Omega Planet Ocean Big Blue

I have the similar but in Black/red.
Can't say enough good things about it.
The ceramic and brushing is awesome.
Movement has been great, no problems.
strap is super supple, clasp is nicely done.
I think one of the versions had a flaw (bezel brushed instead of glossy or something like that) I think it was the black/silver version.
I haven't had the blue in person but remember another member having one and being very happy with it.

It has the jumping hour just like all the other regular GMT planet oceans
I assume the movement is the same among the GMTs
If he said 7750, I am curious if you are referring to the planet ocean chrono 45mm with two subdials.
That model may very well be iffy when it comes to movement reliability. A good friend of mine had one die.

The VS clone movement in these are very stable and well proven. Never heard of a VS GMT or PO using a 7750. @APjumbo Is correct though, the Planet Ocean Chrono (only made by OMF i think) is not the greatest movement.
I read a comment earlier in the week from a respected member who said the 7750 chronos of the past were unreliable, but these days they are my much better.
The fact that watch repair extrodinaire Dogwood doesn’t like servicing the 7750 steers me away from them unless I’m in absolute love with the model.
Want a chrono, consider a Daytona, or a seiko quartz or ST19 moonwatch. Not a dive watch that can’t touch water.

The A7750 nowadays, if in original configuration is very stable. But I'm extremely wary of any movement that has to modify the A7750 at all.
I've bought two of these watches but unfortunately in both cases the bezel popped off and was lost and has been impossible to find a replacement. If you're thinking on buying this model bring it to a watch maker and make sure that the bezel is seated correctly.
My bezel popped off also…. Thought to watchmaker who replaced it…. Hope it stays on!
Where did you get yours from? I might just get a new one but don't know if it's still available
I got mine from a guy known as Rolex Mike before I decided to join this group and order myself!
