Please help! PO Chrono - real??
Hi,I am considering taking a watch (~2009 Omega Planet Ocean Chrono, pictured below) on trade, and I am scared to death of the PO fakes out there. I tried it on and it feels well made. I am a Rolex guy and have no experience with Omega so I don't know what to look for. I snapped a quick pic with my cellphone, but it's not the best quality. It will come with box, papers, etc. No steel band, just the rubber one. Anyway, the guy seems really nice and knowledgeable, but you just never know with all the fakes out there. Is the helium valve in the correct place? What about the numbers/writing?Thanks a million!Ed

Has anyone brought home a 5711/1A-011 (White dial Nautilus) yet?
Hi allNew here. Saw quite a few discussion on the white dial Nautilus and quite a few have actually tried them on. Have tried to find it at my local ADs, and grey-dealers are not willing to unseal them for try on.Very much love an owner's review and opinion (if any). Whoever who had tried it on and considered buying it and end up not doing it, any particular reason.Personally, I like the blue dial for it's history, the way it change colour. Similarly, like the white dial for it's freshness and the way it make the watch looks younger. And the worse part is thinking what if they release the black/grey dial (as in the one on 5726) on the Nautilus next year. Any thoughts, opinion is more than welcome.
