akelly Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Maybe shipping takes longer than I expected....

Alextor Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Dying to get mine! I'm wondering what the quality is compaired to all the 4th gen's out there. Anyone? I got mine last week. It's just great. Feels and weights the same as the gen. Took it to a local watchsmith to resize the bracelet and could not tell the difference from the dial/ face. The bracelet pins and a bit tricky and that's when he said "that's weird, the omega pins have indications on what side comes out first". He was impressed by the quality of the piece (needless to say he is a friendly watchsmith) The AR coating (which can be a bit light) is a small issue and was not pointed out. The orange color is spot on and the bezel is tight and nicely finished. The movement is swiss ETA so for the money, it is a piece one must consider. The minor flaws are really petite, slim, tiny -like the pins on the bracelet-. I'm trying to get a 42mm PO in black. Check the thread in dealer review... Just my non-educated two cents... Cheers Alex

faonmyea Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 how hard is it to resize the bracelet yourself? if i get another rep this would be it. i can just get a tool right?
retep Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 how hard is it to resize the bracelet yourself? if i get another rep this would be it. i can just get a tool right? Easypeasy, get one of these from narikaa and your set.
cwai02 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Easypeasy, get one of these from narikaa and your set. The ban remover is not good enough to remove Omega's bracelet pin. I suggest you to bring it to a local watchsmith. It costs $2-$5 to resize the bracelet.
retep Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 The ban remover is not good enough to remove Omega's bracelet pin. Are you sure because i did it and it worked like a charm. Not only with this omega. regards retep
Alextor Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 is the bracelet 22mm like the gen or 20mm like all the other 45mm reps????? 20 mm... That's why I did not even try to get a leather band for it...it would have looked hybrid...I may get the 42mm PO but there is no 5th gen versions out yet. Cheers A
Alextor Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 how hard is it to resize the bracelet yourself? if i get another rep this would be it. i can just get a tool right? Very hard to remove those pins...assuming one figures out the direction...take it to a local watchsmith, spend $7-10 and save the grief!! Cheers Alex
sevomd Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 On the 45mm PO I have from PT, there is no specific direction for the bracelet. It comes out either way. I had no trouble pushing the pin out with the link remover and then reinserting the pin again. Eddy

pman Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 I lost my links when I had the band resized. Honestly, I think my wife accidentally threw them out. It's gotten hot here and I would like to add a link or two. Would anybody be interested in selling/giving me their extras? I checked with my dealer and he doesn't have any extra. It would be greatly appreciated. pman
