Richard Tracy Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 They look gorgeous.... can't wait for Black... {which he said will be here in 7 to 10 days}... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...t=0entry46901
cwai02 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) It looks quite accurate. The orange color looks quite dull though, maybe just the pictures. The clasp is missing "Professional" engraving. Planet Ocean engraving on the casback is also wrong. Missing an orange line around the triangle. Edited May 15, 2006 by cwai02
Chronus Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Should the P and the O of the Planet Ocean on the case back be larger than the rest of the letters? I'm not sure. I can't remember if there should be a border around the triangle on the bezel too. Someone with PO expertise, please let me know, thanks.
By-Tor Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) Read it carefully. It says "45mm including crown". I believe this the same 3rd generation PO that I briefly owned. I reviewed the watch in the old RWG (check my signature for link, it's reposted here too). The only thing that bothered me with this watch was the pale orange bezel color and too dark datewheel font. But then again it had the minute hand in correct length, heavy weight and very convincing, solid feel. It's very good replica watch but not quite as good as Andrew's 4th gen.

Precious Time aka PT Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 The clasp is missing "Professional" engraving. Planet Ocean engraving on the casback is also wrong. Correction Friend, Original does not have professional engraved on Clasp!
cwai02 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Correction Friend, Original does not have professional engraved on Clasp! Correction: 42.5MM doesn't have Professional engraved on clasp. 45MM does have professional engraved. http://cgi.ebay.com/Omega-Seamaster-Planet...1QQcmdZViewItem
Precious Time aka PT Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Correction: 42.5MM doesn't have Professional engraved on clasp. 45MM does have professional engraved. http://cgi.ebay.com/Omega-Seamaster-Planet...1QQcmdZViewItem Yes my rep is 42.5 excluding crown, and 45mm including crown. So it is correct. Regards PT
AMK000 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 .... any AR coating on the crystal ??? From the pics it doesnt look like it does have AR. BTW: I am also aftwer a black bezel one.
r11co Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 We are going round in circles here! An identical thread was started a week or so ago on the same issue. This is NOT a 45mm model - read the small print carefully. It is the same 42.5mm model that PT has been selling for months now.

This is NOT a 45mm model - read the small print carefully. It is the same 42.5mm model that PT has been selling for months now. I can't comment on this being his latest model, though PT says it is... However..... 45mm including crown IS the large model... The 42.2 mm version is also including the Crown... I have had both models... So PT,... is this a New release ? If so I want one.... regardless of the triangle.... the current Asian 45mm model I have, though running great has a very bad crystal,.. and the HE valve is too low .. with this model I can do some switching between the two....
cwai02 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) RT, it is confusing. PT's version is indeed the smaller version. So, nothing new here... Andrew's 4th Gen version is still better. Edited May 16, 2006 by cwai02
Richard Tracy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 No Roy... I have the man sized Asian version sitting right here with my calipers.. it's 45mm including the crown... I had also the eta 42mm version... which was 42mm including the crown...{sold it..too small}
cwai02 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 I guess it's the way PT measures. If he measures from the case to crown, it's indeed 45mm. Anyway, I just bought some hands and crown on ebay. I ll see if I can put them on.
Richard Tracy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 Yes.. the HE valve is slightly off.. but the 45mm Asian version is sitting directly over the 10.. so PT's is better IMO... besides I have noticed that Omega moves the valve from time to time.. so sooner or later it may be accurate...
Richard Tracy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 Wow Roy,.. those are Great ! How much are they... also any available for the large size ? By the way don't you have a Genuine PO 42mm ?
cwai02 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 ya, I have the gen 42.5mm version and two 4th gen reps. The reason I bought a gen is that I want to use it for water sport when I go to Hawaii this summer. I ll probably sell it after that. It was $1400 from ebay. A very great deal imo. Maybe I ll keep it and sell the rep. The crowns are $35 for 4. The hands are about $60. I also bought some rubber gasket and Oscillating Weight.

Can you tell me.. what does your gen measure including crown ? I can't figure out how the replicas can be so far off from gen ...
cwai02 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Posted May 16, 2006 It's 45mm if you measure from the case to crown. The bezel is 40mm and the dial is 30mm. You can check my comparison here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=3459 I don't think there will be a good 45mm version. It won't be easier for them to make the date window right.

Richard Tracy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks Roy.. it clears this issue up... The case on the Asian larger model measures 44mm.. the crown is however countersunk into the case much more than the 42mm versions only peeping it's head out 1mm. I have a new camera that I'm trying to learn to use so I can show what I mean... Looking at PT's version the crown is out like your's so you are correct,.. indeed his version is the 42mm....
Richard Tracy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Posted May 16, 2006 Here is a photo of Andrews 45mm PO to show the counter-sunk crown... which is 45mm Including crown..
