Evening all,
Just a quick one... I recently purchased a silix special planet ocean off another forum member and in all honesty, I'm really pleased with it. Sure there are a whole list of things that give it away as a rep but overall I think it's a cracking little timepiece! If you're not overly bothered about having a watch that is really close to a gen it's a tidy watch which (famous last words.....) keeps good time. The only issue I do have, which is slowly nagging in the back of my mind,is the physical size of it.... It's by no stretch big enough for my liking. I've not got the smallest of wrists and usually wear watches that are a bit on the "chunkier" side. Albeit this is my first and only replica, the other watches I wear on a regular basis are a fair bit larger (suunto vector, casio protrek prg40, invicta grand diver). The suunto and the casio are mainly used for work with the invicta being a "posh" watch, I was hoping that the PO would replace the invicta as a dress watch but I've actually ended up wearing it almost daily as it didn't cost a great deal and doesn't look to "special occasion" not to be worn every day.
But still...... It's not very big! As a result I've read a number of reviews on the ultimate planet ocean which looks a lot bigger in pictures and seems to have got mostly positive reviews, and made the decision to purchase one from the trusted dealer list on this website (or another member if anyone's gone for sale!!) what my main question is, being a newbie and all, are all the trusted dealers selling the UPO from the same factories or are some "better" than others? In appreciate they are all trusted dealers for a reason, but which offers the cost "bang for your buck"? If they are all on par with each other, I will just pick one and place an order,if some have better QC or customer service or just better reps I'd appreciate any input from members who have experience in dealing with them....
Many thanks in advance, fingers crossed I don't waste all of my wages on new wrist candy over the next few months!!!!!
