Have you tried on the new ones from the A.D.? The 43 something millimeter or 42 or whatever it is is lower. They took some of the height out of it. When they start repping that size, I'm sure it will be lower also.

I'm not aware of a new version of the older PO?!? And never saw it at AD either. Any official links, I'm curious as to why would they do such a thing

The watch pictured is the newest representation of the "45mm" seen here-
https://www.omegawatches.com/watche...an-600m/omega-co-axial-455-mm/23232462101005/

I made a mistake when posting in thinking it was a picture of the new 43.5mm (that I also tried on).
I should have looked at the pictures more closely.
There are 2 new sizes available now.
One being 43.5 & the other I'm not sure of.
Having said that, this is the newest incarnation of the "45mm" (I think. Now I'm second guessing myself as well. Lol)

Edit. Here is a link to one of the new 43.5 versions.
https://www.omegawatches.com/watche...an-600m/omega-co-axial-435-mm/21532442101001/

Looks like new sizes are 39.5mm / 43.5mm / & 45.5mm from this point forward for the Planet Ocean 600m

Hey guys, forgive the pic quality but I wanted to get this up and ask a couple of questions if I can. First of all, I adore the watch. But I have a couple of queries:

Is it just me or are the bezel markers at 3 and 9 slightly off? I didn't notice this in the QC pics but the TD is apparently sending me another bezel (not holding my breath - been waiting weeks)

Secondly - how hard is it to replace if the replacement does indeed arrive.

Appreciate any responses

I think it looks fine man.
If you ever do want to replace the bezel insert,
It's held on with either glue or double-sided tape. A razor blade or knife in between the bezel insert and the glass should allow you to slowly pry it loose. I had a watch who's insert started coming loose so I had to remove and reglue it.
Mine was already coming up so it was quite easy. One that's well glued down will probably take a little work and possibly destroy the original insert so don't do it in less you never want to use that insert again is my advice.

I love my orange PO but I scratched the bezel. General wear. Can I get a new one somewhere?

For thanksgiving I will be wearing this,
My very first PlanetOcean 600m.
Is it perfect? OfCourse not. It has a glaring flaw in the form of a giant pimple on its forehead!
Do I care? No. I was and am very thankful for it.
And I am thankful for all my more accurate reps.
This piece set my addiction to RWI and reps into stone.
Molded it into my being and made me the rep addict I am today.
Surprisingly, I am very grateful for that. Lol!
At not even a tenth of the cost of a gen, I am happy to take the flaws. Happy to explain it is a replica. Happy to show others my great newfound hobby!
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
Pull out your oldest, most inaccurate rep (whether it's a PO or not) and wear it!
For IT is probably why you are here too :)
