Omega Planet Ocean 8900 43.5mm Blue on Blue Alligator Strap (Under Warranty)

FOR SALE ONLY – NO TRADES

Blue Planet Ocean in 43.5mm calibre 8900, reference number 215.30.44.21.03.001

This is one of my all-time favorite watches which I am begrudgingly listing for sale, almost hoping it won’t sell. It has been extremely well cared-for and is in near mint condition with very, very light signs of use, consisting of very minor swirls that you have to look hard for – it looks practically new on the wrist. Absolutely no damage to the crystal or bezel.

It is one…

Omega SMP Black Quartz: Dial Differences Between 2264.50 vs 212.30.41.61.01.001

I’m mainly looking to see if someone can tell me whether the dial on the 212.30.41.61.01.001 is glossier and/or darker than on the 2264.50.

I have lately been on a drive to replace some of my auto watches with quartz and for a diver, I recently acquired a 2264.50. However, I discovered the existence of the 212.30.41.61.01.001 on which I love the applied logo and indices as well as the fact that the waves extend all the way to the edge of the dial. I was debating an SMP Non-AC but that…

FSO BNIB Blue Orient Kamasu + Strapcode Jubilee

Up for sale is a brand new Orient Kamasu blue dial. This is the newest version, reference RA-AA0002L39B.

The story behind this one is that I ordered 3 watches to decide which I like best and I’m not keeping this one. Rather than paying to ship it back, I’ll pass on the savings to you.

I ordered the watch from Jomashop and a Super Jubilee bracelet from Strapcode. I received them last week. I installed the Jubilee bracelet, tried it on and put it back in the box. Original bracelet is still…

SMP Losing Time: Would You Advise OB or Service Center?

My SMP is losing between 1-2 minutes per week. I would imagine that it simply needs the movement to be regulated but of course, I have no way of knowing this. It has 2 months of warranty remaining, so hopefully this will be addressed with no out-of-pocket costs but that aside, is this something my OB can address locally, or should I ship it to an Omega service center? I’d appreciate your suggestions.

Planet Ocean 39.5 on 8.5 inch wrist?

I own a PO 43.5 which for all practical purposes, is perfect for me. The problem is, I can’t get my mind off the PO 75th Anniversary Summer Blue. (I just can’t cope with the fact it wasn’t offered in 43.5).

I bought the Summer Blue SMP Diver 300M when it first came out but after the initial dazzle wore off, I couldn’t fall in love with it so I moved it along. (In contrast, I currently own the current gen Great White and that one I can’t get tired of looking at).

I was blown away by the…

Has Anyone Had Success Ordering Links Lately?

I recently bought my first Ball – a neo-vintage Engineer II Ohio. I’ve been trying to get extra links for it but haven’t been able to get a hold of customer service.

A Ball AD in the US told me it’s best to contact Ball directly through the website. I have sent 2 emails in the last month or so but other than the “we received your email and will respond shortly” type of response, I haven’t received heard anything.

If anyone can point me on how to…

SMP non-ac (2230.50): Post Your Mods

This watch has been on my radar for a very long time and will be holding it soon. Like many before me, I am interested in the possible mods to individualize it.

It’s coming with a PO 42mm crystal installed. Otherwise, it’s in stock configuration.

I would be interested in installing a PO seconds hand with the tip painted red, a black ceramic bezel and an adjustable clasp. Other than the clasp, I will enjoy it in its near-stock condition while I settle on the mods I commit to implementing…

First Time for Everything, I Guess (I got scammed)

I’ve been buying and selling here for a few years now. All warm, fuzzy feelings over the thrill of getting my hands on a new watch – until today. Warm, fuzzy feelings came crashing down, left feeling cold and empty.

For starters, I’m not naming the seller because I don’t have any evidence that it was the seller that scammed me. My investigation is in the preliminary stages but so far, things point to it being an inside job at USPS.

My lost precious is an Omega SMP Non-AC. I saw one…
