i didnt have time to do my review yet, i got it as i was leaving for a bit, but wanted to share some quick pics for u , for a fast review, i say the watch is wonderful , and look like what i was hoping for, love the bezel insert , the color is more correct, , a few problems on arrival , there were a couple dings in the case and the caseback had a mill mark on it and the dial has a blemish under the bottom writing , in the pic it will look like a grey spot , its not good and very noticeable, and the nicks r too deep to polish out, i sent andrew a email with some up close photos of the problem i am sure he will send me a new case , caseback and dial , overall the watch looks like a winner and the best one so far, the clasp looks genuine, basically everything looks pretty good, but i havent done a close inspection of the pros and cons other than seeing the blemishes , when i get back i will do that for u and hopefully by-thor can join in we r supposed to do it together, anyway these r raw quick pics but u can see what we were looking to see ok enjoy, oh yeah it does have a slight blue hue on the glass , so i can see some ar coating on it btw

Thanks for the review!

The only problem I see or than slight size difference was previously noted on another forum - the Omega symbol sits too close to the printed "Omega" on dial.

yes the logo isnt that bad at all, the second hand tip actually matches to the numbers on the wrist , just t up close pictures shows it being a bit lighter in color but i really cant tell by the eye, im assuming there was no magnetic cap on the third generation? this one has a plastic movment ring in it but seems to be solid, the datefont actually is pretty nice and white to the eye, not really faded like the ones i saw before, i got unlucky with a few things they did sloppily but andrew says he will replace it asap so i have no worries , the smudge on the dial makes me crazy lol

i measured it right at 42mm like 41.95 to be exact lol and right at 42.5 with crown , so pretty close to the genuine one

the things that stood out for me is the ar coating , slight but definitely visible which is more beleivable to be genuine
the bezel insert is very nice and more correct
the helium valve is going up the slope more like the genuine
the caseback loge is crisper i believe
the bracelet is solid and the clasp is more correct, also i think the bracelet is different than the 3rd/ generation because it has the numbers 952 going across the middle of the sel bold and engraved nicely
i even think the logo on the crown is deeper and bolder

not many cons for me other than the plastic ring holding the movment in place , which i will fix myself , lol
the minute hand may be just a tad short but really not bad at all and when i say a tad i mean a hair size tad lol (by-thor that was for u lol )
the finish of the watch neeeds a good polishing but they all do lol
the bezel is a little loos feeling but fixable
stick on insert but they all r , i will glue it down permanently after i tighten up the bezel
and like we knew maybe the logo could have been just a hair higher but its not bad really , but i will see if i can move it up a bit
the glow is actually no as bad as other watches i have seen but i will relume my new dial lol

im bummed i have the watch and cant wear it , cause i have to wait for the replacement and send this one back , argghhhhh

all in all andrew has the best po to my eyes at the moment, im sure all will have them soon , andrew delivered in a timely fashion, i think i would have gotten it three days ago if it wasnt held up in new york

i will take some more thorough pics of it for u soon and point out the things i just said in a more review like manner

im just doing it like this quickly and things on the top of my head lol cause i knew u were anxious like me

i am really amazed how heavy and solid it feels , its a nice looker and has a balanced feel to it , definitely a keeper

hello do u guys know if in the genuine the numbers on the dial in orange glow ?

as u can see the logo gap is not that bad , almost perfect but it could stand to be up just a hair , but definitely better than the other generations

Very nice.

I can't wait for the black one.

I went to an AD and had a look a few days ago, the 45mm black is AWSOME!

The orange is great and if the black doesn't show up soon I will go for it. I just don't wear the color orange too often. I have enough watches that are lacking in wrist time. LOL

Ok, you need to own a Sub. Once, at least. It's a classic that you may decide isn't you and then trade off. I love mine and would only replace it with an ETA LV.

The Seamaster comes after. :)

The teeth on the rep's bezel look really 'shallow' compared to the gen... ??? Anyone else notice this?

New here, but, had to add my comment on the PO. That is a great looking watch and fantastic photos. The Orange bezel PO has been on my wish list since I first saw it. Just couldn't afford. Now maybe I can have one. This may be a stupid question but as a newbie, how can I get one from a reliable source at a reasonable price. Thanks ahead for any help.

Go look in trusty's dealer section he has a link and he is 100% trusty!

I just got my 4th gen PO and its very very nice. The clasp needs work but shouldn't be a problem to fix

:D The only dealer offering the 4th gen PO is the Trustywatchguy(Andrew). Just give him a shout. I just bought the black bezel PO from him couple days ago :lol: I hope to see it next week :wink:
