putra Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 hi! i want to buy a rep omega planet ocean chronograph but i confuse because the subdial at 3,6,9 is too far from gen it's so different with a gen. is it ok? or is there any omega PO chronograph but the subdial isn't too far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 The subdial spacing is off because the rep uses the only automatic chrono movement that we have available to us, the 7750. I believe the gen movement is based on the ETA 2892 (If wrong please let me know), which has a much more compact subdial spacing. I believe there is a quartz rep that looks more accurate, but the case is 42mm not 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Its a nice watch, and one that I will pick up at some point. Just not the most accurate. You will find this same problem with most of the Omega chrono watches with the 3-6-9 subdial configuration. If you are concerned more about authenticity, look at the new Speedmasters with subdials at 6-9-12. Those ones are visually more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 The Tag is a much better rep. However, if you like this watch better, go for it. Guys get obsessed with perfection sometimes and some very nice watches get ignored. Consider that the old factory Speedmaster Moonwatch had the exact same subdial inaccuracy as this one, yet it is one of the most sought after reps out there.
