    The amount of information you receive is directly proportional to the effort you put in.

    Why are you posting a vintage Eterna question in the Modern Omega Fake Busters thread? You'll get better answers in the Other Watch Brands forum.

    Hi experienced people!

    I'm wondering about this Ti Planet Ocean, the picture below being from Jomashop's website. The writing on the rotor says "(omega symbol) omega co-axial" but there's no "8500" after that and instead a rather unbalanced gap. Other examples of this watch that I've seen proudly include the 8500. Is there some valid reason there is a blank space on the rotor?

    Thanks ac 106, that's reassuring. It seemed unlikely to me that it would be a fake, though I still don't understand the rotor marking.

    There are many more things horribly wrong with this piece of junk than "Missions".

    Here's a lovely example of a chrono/day-date that is maybe the worst POS I've seen. Reported.

      Quick question I have recently acquired a quartz Seamaster 2541.80, had to have the Goldeneye. Now this isn't my first Seamaster so as I am inspecting the watch the bezel seems funny to me as if it has play to it. After messing with it for a few seconds I figure out it only a 60 click bezel. Now having owned several other SMPs I realize that they all have 120 clicks like my 2054.50 I pulled from the box just to be sure. Now my pre bond Seamaster on the other hand has a 60 click bezel that feels very similar to this Bond SMP. Does anyone know if the Bond Seamasters ever had 60 click bezels any info would be appreciated

    My son gave me this watch for Christmas about 14/15 years ago. I have never really used it as I have a general everyday Seiko I use for Watersports etc. What do people think about it? I can’t see any numbers on the reverse, and there is a missing bit on the top of the bezel where a small piece of luminous material would be. Your thoughts please.
    Many thanks
