The Ultimate Omega Planet Ocean - Really?

[trustywatchguy]

Dear guys,

I was working with my watchsmith over the past few days on the Omega Planet Ocean 42.5mm Swiss ETA and managed to get the ultimate version OUT today! The pictures were taken few hours ago and has a spanking new Omega PO Dial with matching bezel.

What's NEW:

Omega PO Dial with logo placing at exact location

The wordings are also much slimmer in general

Matching bezel with Dial

The other parts are still the same. The bracelet is still the best version around - heavy and has the correct font of "Planet Ocean"

Please enjoy and let me have your views

Oh yes.. if you want to ask the price.. email me

ANDREW

Andrew-

Is this a one of a kind, or will these changes be implemented across the line in production?

[eLiNK]

Andrew, you are the man.

Is the black version fixed too?

I had the pleasure of working with my watchsmith on the Orange and now we have also gotten the black version ready. The cost is higher on our side as I have to pay for the new dials and also the workmanship of the watchsmith but if it is worth it, I will implement across the board for all the NEW POs - 42.5mm

What do you think?

I only had time to work with it after reading reviews about what I was selling and also talking to some of the guys in the forums. BigRedJoe was also discussing with me recently over this. =)

Well, it's only slightly more expensive but you get what I think is WORTH every single cent spent.

[BilboBaggins]

I think its brilliant for a dealer to read his reviews, then act on the feedback gained.

Thanks very much for taking the time and effort to improve this rep...well done Andrew!!

That's definitely the way to go.

And it pays too.

[rek001]

Andrew, well done!

Is this PO available with black rubber strap?

[takashi]

I may be wrong... Are you sure it's the 42 mm version? If yes then the logo is too far off this time round. Correct me if I am wrong.

EDIT: Position is correct... just that it look smaller to me.

Very nice work Andrew! Glad to see the reviews on the board are taken into consideration!

[ubiquitous]

What do I think? I think I might be making an order for one of these sooner than later, that's what I think!

[Richard Tracy]

Great Work Andrew ! We are truely lucky to have you ....

Any word on a 45mm swiss ?

[Savvy]

Excellent job Andrew!

I am really looking at a gen right now for $2200 ...

... but since I saw your new post, I might just have to get yours ... MIGHT !

Anyway of testing the Water Resistance on this? It doesn't have to be 2000 ft

I'll be happy with 30 m

I believe the positioning corresponds more to the 45 mm version

but still it is a major improvement over the previous kinda defective placement (which was hit and miss).

....... 42 mm

Andrew, this version looks great. As you know I am looking at the Orange PO for a birthday present for my son. I will order this version next week. Great work!

[miquel]

I think this commitment Andrew has to our community is a definite asset. Having ordered from Andrew a couple of times, I know his stardards of customer service are high. Offers like this solidify that.

He is setting a new standard.

Great work Andrew!!

I hope price ain't too high for that improvement.

[mikellem]

Andrew, very nice work...Keep this up and we appreciate your open ears.

Thanks Again Andrew.!

[rek001]

OK, so isn't the logo a bit too high if this is the 42mm version?

Isn't it supposed to be just above the word Omega?

Also, Andrew, can you answer this question, you mentioned the dial matching the bezel, in what way?

All in all, thought, this is one FINE watch.

[TimeBandit]

Great job...

Actually, the logo placement was one of the main reasons for not moving forward on this purchase.

The other was the length of the Minute hand? I cant really see the pics that well, was that addressed also?

Thanks

The logo is now too far from the word...but that's better than too close though.

[ryaku]

I took a careful look at pics and i got the feeling that the dial is from the asian version. Try to look at the writing.

Am i wrong?

It looks like the Asian dial + 4th Gen Omega logo.

That's it!
