The serial number (or whatever it is) is not centered on the bracelet. Edited April 9, 2006 by eLiNK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 ar, you re right. I thought king is selling the 45mm version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Looks identical to Joshua's to me. The numbers are too large, the Omega symbol is printed when it should be a chrome part. Other than that, it's pretty good. I still think Andrew's is better, but i could be biased, as i have that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I am confused. lol King says 42MM for the orange and 40MM for the black in her TRC threads. I emailed her inquiring the black one and she said 45MM including crown. Edited April 9, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLiNK Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I emailed her inquiring the black one and she said 45MM including crown. That makes 42 mm w/o crown. Don't see any reason why they would produce different sizes based on the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I like the metal rims around her markers,.. they look the most accurate to me.. also did you notice the leather strap with the logo deployant ? Never saw that before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I wish we could see a review very soon of King's Planet Ocean. I'd like to read opinions about the logo, it doesn't seem like the genuine. Price is really good (Andrew's sells his PO at 270$ without additional bracelet).

eLiNK Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Has someone asked king whether the OMEGA logo on the dial is printed or in chrom? The close-ups are not good enough. My impression is that the Trusty's version is overall more precise. At least, as far as the exteriour looks are concerned. But the logo placement is a real eyesore, from my point of view.

Yes you're right: Trusty's PO has two main flaw - logo position - plastic ring for the movement Also, it's pretty dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious question would be if it is possible to get rid of the flaws at reasonable price. Is Omega's dial available? Would it fit in the watch? Anyone?

I dunno, there are different versions of PO replica so it's a bit risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher71 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I would like to get a PO and I now see that "replica-zone" is offering his/her ETA PO for what seems like too little money in light of the description. SEE LINK --> http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=2476 Anyway, I am a bit skeptical of new dealers, so, to all the PO experts, is replica-zone's version really the better/perfect version (lol, I cant believe he said "perfect")? If so, I will have the pull the trigger and become a test subject for our new dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understood, the version he's offering for $150 doesn't have a sapphire glass. There's an option to buy the watch with sapphire glass but that means the glass probably doesn't have AR coating.

Flaws that I can see on his version "HE" value - Bold font RIM and color on Bezel "Planet Ocean" Engraving on the back. It should be a larger P and O. Crown is too small. Wrong Bracelet. No sapphire glass. Edited April 10, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher71 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 thanks all. I guess replica-zone's is far from "perfect" then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 This is the one I got from Andrew. Pretty close to perfect imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Looks identical to Joshua's to me. No, i don't think so. H valve in Joshua's seems lower and logos are different. I prefer King's. Does anyone want to be a tester? I am confused. lol King says 42MM for the orange and 40MM for the black in her TRC threads. I emailed her inquiring the black one and she said 45MM including crown. What a mess!! I'm interested in the black bezel but 45mm it's too large for me. I wonder what's the right total diameter of the genuine PO.
