robznet 0 Posted June 7, 2011 Hi Guys, received my planet ocean 45mm today from silix, I posted some images from them in my first post on here but I decided to try some macro shots of the actual watch with my little Sony DSC! After many f words, b words, and general sentences including wtf, I managed to get some shots that are not too bad. Must say service from silix-prime has been fantastic, great communication and 6 days delivery from Hong Kong to the UK, excellent packaging and a great watch for the money. Only downside is it's the first 45mm i have owned, looks great on the wrist but getting used to the extra weight and bulk is going to take some time!!! Bollocks! - sorry about the last pic - that was an outside practice shot of one of my daily "it it breaks I don't care - fuckin bin it" watches. Shit - I'm embarassed now!!!

robznet 0 Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for looking guys! Not too good on the photography front as yet though - I will practise and try not to swear too much as I do!!! If the second pic is good it's purely by accident I assure you! Thank you on the comment about it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,826 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) 2nd one is nice. I got the same watch a while back. I really like it and wear it all the time even though I've order "better" reps. Edit: And it is more comfortable and looks better I think on this ebay Nato strap. Edited June 7, 2011 by NCRich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kolchak 17 Posted June 7, 2011 Watch & pics looks great. I must be half a sleep because i thought the watch cost ~$10! Sorry if I'm thread crapping Robznetere, but I'm pulling my pants down.... anyone know if their is a model difference between a PO having the wonderful triangle patterned dials & words "Planet Ocean" engraved on clasp & case back? Just different factories/reps? Wish my PO had a patterned dial.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,826 Posted June 8, 2011 Is this the PO that is on sale for $29.99? Yes, I've been wearing it for 2 months now. Hasn't died yet:-) I'll make no claims other than that. I got the sea dweller too. Both work fine and are really good for the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
