Review of the month: June 2014 | Planet Ocean GMT Goodplanet from Toro Bravo

[thewatchdog]

I saw a genuine in person while on vacation and it is a lovely watch. At work on my galaxy S4 so it's hard to see the rep in full detail but it looks very accurate. I will get one maybe or wait a while. Who is the maker on this watch?

BP factory.

 

[thewatchdog]

[Snaaakeey]

Yeah! Ar looks blue.

A TD who is highly respected around here said it has problems. But what problems he didn't specify

Thrasher - waiting for the pics of your CrPO

 

[Thrasher]

I have two orange bezel CR POs now the AT maker and the NOOB both 45mm. I'm still interested in this GMT but I have been busy playing with different SUBS, DSDs, EXP2s and PAMs. Look around under my name you should be able to see pictures of what I have been doing.

Thanks for this review. Watch is made by BP since I asked probably 4 posts after it was said. A.D.D and all.

I'm still interested in this watch and have asked Sead to pick one up for me as we all know it is BP factory and so far to the best of my knowledge and Seads foot work this is only available with a rebuilt ETA 2836 , I did see one dealer advertise it with an A2824 but that seems impossible since the 2824 does not support the day function which drives the GMT on most if not all rep GMTs. I have seen a genuine in a store window and have seen a members genuine in the "What Omega are you wearing today" thread along side a rep within a few posts in the same thread. One question I have and will ask elsewhere is how do Omega crowns screw down as some of you know I have had NOOB and AT maker 45mm CRPOs Pumpkins and loved them so much I sold the reps and bought a genuine. About this watch I have had bad luck with a rebuilt eta 2836 and try to avoid them at all costs but I think if I want this watch I will have to break my rule. I am concerned about BP factory as it seems they can make a good looking watch but their internal engineering leaves a lot to be desired.

I will keep you up to date when I hear from Sead!

im looking for a gmt myself. And came up against he same issue - rebuilt movement. I'm after the black bezel with orgare numbers. Please keep us informed - and I'll do the same. PM me if you like.

One Gmt I like very much is the polar noob rolex explorer 2 with a A2836. I have a BP that I put a new swiss movement in and a noob which is currently broken with a wrecked crown spring and a partly seized 3187 which I will replace with a high beat new swiss 2846 that vac got me when I asked for a new eta 2836. From now on I source all my own movements probably from Otto Frei

 

[Thrasher]

Further follow up, Sead is getting this watch for me, It is BP only and it is Rebuilt Swiss only, Two TDS have told me this, I have seen it listed with an A2824 which is impossible because no day function to operate GMT hand. I have seen it listed with a 2813 which if its only the movement that is different, could be a good cheap deal to replace with new swiss 2836. So far I have seen a lot of difference from dials and bezels misaligned to members with near perfect reps. here is my comparison between three POs.

[Thrasher]

I got QC pictures from Sead tonight which I rejected. The big visual problem on this watch is the numbers engraved on the bezel insert are not equally spaced around the inner edge. the number 22 will sit right on the inner silver ring while the 12 on the other side will have clear space between the bottom of the number and the silver ring, the watch at the beginning of this review is not like that and I have seen a member on the forum with reasonable space from bottom of number to inner silver ring all the way around sure its not perfect its a rep. I know the orange color in the bezel numbers is not correct but that could easily be fixed. I have seen TDs advertise with and without this flaw.

 

[Thrasher]

Finally I got this watch from Intime, Jordan did a great job, the best that could be done. The bezel is good but the 12 and the marker above it on the dial are slightly misaligned could not be seen in QC photos and cant be seen with the naked eye, the crown feels a little tight when winding and its a bit of a rough screw down so I will probably lube that and will see how long the movement lasts. over all its a beautiful watch. it seems smaller then 43 mm and the bezel itself seems to big for the watch case but that's just me. I will get some pictures up along with some pictures of a genuine and then we will see the flaws though I think they will be minor as even BP does a OK job.

I wore this most of the day Yesterday and out to Dinner and its one of very few watches my wife has noticed and complimented me on so that's pretty impressive!!!

 

[ozogatve]

I've been looking for this watch, thinks for the review, I will contact TB.

 

[Thrasher]

The crown is clicking on this that means its about to fail... Typical BP crap.

 

[Thrasher]

Sent back to Intime today for a new crown, cost me $31 for registered mail. Normally I would try and find someone to install a genuine crown, but i don't even know if this would accept one or the right one could be found. last time I tried to get a genuine crown on an Omega it was for the 45mm AT maker Omega 600m with orange bezel and though VAC said he could do it for $165 all he was able to do was fix the old one and still charge me $165. I'm hopeful that this dosent turn into a fiasco. i really need to spend some time reading in the Omega section to see who the best modders are.

two above are same, maybe not BP.

Puretime has a couple one is claimed to have a asian A2836 and the other a A2824 with independant GMT hand I would like to know how that works since the 2824 does not have a day complication to drive the GMT.

I really like the fact that MR is the only Dealer to say the ETA movement is reclaimed

On watches I like I like to search and study in hopes a good one will appear!

Just in case no one else mentions it, I appreciate your continued efforts in updating your hunt.

The PO GMT is the only Omega I like and much like you I don't mind searching for extenuating amounts of time before I find a good one. You're making the job a lot easier on me ;D
