cooi1977 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Hi guys Hope someone can assist with my query. I recently purchased a replica Omega Planet Ocean while holidaying in Malaysia. I need to resize/take out a few links so that the watch will fit my wrist nicely. Question is I am not sure how to do this and woud greatly appreciate it if someone can provide some assistance. Thanks. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted September 28, 2009 Hi - welcome to RWG! I'm not an Omega expert, but I think the PO bracelet uses pins rather than screws (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!). Take a look here: http://www.mywatchmaker.net/epages/sizingbracelets.htm Hopefully that should solve the problem - if you need the pin pusher, you can generally find them fairly inexpensively on eBay.

pollux1 3 Posted September 28, 2009 The easiest way is to take the watch to a friendly local watch repairer, NOT an authorized dealer. The pins in the Planet ocean are notorious for being hard to work on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed you have a few IWC rep watches on your list. I am finding it hard to locate a quality IWC replica... even in a place like Malaysia. Thanks again for your input.

Hey, I was nice, just think he doesn't realize I am still a member here since he said, "no real watch forum would have JohnG as a member." I can't post at RWI but I can read there....
