Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm, "Pumpkin", Narikaa

[AllergyDoc]

Picked this up from Reg (Narikaa) during his free shipping from Thailand promotion recently. It arrived about ten days after payment.

Impressions:

Good:

1. Typical heavy PO bracelet: solid feel, heavy, well balanced with the case.
2. Attractive (to me) light blue AR.
3. Very nice orange bezel. Color much better than my old 21J model from Tonyxkf.
4. Overall nice fit and finish, especially for a watch that only cost $102USD.
5. Runs about 15-20 sec. fast/day.

Less good:

1. Typical Omega rep bracelet issues: some pins are too tight, some too loose.
2. Poor rep lume.

Pictures:

Clasp that arrived w/the watch was poorly engraved. Reg immediately sent a new one:

Beautiful brushed links. They needed the bike chain lube treatment, though, to get the rep factory grime out of the tiny grooves.

Wristie:

All-in-all a beautiful affordable watch from a great dealer! It's getting a lot of wrist time.

Great looking watch & great pics too! I ordered the same one from Reg & it's on it's way right now. Hopefully mine will be on my wrist for the weekend & look as good as yours does.

That's for the "James Bond Radio Detonator" (sole seperately, of course).

It's a Helium escape valve for saturation diving. On a gen, you would open it in a decompression chamber so the crystal doesn't pop off (you can Google watch helium valve for all the info).

That's not true.. i unscrewed mine, took a deep breath and talked funny for a long time.. ok j/k

Yuk-yuk...

I can't see a difference in the casebacks. Doesn't matter anyway, at least for me. It's a great pick-up for a C-note.

OK, sorry if i "think" replica HE not work. My intention was only show my mean. Sorry so if i am wrong.

He was joking, miguel, referring to breathing in helium gas and talking like Mickey Mouse. The humor was likely lost in translation.
