In Response To: Re: 45mm PO vs Rolex Sea Dweller ()

Hi

The Dweller and the Planet Ocean are two very good watches.
The Omega has a better legibility, better clasp, better bracelet comfort and great soberty. The Rolex is almost the same watch since 1971 except that it has a sel bracelet, a triplock crown, non argon coated glas and not so solid over the long run bracelet.
The Rolex has two advantages over the PO: the movement and the automatic helium gas escape valve.
The 3135 is a proven movement which has shown its outstandin greliability since 1988 almost 17 years. It is often quoted as a reference in terms of movements. The coax 2500 is pretty new and the best modified eta 2892-2.
All is matter of money and of course personal taste.
Good luck whatever you decide.

regards

georges
