As I came to the party really late (2016) and these are my favorite watches as well as still super popular in the rep watch community with tons of new stuff out since the last posting,
I'm going to try to give this thing a little CPR and see if I can get her back on her feet again...

My UPO on rubber,

On its original faded orange rubber,

And now on its new (Unfaded) rubber..

(Hope you guys will help revive this club thread. It doesn't deserve to die just yet :)

I've been lusting after this one for a long time. It's going to be my next rep purchase, I think ;-)
Looks fatalistic on the wrist, thanks for the pics. From the dealer pics it looks much more reflective than it does in your pics, glad to see that because I was worried about that.
Which version is this may I ask? What factory.

Thanks

Oh thank you!
And glad you are enjoying the tread I revived.
Clearly there is a lot of interest in the POs. Probably more than ever so I felt I needed to get this one going again. It's kinda become my baby (along with the "Speedy Tuesday" thread for Speedmasters :)

Anyway,
Thankyou for the complement! No, no gens... Yet.
I've had some from Noob, V6F, BP, and a couple from unknown factory's like the last picture in the post you liked.
Also. I stated that one was my first PO which is inaccurate. I forgot about a chrono pumpkin I have laying around somewhere. THAT was my first.
I love them all! Even the really inaccurate ones (that I haven't posted like the chrono one.Lol!)

As far as the straps & bracelets, most came with the pieces.
I've gotten all my PO so far from the member replica watch sales section (M2M) here and I have picked up a runner strap or two off of eBay & dhgate.

My earlier post here got me thinking of how many changes my PO collection has gone through, even since I revived this thread, so I thought I would show you guys the bookends.
My very very first "Planet Ocean" & my most recent Planet Ocean acquisition.
So here they are :)

My very first entry into the PO rep world.
Complete with missing [emoji755]? emblem and Speedmaster bracelet :)

Sooo,
That's what got me started.
Here is my most recent rep purchase

It's amazing how we miss the inaccurate details when we start this hobby that now glare at us with ease.
It's also amazing how accurate these reps have become in a relatively short time.
I'm super excited to see where this hobby is in a year or two!

You cant beat Omega at any price for Value and Quality. I absolutely believe my 1997 Seamaster 2531.80 is better than any 16610 from 1997 in looks and function.

That's what made me buy my PO! But after seeing some of these reps... wow! Looks like the real thing. I put mine on a mesh strap and love it

I Have a vintage SeaMaster on the way from Sead that is immediately going to Strooda for a Dome crystal and vintage lume.
