digitalnrg Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi, have people being getting these reps for 65 euros as digitalnrg said he did in post #7. 65 euros seems alot better deal than 100 US Dollars to me?? Has anyone tried these in the shower or dare i say it swiming? I believe a few very earlier orders were at $65 euro shipped when he was still in the far far East. I'm however not suprised if the price has gone up since people are ordering it like hotcake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalnrg Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The end of the rep Seamaster rubber usually has a little metal nubbin on the part that meets the watch which does not allow fitting to PO's....as in the pic. Mine doesn't have that weird sticking out metal part and i know for sure it's just a regular SMP rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestripes Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Regarding the rubber straps: I gotta have one! It's one of the few OEM rubber straps that actually looks good, IMO. Can someone definitively point out the best rubber strap and where to get it from? I'm confused about watch eden, etc. Is it a 20mm strap? Does it come with that little nub? I don't have a Dremel so that's a deal breaker. Do the non-nub straps stay on correctly? I don't know if this was properly addressed but I'm sure many are interested in the answer.

lowprofile Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 file it off if you dont have a dremel and file of slowly and put it on till you get the "right fit" not too much so it wont sag. Buy the 20mm for the 42.5 PO watcheden has it for 45 less 20 but have not seen a black one on his site- got this info from forum members too but have not pulled the trigger since i dont know if ill get the black one or orange one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get buff Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 My PO makes crazy TICK TICK TICK TICK or whirring sounds if I give it a good shake. The movement seems unaffected, though. Anyone else hear it? Maybe, like a case of the clap, it will go away with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalnrg Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Couple more shots of my rep rubber. I seriously prefer this over the bracelet that comes with this PO. It feels very comfortable and looks more like gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numptyj Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Couple more shots of my rep rubber. I seriously prefer this over the bracelet that comes with this PO. It feels very comfortable and looks more like gen. got mine put onto rubber today and got the strap that came with it put onto my PO chrono. They were taking ages to put it on in this little watch booth, like 15 mins lol and the guy came up to me and was like, we are having difficulty because it is a copy as the spring bars are bent? :S so they made the holes bigger and put thicker spring bars in. Bad thing was though that when I picked it up there was a chunk taken out of where the zero on the "50" is on the bezel. Not too noticeable but at least it didn't happen with a gen, only a $100 rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Really? Is there a FAQ or something that describes this part of the clockwork? I really don't know what a rotor is... It's a weighted wheel which spins with the movement of your wrist thus winding the watch...hence automatic movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 perhaps Reg can hire Michael Phelps as his official "Narikaa" Omega 42mm PO spokesman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givemestella Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 So far so good and amazing service from reg. Mine arrived as promised. Happy with watch seems a good deal and the price is right. One thing i wasn't expecting though was that the bezel does not rotate at all. Does anyone elses? are they all superglued on?
