Planet Ocean 42 mm Noob (mini) review

Recommended Posts

elmerlo

I fell in love with this one when I tried extensively the Gen. After CNY was over, I ordered it from Marvellous and it came yesterday.

 

It's simply stunning. The feel is the same that I had with the Gen, no major flaws, and one thing I liked, the great weight: 183 grams for my wrist, where the Rollie Sub is at 145.

 

What else to say? A great release! :)

 

I owned the Titanium 45mm earlier, and sold it. For tiny wrists like mine this one is perfect, on the other hand, I never felt comfortable with the 45, even if I like large watches like the IWC Big Pilot.

The 45 mm looks a tad more accurate. The grey ring circling the bezel should have a small gap between the crystal, the 45mm has this the 42 mm doesn't.

OP did edit the title after my post. When I've asked the question word noob was missing from the title.

looks great, want to add more info on the quality/build? Like does the winder screw in smooth like butter (A or Swiss), the He valve screw in/out (think it might on the noob), the open back, weight ect...? Would love to hear more, inc price/deal/rep

Hi, as I stated above: the feel when you have it in your hands is similar to the Gen. Of course you have compromises: the A2836 doesn't look exactly like the Omega 8500 and the small indices are not aligned perfectly when looked at with a loupe (can be fixed in minutes, I guess).

 

The He valve has a stopper, so you don't lose it. What else? Weight was mentioned and for the price, head off to Marvellous Replica in the TD section and deal with "M" directly. :)

Hey OP, not to hijack this thread but I had a comparison question. Would you say the band weight between the Omega and your Rolex are similar? Ive stayed away from the buying another Rolex rep because the band on the one I had always felt cheap and light. But maybe that's how real Rolex bands are?!?

Hi there,

 

the Omega band feels solid, no problems about that. As per Rolex: the "old" subs pre-ceramic, had very cheap bands, especially the clasp: like a Coke can. The ceramic have good bands, I even ripped one apart to fit it into my Seiko Monster, with a gorgeous result. :)

I can tell you that my sub noob v5 bracelet is not felt as solid as CrPO from noob. Noob CrPo is very gen like in my opinion.

I am thinking of pulling the trigger myself. I missed out on a NOOB LMPO and am still kicking myself for it. This one comes second to it. Does the ceramic change color depending on the light?
