Well, i have to say no. Even i was pretty sure my dealer could get me indeed a swiss eta i went with the clone. Its the best choice, it works like a charm and if/when it dies you could get a swiss and do the swap. So save your money...

You can't be sure you will get a "Swiss" movement. I suggest you search and read up on the Swiss vs. Asian ETA debate. :)

Can anyone comment on the weight of the 45.5 ultimate? Does it feel heavy/substantial like the gen? My problem with the 21j version is that it feels light and cheap.

Yes it feels heavy, espesially with the bracelet...

There is omega logo on the crown, its just the angle that makes a little difficult to see. The one you posted its currently the best one out there, buy it with confidence, its just an amazing watch!!!

Omega Planet Ocean

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I'd like to say first that you've got some great information here. I wanted to ask some advice as this is the first replica I am going to purchase. I read on replicawatchreport.net (don't know how reputable the site is) that this site is rather good for reps http://www.perfectwatches.net/. The particular watch I'm interested in is this one http://www.perfectwatches.net/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-co-axial-black-case-black-dialom140.html. However now that I've read a bit in this thread I am interested in the one posted above from MR. What would you recommend?

Hello and welcome to the forum!!!
Well if i were you i wouldnt buy that one, it doesnt look good at all. You can go with planet ocean, 42mm or 45.5mm depending on your wrist size. If you dont want to spend much money on your first purchase you can go with the asian 21j movement, but i am sure soon or later you will buy the model with the the 2824-2 movement, so go with this one http://www.marvellousreplica.com/products_detail.php?ProId=1191 from the beggining and you wont be disapointed...MR is great dealer and will take care of you...

Thanks for you quick reply! I suspected as much, I'm not too bothered about the price increase if the quality is better, you get what you pay for. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys--as a follow up, what's the lume like on the MR 45mm PO? Typical rep lume, or do they beef it up since it's the UPO? Thanks in advance!
