Hi all,

I received my watch from Andrew at TrustyTime yesterday. Let me just say, I have had a great experience with the TrustyTime staff. All were prompt and readily available to contact. Almost every time I emailed them about my order, Andrew got back with me very shortly. Sometimes just minutes. Which is just fantastic. Also, it took less than a week after it got shipped to get to me, which is great if I say so myself. I live in the mid western U.S., which puts China practically half way around the world.

Now to the watch. I purchased the Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean Ceramic. (CrPO) 42mm, black, with orange 12,9,6. Swiss movement
2824-2, 25J.

The movement is solid. I have now had it for a whole 24 hours, and it has only gained 3seconds. That is great!!! It moves so smoothly around the dial. You can barely even see the beats/seconds. The watch feels very solid, not as heavy as my 44mm DeepSea, but just perfect. Personally I think a 40mm is too small, but feel the 44mm is a little too large for me. The thickness on this PO is perfect. So the 42mm is a perfect!

The watch's dial is perfect to me. The dot on the bezel is okay. It could be a bit more centered, but it is very very close. So it'll do. I'm not complaining though, it's pretty good for rep standards if I say so myself. The bracelet is terrible to adjust, but is like the gen, so I'll take it. The clasp is very secure. The case back is a give away for sure, but I don't think that'll be a prob. Even omega owners would be fooled by this watch. Unless they live and breath omega or are watch fanatics. I do know an omega wearer who owns a business in town. It's a 1990's version and doesn't keep up on watches, so for those kinda people there won't be any issue.

Needless to say I'm a very satisfied customer. I would certainly recommend TT: Andrew to anyone. They are very professional.

Attached I have add some photos. Please let me know if they can't be viewed.

Nice watch, the AR on the 42mm really makes a huge difference.

Oh, and I completely forgot to comment about the Lume, it is great! Very very bright bi-color blue and green. Will post pics when I get home.

How's the bezel feel? Do you know if the bezel uses a click ball or one of those brass spring clips that mounts on the inside circumference of the bezel? I'm just trying to understand if the bezel clicks or spins freely and if it clicks, is the action smooth as it should be.

Appreciate the write up!

The bezel does click. It doesn't take a lot for it to be moved, but does take a little work as most divers are. It isn't a loud sound either. I don't know the make up inside the movement of the bezel though. It is smooth as far as moving it from click to click, but does make a ratchety sound to it. But it's quite muffled though.
