jleef Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Sent an email regarding the black version of this before I place and order, I wait in anticipation for Narikaa to return to UK so can deal with him and soon have one of them on my wrists! Ditto, I get the feeling he's going to be an extremely popular guy as soon as he lands on UK soil again
jleef Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 rhack1, how do you think these would hold up against water? Have you taken a look at the seals inside the case, or run them through any sort of pressure test? I doubt my reps would ever get wetter than a splash of rain but it'd be nice to know that one of my "seamasters" at least is worthy of being submerged in the sea! And at the price these are going for I'd feel fairly comfortable wearing one in the pool, waterproof test successful of course...
hackR Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 sorry...i don't have the skills or tools to test this... i usually take my watches off in water...
kbh Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 guys -- this is a $100usd watch that is very nice - not replimaniac spot-on to the gen...geez... seriously, tho, gen hands can be bought for under $40usd -- so if you hav the concern, go this route...and then you still hav a freakin nice watch for less than $150usd!... R- Sorry, the gen hands won't fit on the 21J movement. Only on the ETA clone movement which isn't this one. Also, Not sure but I believe the $95 price was only while he was in Bangkok.
If you see Kay Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Is this PO better than the cartel boys? Or is it the same one? I too noticed that the seconds hand is a bit short, but at that price, who cares!!!! I think this might be next in line for me. I'll have to put my 2nd Rollie on hold now....
digitalnrg Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 My 2 POs current sitting at postal office. Dumbass postal guy rather left a pick-up notice than knocking on my door.
numptyj Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Sorry, the gen hands won't fit on the 21J movement. Only on the ETA clone movement which isn't this one. Also, Not sure but I believe the $95 price was only while he was in Bangkok. Reg quoted me
hackR Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 i'm shaking my head on the "hands issue"; and the other repli-maniac comments on a great approx $100usd watch... as best i can tell from various pix, the hands of the Narikaa PO are 2mm or so shorter...geez... it's not like there are Omega special op agents patrolling the world looking to lock up rep owners...
ben-omega-pritchard Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 This is my first post on the board so Hi everyone. I have just placed an order with Narikaa for these watches one in orange and one in black. I am just wondering what is the difference between these watches and the 4th gen that i have seen everybody raving about. Is it just the movement that is different or is it the strap or what. sorry if its a daft question. stunning looking watches by the way guys and hope you can help me start and expand my collection of watches. Thanks Ben
Luso Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 May we know how the insides of one of Narikaa
relox Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I guess many PO are coming... I bet in the next week we will see many pics of it posted here... I am almost sure the PO will be the star in the wristshot in a few days... Well, this was to "bump" the thread (hehehe!) and, above that, to tell people: "Show us your PO as soon as it arrives!!".
whitestripes Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I am just wondering what is the difference between these watches and the 4th gen that i have seen everybody raving about. Is it just the movement that is different or is it the strap or what. One important thing is I don't think Asian movement 42mm POs are still available.
whitestripes Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Does it have the gap between the endlink and first link?
relox Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 One important thing is I don't think Asian movement 42mm POs are still available. According to Narika and rhack1, who bought one from him and another one who is coming, those POs are still available. And they have a good price/value ratio, as rhack1 has stated here... I will have try, in fact, and will tell you about my watch. relox
Guest SliceMaster Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 One important thing is I don't think Asian movement 42mm POs are still available. GEEZ have you even read what this thread is all about ??? This thread is about Narikaas latest sell of OMEGA PO ASIAN 21J, most of us posting here has just bought one or even two of these so why do you make such an statement, thats just stupid, or do you think we all have bought something else??!!

hackR Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 nope...no gap between the end link and the first link... gotta tell you, this is a very comfortable watch...good weight, nice bracelet, low profile head...i wear my watches slightly loose - the head slides a little... Does it have the gap between the endlink and first link?
hackR Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 per someone in this post, the bezel on this model has the same design/teeth as the 45mm... this isn't a super-rep in the sense that it's repli-maniac perfect...it actually has some 45mm model "features" like "Professional" engraved on the buckle and the bezel design/teeth...but to me, i don't care...it's a great looking watch, with nice detail, nice quality at a great value price...this was the purpose of my initial thread...to rave - a bit - on a great watch at a great price... my black bezel model gets it's orange bezel'd sibling tomorrow or thursday...nice................
whitestripes Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Despite the inaccuracies, I'd love one of these and will order one soon . No end link gap? Check. Nice crown? Check. Nice!
relox Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not being an idiot. There are other 42mm POs with Asian movements that are not this one, and they've been around a while, and many variations have come and gone over time. The text on the dial doesn't look good on the ones I was talking about (Trusty sells/sold them for $118 I believe). The dial text was enough to turn me off, but the bezel had the correct teeth. This one has good font but bad bezel teeth. I was turned off the old 4th gen ETA PO because of the crown. There is a bug hubbub due to the fact that the font is good and so is the price. However, the bezel teeth being different is somewhat of an issue. Yes I know this is a 42mm Asian mov't PO, but there have been many generations of this and was wondering if all versions were still available. Sorry, whitestripes, it was not my intention to offend you or anyother fellow member of RWG. If I did, I apologize sincerely, knowing in advance that you will forgive my mistake. Regarding the watch, I think we could define it as a UPO in 42 mm: has the same feet in the crown, the "Professional" engraved in the SS bracelet... And, of course, it
jleef Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Just paid for mine so it should be on my sweaty anticipant wrist in the next day or two, will get the camera ready
ben-omega-pritchard Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I have just payed for mine too. I'll try doing my first ever pics and get them up for you as soon as they land. Ben
e6rnd Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 could u swap the movement out for a ETA and add genuine hands?
