Cashxxx Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 If you own a Omega PO 42mm then youll know that the end link and clasp do not sit right and are one of the biggest flaws of the watch. I finnally found a solution! Genuine parts from Ofrei. Ofrei sells "clasp attaching links" for the PO with the correct pin hole placement to prevent the end link from turning at an angle from the clasp thus leaving the bracelet perfect on the wrist. I paid about $55 including shipping for two of these; well spent cash in my opinion. Now the only flaws remaining are lume, double AR coating (not really sure about this after seeing gen), and serial on back. P.S. the end link is probobly the hardest link to remove on the bracelet. Have patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Pictures? I gave an 'informative' rating, because I always think the best of every newbie. But without pics, it is close to being spam -- that ID gives me the heebees too. Never mind. Photos will quell any doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashxxx Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I gave an 'informative' rating, because I always think the best of every newbie. But without pics, it is close to being spam -- that ID gives me the heebees too. Never mind. Photos will quell any doubts. Im hardly a newbie, just new to this forum. Normally I would agree about the pic comment, but this is kind of a hard one to demonstrate with pictures. I didnt take a pic of the gap in the bracelet before fixing it but if you own this watch then you know what I mean. The picture below of a gen bracelet can show you where the pin holes are on the rep (red). Just imagine that on the rep that last link before the clasp turns at a 90 degree angle to it as opposed to lying flush like the pic.

Guest avitt Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Cashxxx, thanks for posting. I am very eager to see pictures of your rep with this mod. I have long considered doing this, but held off, because I noticed a difference between the the location of the pin hole on the rep and the gen end links. (I was afraid that the rep bracelet would sit too low against the genuine end link.) Again, thanks for being the first...Please post pictures when you can.

Guest avitt Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Oops... Please disregard my last post. I thought that you were addressing the problem with the gap between the endlink, and the first link of the bracelet (the bigger problem, in my opinion).

JuiceMaker Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 isn't that a bracelet of the 45.5mm PO??? the clasp has "Planet Ocean" engraved on it... I believe that the 42mm doesn't have that engraving... this is a weird post... no pics of the actual bracelet after modification... weird!

cskent69 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 The 42.5 Planet Ocean bracelet is so many problems. The largest of which is the gap between the bracelet and ENDLINK which attaches to the case. The hole was placed i the wrong position. I have wondered if the problem could be fixed by new endlinks - but when I as at an AD and looked at the two - it is really the bracelet which is incorrect. This problem which is discussed in this thread is also a problem. The whole bracelet sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
