boneyjr 1 Posted November 12, 2012 To the best of my knowledge, this is the first rep of this model reviewed on the forums. I just took delivery of it over the weekend, and I am very pleased. (it was in the hands of our very own HWG for about 24 hours before I snatched it up from him.) This is a rep of the limited edition liquidmetal model (only 1948 gens made). This is from puretime at the following link: http://www.puretime.co/product/planet-ocean-42mm-ss-black-ceramic-on-bracelet-a2836/ The dial and bezel have a lovely gloss finish (accurate to the gen) that really dresses it up, and the Omega emblem is very cool. The blue lume isn't bad at all -- not superlume, but better than your average rep. At 42mm, I don't mind the smaller size; however, I wish the lugs were 22mm instead of 20mm.

LightGeek 25 Posted November 12, 2012 Enticing. How's the caseback inking? The one at Puretime looks pretty shabby for a $250+ rep. ________________ Sent from my mobile device. Please excuse the brevity of this message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanweekiat 0 Posted November 12, 2012 The crown look very big! A little too big perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted November 12, 2012 The case back isn't bad at all, but the crown and He valve do sit a bit high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwt 11 Posted November 13, 2012 Thank you for posting the pictures. Do we think most of the trusted dealers are going to start stocking this? Might email Reg as he is in Thailand at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r11co 0 Posted November 18, 2012 *yawn* Another PO rep. These are getting more boring than the latest, greatest, better than the 500 previous sub. POs are like Toyota Corrolas - too many varients and none of them interesting anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northcountryboy1976 0 Posted January 4, 2013 *yawn* Another PO rep. These are getting more boring than the latest, greatest, better than the 500 previous sub. POs are like Toyota Corrolas - too many varients and none of them interesting anymore. awesome 5th post, tool. my thoughts exactly! anyway, what is the bezel like? I watched the video on the Omega website showing the process to make the liquidmetal bezel, obvioulsy the reps aren't going to be forged/pressed etc like this. So how is the bezel made on the rep? Alloy with a gloss over? Does it seem pretty hard wearing? The only thing thats put me off the original version is the metal bezel that i would end up scratching! I really love this gen version of this watch but not too sure about the rep being that accurate, especially the bezel. Please tell me I'm wrong! Might be worth waiting for a year or so to let them iron out any probs, v2 or v3 at some poingt I'm sure!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northcountryboy1976 0 Posted January 4, 2013 I forgot to ask about the case back, will they rep a clear back as per gen with a cloned/decorated mvt at some point do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobarch 0 Posted January 4, 2013 I would seriously suggest sending that watch to Jeff and have him do a side by side comparison review..... One thing i notice right off the bat is the rep not having a clear caseback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
court 12 Posted January 4, 2013 I would seriously suggest sending that watch to Jeff and have him do a side by side comparison review..... One thing i notice right off the bat is the rep not having a clear caseback. The case also doesn't extend into a partial crown guard which is much more of a tell in normal wear.

boneyjr 1 Posted January 7, 2013 The gen case back isn't see through.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caliper 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Yeap, HE valve a bit off, crown bigger and case dimension a bit off, still, this is the first of many to come with later improvements, this things are hard to notice with the naked eye. Still a beautiful piece, I want one! enjoy it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfa147 13 Posted January 8, 2013 Decisions, decisions... go for an orange PO now, or wait for a later version of this one? Of course, the obvious answer is both ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
