Omega Seamaster franken ?

Recommended Posts

ruddz

Hi Guys, I´ve been thinking about a Omega Seamaster planet ocean for some time and never belived that you could get a good replica of it, I guess I was wrong.
Is there any where I can just buy a franken edition of it ?

With like a gen bracelet or insert ?

I am basically asking if there is like a modder or something out there that does things like this from order ?

Hi .... Welcome to RWG!

I owned many gen Rolex and Omega before I discover RWG and  high quality reps. I am an Omega fan and love Seamaster PO.

My recommendation is get a Noob LMPO V5 (LiquidMetal Planet Ocean) and just wear it. It's the best rep PO in the market. Upgrade gen bracelet is great add.

That´s a great watch you have! - Is that the LMPO V5 ?

Can I get these from the trusted watch dealers that i´ve bumbed into ?

About the bracelet, can I fit a gen bracelet on these watches problem ?

Mine is a Noob LMPO V4 (second release last Nov). The most current release is V5

Any TD can get you one.

The gen Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Steel 20mm Bracelet 1580/952 will fit. The end links and links are a little thicker than the LMPO but they fit nicely.

The rep bracelet on the LMPO is known for having issue with the clasp.

A member next door has a 'franken' V5 1580/952 bracelet with gen endlinks, gen clasp, and gen clasp links. He might sell it for a lot less the a complete gen bracelet.

I owned CRPO and LMPO from BP & noob. Both great.

Strangely the BP CRPO was board wide regarded as the not so 1:1 in comparison to noob. I think it sat taller. On the wrist it was my favourite.

My first ever watch was a UPO but the 45mm doesn't suit my wrist due to lug shape, so take that into account if you have a 7.25" or less wrist.

I think my wrist would disappear with a 45mm :) But how is the insert and dial on these watches ?

I´ve read that some "Franken" have genuine inserts or dials, does it make much of a diffrence ?
