BP Ceramic Seamaster Planet Ocean: Pearl centred in newer versions?

Recommended Posts

User2007

Hey, guys.

 

Is there anybody who has a BP Seamaster Planet Ocean Ceramic 45mm model and/or knows, if the "newer" versions, which are available now, have a correct centred pearl. I saw many "older" pictures from 2013 like this:

Seems very bad centered.

 

Thanks,

Andy

I have one black CrPO 45 mm, about a month old. It is not better than the one you have. But I believe I read somewhere that the pumpkin maybe are better, it's not ceramic so it's easier to drill in.

I believe the 42mm has improved in terms of the pearl at least. Looks very gen like and better than the noob. Shame about the rest of the watch...

I have a noob version. Whether your pearl is off or not, it looks way off. The noob version did a pretty good job with this piece.

I have the blue 45mm Ti model and it's pretty much perfect.

My 42 was perfect it was the BP and had the pearl moved the quality of the ceramic spot on and the tube threads lengthened.DSC_0561_zps37f6247e.jpg

Thanks for your replies. I have now QC pictures of my final ordered watch..(45mm version)

I hope in reality it will look much better than on the picture...seems to be more on the right?! :mfbat:

I'd question the pearl if I were you, cause for rejection, if you feel strongly enough, and also QC pic's are not allowed so might want to adjust the post ;)

Maybe my standards are low. That pearl looks really good to me.

It is glued, but it is seated in a hole in the bezel insert

Okay so it's a QC on the bezel itself then?

Yes, I got a new bezel insert from the TD I bought my CrPO because I had the black one and it started to fade
