Omega Planet Ocean V12 Noob

[sneaky305]

Hey guys I saw this model pop up on puretime and decided to pull the triger on it. I wanted the previous noob Planet Ocean which was considered a super rep but since the raids and noob supposedly going away I was wary. I received the QC today and I accepted them, just wanted to share them with you and once I receive the watch I'll do a little review on it.

Looks great! If I remember correctly the pics on Puretime showed the lume was blue and green like the 8500 model, will be curious to find out if yours is all the same color as it should be on the 2500 calibre.

Yeah I saw that too, and once I get it I'll post pictures to confirm it.

Im also wondering about the lume color in daylight. Following this.

I got one on the way from DrTime. It was advertised as a V6 but it's a V12 looking at the minute markers next to 6 and the green lume for the hands and pip.

Yeah trusty has advertised v6 which I immediately jumped on but it was not as expected…underwhelming to say the least

Rather than start a new thread, seeing as this is also a Noob v12, I figured I'd share my QC rejection here.

Crooked 12 and Omega symbol. The vertical alignment of the 12 and 6 o'clock markets is also slightly off, but could've lived with that if the other faults weren't present.

I'm hoping this isn't going to be the case with all QC images I receive, given that they're likely all old stock/parts.

This is my first ever non-Rolex rep purchase. I was going to buy a gen PO 43.5, but decided on the rep LMPO 42. It's just such a beautiful watch.

 

[pippo]

Couldn't agree more, one of the most beautiful PO ever and so balanced on the wrist.
Unfortunately not one of the best release QC wise, crooked markers are somehow always present since V1.

I agree, its a stunning piece. I guess i got A little more lucky with mine:

That looks good. My second QC, the time was 10:05, so I couldn't check half the printing. There was also a misprint and an another error on the case back. Hopefully it'll be 3rd time lucky...

 

[SS72]

The 3rd one, the 12 and Omega symbol are as crooked as, so I'm waiting for a 4th. I assume this is all recycled stock (rejected by others before me), hence the pattern here.

The 2nd one, the 12 and Omega symbol looked good, but I couldn't see most of the other printing due to how the time was set. And there was a fault in the printing on the case back. Instead of adjusting the time and replacing the case back, they reject the whole watch and ask for a new one. It boggles my mind.

 

[SS72]

Incoming.

Looks good man

When you get it please can you let us know the case thickness?

 

[SS72]

Looks good man

It isn't without flaws, but I just kept getting QC pics for the same handful of watches, so in the end I picked the best one of the lot.

 

[SS72]

When you get it please can you let us know the case thickness?

Sure. It's advertised as 42 x 14 (w/h). But I'll check when I have it in hand.

Mine measures 41.7mm x 14.3mm at the middle of the domed crystal.

It's 42mm x 14.5, as best as I can tell by measuring, but I don't have calipers.

But who cares! I can't get enough of this dial. It's bloody superb. The whole design is aesthetically next level. I've been depriving myself for years.

 

[SS72]

My only pain point with the v12, aside from the lume colour on the hands, is the sharp-cornered date window. A silly and easily avoidable error. I'm searching for a correct dial and hands. Buckley's and none on the dial, probably.
Still love the watch, though.

 

[speedyguy]

Any idea of the lug width?
