Anyone got one of these? I was thinking of getting a Seamaster Pro 300M stainless steel in which case I probably won't want to get a Planet Ocean in SS as well, so I thought... I want a gold rep at some point, why not get the rose gold PO? It looks pretty awesome, how accurate is it to gen?

Lay has one here: http://www . replica make . com/products/OMG11101-OMEGA-PLANET-OCEAN-42-MM-ULT-RG-BLACK-ASIAN-2824.html

Yeah it's no longer a reported attack site and he appears to be using a new updated e-commerce site as well, it's nicer to use. I got no errors or warnings or anything here. He's taken rm2011 down so my guess is he did that because the original site is now functioning.

Here is my new 42mm rg. Not happy that pearl was off centre, so dealer sending another (for $20 ;-( ) but for about $160 for 4813 version its a good daily beater.

Looks awesome, cheers for sharing!

Aside from off centre pearl, noticed any other inaccuracies on this? I'm not very Omega cluey but I did notice it doesn't have happy feet which is good.

they say the gap between the logo and text is to little, but again for the money, you cant complain. What did amuse me is out of the 15 years ive been collecting reps, this has been the most accurate in terms of timing, barely gained a 2-3 seconds over 4 days now, cant believe it.

I've seen a Milgauss on Lay's timing machine that was +/- 0s/d. Most reps vary a fair bit, usually anywhere under 10 seconds a day. Mine is +6s/d. At least it's reliable though, always 6, never 7 or 8.

Really think I'm gonna have to grab this watch! Probably not for another month or two cause I'm waiting for the Macbook Pro refresh but definitely soonish. I'm thinking:

1. Omega Seamaster Professional 300M from Lay.
2. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean RG from either Puretime or Lay.
3. Rolex Yachtmaster Rolesium, nfi who from, apparently decent ones are hard to come by. T4D has some at the moment that are great apparently but limited stock.

All within the next few months.

One thing THXuk, wearing that as a daily beater the gold will be lucky to last a year before it needs re-plating. Rep plate is nothing to write home about. As the older members know, rose gold in particular can be quite Hontroversial :)

Care to elaborate on that oh highest one? :p
But yeah I did figure if/when I get a gold rep, I will need to be sparing with how often I wear it.

first thing i did was take the band off and put on an original black omega leather - with matching gold clasp of course ;-)

I have about 25 reps, so it will not get much wrist time, by daily beater I guess I mean more about it being cheap, so not to fussed how long it will go for.

How would you compare the SS vs. RG UPO in terms of accuracy to gen and maintenance?

Thanks!
