dator 0 Posted January 29, 2013 They look really good. Wonder what they've done with the case-back ... if anything(?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Higs 73 Posted January 29, 2013 The first thing I need to say (and I've said it before) is that I don't really understand the Omega range and the reps available very well. However a little while ago I bought a cheap/cheerful blue 'Ceramic' PO because I liked the look of it and understanding that it almost certainly isn't the greatest (closest to gen) rep out there. Just for my on-going education, can I ask the experts to cast an eye over it and tell me: where mine 'fails' as a rep against the gen where these new reps are better Cheers, Higs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Looks really good, 42mm with silver numbers for me please. Now we need to take bets on price. I say it will be $328.. or more. Edited January 29, 2013 by Crusader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

not_finbar 0 Posted January 29, 2013 I think there are reps and gens in the Trusty Time pic. You can spot the reps with the numbers being too close to the inner edge of the bezel (maybe...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no anti-counterfeit mark on the caseback, the bezel is all wrong and so is the blue colour. HOWEVER, I really like that model, almost pulled the trigger on one a couple weeks ago.

Just for my on-going education, can I ask the experts to cast an eye over it and tell me: where mine 'fails' as a rep against the gen where these new reps are better Cheers, Higs The tells are: Gen has square markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 Numbers 6 and 9 are joined up on gen, not with a gap like the previous Planet Oceans Gen bezel has a coin edge like the PO42, not like the scalloped edge of the 45.5 Gen crown has chunkier appearance to it, whereas yours is just a PO crown. The pearl goes without saying These are all rectified on this version. I still like yours though mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaggyPants 0 Posted January 29, 2013 I think there are reps and gens in the Trusty Time pic. You can spot the reps with the numbers being too close to the inner edge of the bezel (maybe...) That's because you're looking at two models, the 42 and the 42.5. On the 42, the numbers are nearer to the inside edge compared to the 45.5. It is a bit of a tell, because they should be nearer to the outside edge on both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cedric 0 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Is it just me or have I seen a post recently here or the other rwg where someone has one already? Bracelet let it down in that thread from what I can remember. Not as good as the V5.112233565411254411 No, it was the liquid metal PO, not the ceramic, and from the look of the pearl it was a cheaper rep. Liquid metal PO is ceramic. http://www.puretime.co/product/planet-ocean-42mm-ss-black-ceramic-on-bracelet-a2836/ Edited January 29, 2013 by cedric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cedric 0 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Sorry for my stupidity. Liquid metal is ceramic but in limited edition ? Or it is an other thing ? Without the Liquid metal inscription in back and Zr02 in dial ? Edited January 29, 2013 by cedric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Can't wait to see some decent pics of these, just hope their awesome right from the start, hope they get the bracelet right as it's a cracker Edited January 29, 2013 by sgtguk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razorblade 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Have to say the initial pictures look fairly accurate to gen, i'm pumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaggyPants 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Ceramic on left, Liquid metal on right: The Liquid Metal is basically a standard Planet Ocean with a ceramic bezel, glossy dial and red "Seamaster" logo. The Ceramic has new crown and He valve, square markers at 12,3,6 and 9, joined up 6 and 9 numbers, and chunkier hands. The bezel edge is the "coin" type, but has less teeth than the LM and PO42. It is similar style to the PO42, but has 60 teeth on both available sizes, like the normal PO45.5. The second hand is very different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
