Long shot: Anyone own a Planet Ocean 45.5mm

Eoin

I'm looking at one of these online, and was wondering if anyone currently owns one? Or even if you owned one - any thoughts on it?

Deep Thought

I have one but not in Orange

I love it, great dial, great hands and Super Lume

Its the one watch I have not ever contemplated moving...

They are a good price these days

Well worth it

Eoin

Thanks a mil - you've the 45mm version? If so, it doesn't wear like a saucer?

Looks like I should be able to get one with box & papers on a bracelet for 2K or so.

On my 7.5 wrist, feels perfect

Eoin

Lovely, thanks a million. Measured mine last night and it's a shade over 8", so that looks like a good size for me.

2K is a great price....

I have one as my daily. Good solid watch but only if you have a decent size wrist or are into big watches... It's considerably bigger than my seamster pro.....
Mine is orange and black too, very different and looks class imo as a sports watch. Not so good with a suit... hard to close a shirt cuff around it too...

2k is a savage price if you can get it.

Eoin

Cheers! I rarely wear a suit, and have a very nice Hamilton for when I do. I've owned a few 45mm+ watches and wouldn't normally think twice about a watch this size, only this is a slightly bigger purchase than before.

2K is the best price I've seen, but I don't have much info about the seller. Most are available for 2300.

One on Fleabay for 1800 here. A few marks, but comes with a replacement bezel.

This is a smashing watch. At 2 - 2.3k I would buy one in a heartbeat...but the last thing I need is another diver not to mention a black one !

Ta. I spotted that as well - I think I'll pass on that one! Sounds dodgy.

Eoin

here's the other two I'm looking at.

2K, but from a new seller to the site

2.3 from a seller with lots of feedback.

Deep Thought

I usually check them out online,

Found this for Pluswatch

All I could find for Golden Slumbers is the Beatles song...

Chrono24 is a good place , but they have no ability to do anything if the deal goes arseways..

Eoin

Thanks a mil DT - talking to someone on TZ at the moment so may be able to get sorted there.

They sent the link to their butt ugly website, and they list themselves as a Glycine AD - which is backed up on Glycine's website. The phone number on Chrono24 matches up with the phone number on both their and Glycine's website. And I can see a photo of the watch in the window in their facebook page, so it all looks legit.

+1 on the POXL

I really enjoy it although I haven't been wearing it much recently. I swapped mine over to a croc strap on purchase and it makes a nice mix between sporty and dressy. It's a big watch but I don't find it wears heavily (unlike Panerai or Big Pilot).

Eoin

Cheers Marcus - if I go for the orange bezel, I definitely think I'll put it on a black leather strap.
