Question about limited edition POLMLE face

shellbmb · Sep 18, 2022

Been lurking for a while and would love to find a POLMLE at some point, but in my research, I can't tell if there were different dials or if they should all look the same. Some pictures don't have the "ZrO2" on the dial and I don't know if it's just too hard to see in the light the picture was taken, or if there were different dials. These have the ####/1948 on the back. Or could it be a replacement "service" dial? Just want to make sure I know what I'm looking at.

I attached a picture of what I'm referring to.

I think it depends on the angle the pic was taken, here's a legit example where the ZrO2 is invisible in some pics;

Thank you for the information. They certainly command a high price. 8-9k is what I'm seeing out there.

My advice for you if you want to buy a modern Planet Ocean, buy it with all the papers and stamped cards because I seen very very many fakes worldwide. I also buy one myself about two years ago and when I went to the Omega boutique for service they did not realise that is fake not until they want to read the serial number which had an extra digit..😀. Now I seen fakes with correct digits and even cards..

Do you realize the OP is referring to a very limited special edition model? It's not simply a modern watch purchase that may or may not find such generic advice relevant ....

My mistake..I did not realise that. I thought that we are talking about a generic PO.
