MAHLER Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I do not know precisely why... among all my other reps... I love most lead to wrist the Planet Ocean. Beginning left me indifferent but time after time I have fallen in love with the PO's aesthetics. Has spent more than a year since I bought my Planet Ocean... which has finally replaced the 42mm's generation... And yet today the UPO is my favorite rep... so I decided to open this thread... inspired by the By-Tor's Tribute to Rolex Submariners to relaunch a small tribute at the PO... and c'mon members where is your PO?

andreww Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've got three of them! Love the PO as well. Here is my Ziggified Silix version on rubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks, MAHLER! You're making my decision easy......I'm definitely getting one! Who's got the better rep of these? or all dealers here have the same quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thank you... I have 2 collection, so far my fav is 42.5mm 4th gen version. I will get the crystal double sided AR coated someday: Or... this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks, MAHLER! You're making my decision easy......I'm definitely getting one! Who's got the better rep of these? or all dealers here have the same quality? The best? it's difficult to give an answer ... the factory improve them all but no version is perfect because all have some flaws ... for the 45mm If I'm not wrong I've the 2nd generation of the UPO with incorrect "feet" on logo... the 3nd generation (the silix's version) have no feet logo but incorrect font,datefont and 6 o'clock marker... another version is the Lite-1 and the Lite-2 UPO both with the asian clone movement (the Lite-1 is gold plated)... almost all our dealers have one of these... if you know your dealer you know the rep ... I believe that other members will be happy to share their experience and help you with more information to make your choice !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiparks Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 sadly I don't own this watch...looks to be some sort of ultimate GMT version...... Adndreww...are yours all UPO's or different generations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Adndreww...are yours all UPO's or different generations ? The one on Rubber is the Silix version which is slightly different. The two on SS bracelets are UPO Lites, basically UPOs with a DG4813 movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAHLER Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Here's my second PO... These are an examples of a PO on vacation and relaxed! Edited May 30, 2008 by MAHLER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Maybe if possible suggest at Omega to introduce some variation? Defintely love this combo. I bought a green insert on eBay. Might swap the orange for the green. Gotta have fun with the reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I love it!!!! If we see this at the next BASELWORLD we'll hit them for copyright infringement!! Back on topic, I have three and a half PO's (the half works, but has no pearl, and the bezel is loose), and have two of them in constant rotation.

RobbieG Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I don't know how I missed this thread. I too love this watch. A true staple in the collection and always will be. The UPO is also a historic triumph in the rep world. I'm partial to the 42MM size though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slask111 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Great photos, and what a great watch. I just need to get one. But where is the pics of the UPO special edition 2005 black crown with orange numerals? I need pics of it, its stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nleap Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey all! beautiful watch! I just got one. Will have to post it soon! I was wondering where I can buy a rubber bracelet for my 4th gen PO? I love the way it looks on rubber! Bought it from Josh and a week later the pearl fell out of it... waiting for a bezel insert.
