I'm looking for a 42 mm PO black bezel, black face with a rubber strap.
In all honesty i think i'm willing to spend in the region of $150.
I'm hoping that will get me decent piece with reliable movement.

i've not seen one on any of the dealer sites with rubber strap.
have emailed a few folks and a few have said they don't have stock of this currently.

Wondered if any of you guys had a better idea of who i could speak to or if you can push me in the right direction.

Thanks

You might have to buy one on steel and just have the dealer add a rubber strap as an accessory. :)

I would ask WBK or Narikaa.

I purchased a 42mm Planet Ocean with bracelet from WBK as a Christmas present for a co-worker for $110.00.

Here is the link to the watch:http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/...62565?t=62565&highlight=planet+ocean+bracelet

I then purchased a 20mm Rubber dive strap from Narikaa for the same watch for $30.00. Here is the link for the strap: http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/122800-planet-ocean-straps/

Over all the completed watch was just over $160.00 with shipping. It looks great and my co-worker loves the outcome.

Hope this helps.

If you don't have to have an Omega strap, you might look at Maratac.
I put a black Maratac silicone strap with deployment buckle on my PO. It looks like they were made for each other and is really comfortable too. They can be found here:

Seriously I'm all for WBK and narikka and I've had some great deals off both but at the moment there is a better version available at a similar price and it would be insane to not go with that one.

I'm not too sure if any of the dealers here have it yet but josh at perfect clones has it and before I get accused of punting for josh :) I'm just offering the best advice I can give. I have narikaas porikaa and its great but if I was buying a PO NOW at that price point I would buy this one:

http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/126715-its-here-uvpo-42mm-with-dg4813-mvmt/

~ There are some better improvements on the old crop....better logo/bezel/pearl/AR/Lume etc.

Honestly and in danger of being critisized here but just because no trusted dealer has one here at the moment doesn't mean that the new PO's don't exist. and at a good price!

Yes you can get it off josh here:


http://www.1-pc8838.com/omse00257-planet-ocean-ssss-asian-4813-28800-p-9577.html

other versions there aswell...not sure about rubber strapped version!

Best thing to do is to get one with steel bracelet and ask them to supply you with a rubber strap aswell....always better to buy on steel strap if available and buy rubber/leather later.

It still won't cost you much more than $150 for steel model with additional rubber strap included

Hi,

I Like also this Omega PO in 42mm. for the same budget. Transport to Holland is only expensive and risky.. So any tips are welcome
