Man, I've reeeeally been wanting the blue version of this watch, the TiPO, and I'm basically at the point now where I gotta decide, chrono or no chrono... In terms of appearance it's no question, the chrono looks absolutely stunning and just perfect, whereas the non chrono looks a little more plain and I already have a pumpkin 45mm CrPO.

The only thing holding me back is the quality of it... The A7750 movement and how long it will last, how accurate it will be... That and the faux subdial and any other quality concerns like the OP's loose pusher and crystal... And of course the watch running 1-2 mins fast... Those are pretty big turnoffs for an inexperienced guy like me who just buys and wears reps. But it's so damn beautiful... :cryingbadly:

I'm not too worried about the faux subdial anymore and I now realize why it doesn't work -- it has two hands (hour/min) and the A7750 movement or any other rep movement can't handle that -- so it's more understandable. Although I wonder, couldn't they just make it count the minutes and leave the hour hand be?

Anyway, it's frustrating since I want the chrono version but there just seem to be too many turnoffs at this point since it's a fairly new rep, released earlier this year I think. I might just have to opt for the non chrono (blue TiPO w/ blue rubber) and wait till a more refined version is released...

Mine is about 50 secs or so fast a day now, which I think is fine, I'm in front of a screen all day and always adjust my watches at least once during that time so for me it's not a big deal. About the loose pusher and crystal, I've ordered about 15 reps up til now and they've all been perfect, so I guess it was just my time to get one of the sour apples in the barrel, it was easily fixed though. But one other thing to consider with this watch is the size and weight, it's a few steps up from the regular Planet Ocean, but I love the heft of it, it feels very solid and high quality on your wrist :)

Is it much heavier than the Noob 45mm CrPO? Cause that's already a pretty heavy watch. Don't mind the weight though.

A very nice piece indeed. A pal of mine has a gen of this and every time I see it I think about picking one up.

Yeah it's a bit heavier and taller but 'hugs the wrist' in a good way, hard to explain. I tried to look up the weight comparisons but can't seem to find them at the moment, but anyways, not much heavier than the non chrono, just a bit beefed up, and if you don't mind heavy watches you'll get used to it after a day or so of wearing it :)

... how does the subdial at 3 work ... some TD pics show both hands aligned and some show them seperated (like 12:15) ???

The 3 subdial on this BP version is faux so it doesn't do anything, the hands are fixed in the 12 position.

Hello to everyone! I ve made an order last week and i m waiting for the same Planet Ocean Chrono. I am new to replica watches (it is the first replica i buy) and i read here, that the 3 sub-dial does not work and i feel so stupid that i bought it! The site i bought it was not mentioning that the certain sub-dial does not work!

Your concerns are also valid for your non chronograph that you already own. A2836 decorated to look like the 8500 and the Miyota with the same embellishments... I don't know about you but anytime they "decorate" something, it only gives more imagination of things to go wrong. The A7750 is pretty solid. The fact that it does not have a working chrono at 3, I see as a plus. The rep factories will have a tough time making a clone of the 9300. I wouldn't let the fact that it's a 7750 bother you. They titanium, I totally agree with. If they can get the blue correct that would be awesome! ;)

Mine turned up today. It's a great rep. Apart from the movement and sub dial function, it's very, very close to gen on the wrist.
