confuse..

[putra]

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

[andreww]

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.

so is it alright if i buy it?

or i should search another omega watch?

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.

which one is better?

tag heuer carrera chronograph rep or this omega PO?

because i must sell my tag heuer carrera for this omega PO chronograph

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.
