lefty47 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 Here are my pics of Andrew's 42mm Latest Version Planet Ocean. I am giving it to my son for his 30th birthday. An excellent piece for the young businessman, IMHO. I bought the wooden Omega Box on e-bay for $25. Everything they say about this version is true. It is an outstanding rep and the "smaller" size is fine with me. As always Andrew is a pleasure to work with and very accomodating. Sorry about the glare in the pics.
Chronus Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 How is the helium valve? Does it screw down tightly against the case or is there a very small gap from the case?
chris5264 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 very nice gift,,,particularly thoughtful that you got the box on ebay. good choice on the 42mm, the business world can be somewhat conservative.
fitmic Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I am sure your son will ber very, very happy about this gift!
kdo2milger Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 will you tell him its a rep? if he thinks its genuine, he could get very embarrased to the wrong person...
fitmic Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 will you tell him its a rep? if he thinks its genuine, he could get very embarrased to the wrong person... Duh! To make fun of your kids in embarracing sitiuations are the only fun dads have!

lefty47 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Responses to various questions & comments: 1. The Helium Valve looks good. I tightened it a bit, so it looks good to me. The only minor flaw is the spacing between the Omega Logo and the actual word Omega. Not a big deal. He won't even notice. 2. He will know it's a Rep, b ecause he knows that I sold my genuine Rolex Datejust 2 years ago when I started seriously collecting nice reps. He's not really a watch guy, but he knows I am and won't be surprised that I got him a Rep and one this nice should be a good one for him. 3. I agree that the 42 mm is better for business, although I usually wear a 47 mm PAM, but my business career is over. 4. The box set is a nice touch for a gift. Presentation is important. Bubble wrap and a padded envelope don't make much of an impression.

Wish I could get a gift like this Regarding the valve, how did you tighten it so it sits against the case?
lefty47 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Wish I could get a gift like this Regarding the valve, how did you tighten it so it sits against the case? OK, I looked at the valve with a magnifying glass, and there is a very minor gap between it and the case. Barely noticable to the naked eye. I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been brought to my attention. My son will never notice it and I won't bring it up. He will know it's a rep though and will send it to me for any future repairs. Very nice piece.
ubiquitous Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Excellent choice! Man... Wish my Dad gave me a watch for my birthday!
