Noobs new omega....

Recommended Posts

lakeviral

Just recieved my first rep - a planet ocean 42mm from Andrew at trusty time. I'm new to this forum and reps, and I've been devouring as much info as I can get my hands on over the last few weeks.

 

I've always loved Omega watches. My dad gave me a Seamaster Professional 300m as a high school graduation present. He now wears a Rolex Sub, which is nice, but I prefer the smp.

 

After spending a few weeks reading up on movements and reps in general I pulled the trigger on a planet ocean with orange bezel and the Asian 2836 mvmt. It arrived from China about ten days after placing the order, still running and looking perfect. Pics below....

Very nice. After the Speedmaster, PO is my favorite. I see some spending in the near future.

The PO is a 42mm Noob CrPO and it's one of my favorite watches (my second CrPO, in fact). On Omega rubber:

As far as I know Andrew doesn't sell a lot of Noob watches, and I think you have a BP with a "swiss" 2824, not an asian 2836. The Noob's movement is decorated with perlage as well.

 

Either way nice watch.

DearFellow Noob,

 

Please provide me with the Trust Time site and contact Andrew.

 

I visited the site and saw a watch I "need" and want to make sure that I reached the right site (there are so many copy sites out there...)

 

Thank you!

Not sure about the orange bezel. Can't decide 8f I really like it or really don't.

I didn't like it at first either, but it's grown on me over the years. Popping nice color, but not for everyone obviously :)

Yeah those CrPOs are great reps, eventually i need to get another one or two some day as i currently have none

 

And the orange bezel provides enough color without going overboard, i only feel like it would be cleaner with chrome numbers instead of red/orange (whatever color it technically is), but thats such a minor thing

I have one by the regmaster. Everything is great about it except the dial looks a bit dull. Takes the shine off what is otherwise a great watch......

Word to the wise: the MOMENT you feel any sort of stickiness or resistance when winding have it serviced. I have had multiple 2836's start to get a little wonky and eventually become repairable. One day I will wake up and notice the movement stuck, and I shake it, then all good for a while. But make no mistake it'll be trash within a couple months after you notice this symptom.
