Exploders pics of Narikaa's 42mm PO (modem burner)

[Exploder]

Hi there,

A month ago I just couldn't resist buying Narikaa's Omega Seamaster 42mm Planet Ocean non-chrono @ 95 USD incl shipping. Thought I'd post a few pics.

Narikaa's description:
42mm x 14.5mm
20mm Curved Link Bracelet
Double Button Deployant with Engraved 'Planet Ocean'
Diver's Extension
Sapphire Crystal with Simplex AR
Asian 21j Automatic Movement
120 click Bezel
High Quality Case / Bracelet Build
192grms

The flaws of this rep compared to the gen have been pointed out before, and to summarize:
Shorter hands
Omega logo (on the dial)
AR weak
Date aperture, date font too thin
Pearl
Crowns are too high
Bezel teeth
PLANET OCEAN on the case back (instead of PLANET OCEAN)

First a couple of pics of the GEN

And now over to my REP

Bracelet is heavy, smooth and with nice rounded edges. Clasp is good (new version with "Professional").

In summary, this is a really nice watch and great bang for the buck. Honestly, this is less than 100 bucks including shipping, and it looks awesome on the wrist. Of course if I hand it over to a fellow rep nerd he/she will notice the flaws, but I doubt anybody else will. It simply gives a very "gen feeling" when you handle it. Definitely worth the money.

I have the same one and really like it. Two things that could have made it much better is if they'd put the HE valve in the right place and put a smaller crown on it. Other than that, it's an awesome rep.

It was pointed out to me that my photo of the Gen 42mm PO was actually of a 45mm. I have now updated the frontal photo with that of a 42mm, see bezel teeth and size of crowns. For comparison here is a 42mm gen on the left and 45mm gen on the right. (Yes, I know the one on the left looks larger - but it isn't in real life... )

Thanks a lot for correcting me! (The pic on the right above was for a PO advertised as 42mm at the-Ian-place-in-UK-you-all-know, so I did not check the pics correctly.)
