enrm6 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Just got my first rep. A 45 PO from Ruby. It is fantastic - just want to get a rubber strap now! and a shot with my gen Seamaster that I have worn everyday for the last 11 years.
r11co Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Nicely aged lume on the SMP!! Also, interesting to see the misalignment on the datewheel. Fussy newbs take note!!
who Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 nice smp you got there. looks like the date wheel is line up better on the rep
b16a2 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Nice pictures! What movement is in the seamaster, is it the quartz or the auto version?
lovepanerai Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Nice Planet Ocean - have you noticed though that the hour marker on the 12 is crooked?

Fireman_Fred Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Nice Planet Ocean - have you noticed though that the hour marker on the 12 is crooked? Don't you just hate it when people do that !!
lovepanerai Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Don't you just hate it when people do that !! why?? - this way he has a chance to send it back to Ruby in case he didn't notice
Fireman_Fred Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 why?? - this way he has a chance to send it back to Ruby in case he didn't notice My comment was said with tongue in cheek !!
enrm6 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Posted May 22, 2007 Nice pictures! What movement is in the seamaster, is it the quartz or the auto version? I deliberately went with the quartz. Partly accuracy and partly robustness as it takes a lot of hammer. Not sure they are really justified reasons but the jeweller recommended it too.
enrm6 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Posted May 22, 2007 Nice Planet Ocean - have you noticed though that the hour marker on the 12 is crooked? Looking at the hotos it does look like it might be crooked but you can't see it in the real thing. In all the photos I have seen on the net at least one of the hour markers looks odd. I think it is partly optical illusion. As for sending it back - you must be joking, it is mint. There are at least as many 'little issues' with a genuine watch.
TeeJay Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Nice pictures! What movement is in the seamaster, is it the quartz or the auto version? It's the quartz version. The tell is that the 3 marker is larger than it is on the automatic
r11co Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 It's the quartz version. The tell is that the 3 marker is larger than it is on the automatic Yeah, plus it doesn't say CHRONOMETER on the dial....
Keyhole Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Great looking watch. We can all be so lucky to receive one first try with no issues!
Kollektor Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Definitely one of the nicest and most accurate ones out there. Enjoy it. Cheers.
predfan2001 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) I have the same series of PO. It's my favorite watch and I hardly ever take it off. The bad thing is that after you get used to the size and weight, most other watches feel like ladies models. I've had mine several months with no problems and I've only had to adjust the time once so I guess it's pretty darn accurate. The only flaw (other that the feet on the Omega logo) is that only about half of the tip of the second hand is painted, but it's barely noticed. Edited June 26, 2007 by predfan2001

The only flaw (other that the feet on the Omega logo) is that only about half of the tip of the second hand is painted, but it's barely noticed. That is so true. I put my Submariner next to the Planet Ocean, and it did indeed look like a lady's watch by comparison. I also went into the local AD and tried on the SMP 2554.50. It looked ridiculously small, so I think it's safe to say I won't be buying myself one of those (even if it's just as a non-wearer in the collection) The 42mm Planet Ocean doesn't look so bad, nor did my 2531.80 SMP (waiting for that to be returned before I can completely compare them) but, both those watches are larger than a Submariner... To use in 'int0rw3b' slogan: 45mm FTW
