Omega PO 42mm - fantastic value and quality

[Monsoon Moon]

Just cannot believe the quality for such a low price - am very pleased with my buy. What do others think ?

 

[KBH]

I agree!

 

[Q5?]

Yes...It is a great value.
I have two, one on rubber for play the other is still on the bracelet for dress.

It's without a doubt the best Rep I own for the price. I would love to see one of these side by side with the '4th version' of the watch. I think it would have to be pretty amazing to be worth nearly 3x as much.

I only wish they made the UPO in 42mm!

 

[Q5?]

Both of mine came sealed up pretty nice as well.
No problems swimming with one of them.

Edit: I did have them checked before I took a dip as everyone else should. I did not want to give any readers a false sense of security

Excellent choice, my friend. I agree, amazing quality.

I chose the orange PO from Narikaa, and put it on a rubber strap. It's fantastic! That reminds me, I have to post some pics.

Now, if I could figure out how to remove three links so the bracelet will fit, It'll be even better. Getting those pins out so far demands a skill set that I do not possess. Searching for answers (yes, I actually use the search function :roll: ) was not encouraging. I may have to take it to my Russian watchmaker.

Enough about me. Congrats on your new watch

I had mine resized at a local (lower end jewellers). They did a fine job for a few quid. I wouldn't do to a high end Jewellers that sell Omega Gens, nor would I go to a bottom end market corner type place that only have a sledge hammer and screwdriver in their toolset.

Can I ask where you bought the rubber strap from?

LOL. I tried using a hammer on my pins. They still wouldn't come out!

I bought the strap with the watch from Narikaa.

Tommy Boy,
I picked up a watch bracelet adjuster kit from EBay for about £12.00. It comes with the 'pin pusher' tool that easily pushes out the pin so you can get the pliers on the pin for a little tug. It took me a few watches to get used to it but now I find that it's pretty easy to take links out now. Hope this helps.

This is the watch that introduced me to the amazing world of replicas.
Now I'm an addict

Thanks, MM. I have a device as you describe, and it's been effective on other bracelets. Even the Black Monster, with its sneaky little pin rollers. There's just something about this one. I tried WD40, too. Tried removing this pin, that pin; push it from this side, from that side... I'm taking it to Andrey The Russian Watchmaker. He can fix anything

Where did you get the watch from?

Seeing as this in Narikaa's section....................it must have been bought from Narikaa.

 

[R2D4]

No worries Dr. :wink: I put an edit in your post. We all do this from time to time.

I bought 2 of these (one orange and one black).

They are awesome watches.
