BNIB Omega PO Ti 45.5 wrong bracelet
image.jpgSo if you notice, the end link does not sit flush with the case. I thought this wasn't normal so I looked up the bracelet number on my watch and it read '1591/831' which is the bracelet for the Planet Ocean Titanium Chronograph. My new watch is just the standard Titanium XL. I called my jeweler and he could not believe it and thought I must be confused. I called an Omega boutique and they said they have never heard of a watch being matched up with the wrong bracelet.But sure enough it was a factory error. I took the watch back to the dealer today and he pulled out 2 other factory sealed similar models and both read '1590/867' on the bracelet which matches up to the PO Ti XL.Has anyone ever seen a factory error like this before?
Anyone Seen a Dial Like This?
I am sure it is probably quite common but I could only find the black dial Speedmaster Mk.IV when searching. Anyone got one like this.... (in fact, were there any other dial variations?)
Omega Deployment Buckle
Just a quick question:Does anyone know which Omega deployment buckle is best for 20mm lugs? The 18mm or the 16mm buckle?I would definitely like the buckle to be original Omega but the strap doesn't matter to me...Thanks!
Sky Dweller Witching Hour is Near!!!
For those with Sky Dwellers the day of dread is upon us. At midnight tomorrow your watches will no longer show the correct date and will need adjustment. I'm curious as to what will show on the date when the date flips; will it simply show 29? At any rate, not desiring to play with my watch in advance, I'll wait until tomorrow midnight to find out. I must admit to adjusting the time on mine today and placing the bezel in position 1 to verify that it is the position for changing the date and that it doesn't stop the second had. Have fun with your once a year experience!!!!
Trade SubC for Pelagos?
Per the thread title.I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help but feel there's a redundancy in my collection with the Hulk and Black SubC.I tried on the Pelagos today and really liked it - especially the luminous bezel and the lightweight titanium feel. I feel like it would be a lot more comfortable when going diving or swimming with it, as the Sub is pretty heavy by comparison. Would love to hear thoughts from current Pelagos owners!
