Estaban Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Check out the link. I was too slow on this one. Maybe Neil, Andrew or the other guys have been keeping these to themselves. I want one! http://www.watchtrader.cc/forums/index.php?showtopic=2391 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one! http://www.watchtrader.cc/forums/index.php?showtopic=2391 Looks very nice. ...but .... the crystal ??? From the photo it doesnt look anti-reflective. Any watch with a "reflective" crystal its like a watch with a mask. You cant see the true face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estaban Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Arrg. I always miss the small print. Still a pretty decent deal with all the goodies. Bring on the 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Etaban, I replied to this thread at the RWI while they were still available. I was ready to buy then I figured out its just another 42.5MM version I'm ready for a nice 45mm version w/ 22mm band, AR, and SAPPHIRE! Oh yeah and a curved bracelet.

King's version: http://www.cclv.net/OMEGA-100.htm Andrew's 4G version is still better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r11co Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 That was a custom job, substituting an ETA movement into a 45mm case that previously had an Asian movement in, if I remember correctly. The PO that is the subject of the thread doesn't look too clever. The bezel is an insipid shade of orange and there are two different types of engraving on the clasp - one laser etched and the other machine engraved.

AMK000 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Guys , I believe that all the POs (42s nad 45s) that we have seen so far have "reflective" crystal. The original of course it has anti reflective crystal. A week I was holding in my hands (duty free shop at an International airport) a gen PO , 45 mm with black bezel. It had a clear deep black face and you gould easily and clear see the dial (... I can also confirm that the OMEGA - the letter under the 12 oclock - its silver grey and not white). The rep it has a black shiny mirror efect on the black face that doesnt really let you see the true color of the black dial. What you see instead is what is reflected on the crystal of the watch (mirror effect) This is normally what happens with a "reflective" crystal. It is only me that bothers him this "effect" ??? The rest you think that is OK ??? .... who knows , maybe is me !!! Edited May 5, 2006 by AMK000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I have a spare case and crystal for my 45mm PO. I am tempted to get the crystal pressed out the case and send it to an opticians to be coated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sure that spare crystal fits the PO and your watchsmith can coat it , that will be the perfect solution by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
