Planet Ocean 600 - aim to pay..?

[Kuroblack350]

Hi all,

I quite fancy a Planet Ocean 600, specifically the 215.33.44.21.03.001



It s been a while since I bought something new, from memory I paid 3k for my Speedy, so a little under 15% discount.

With an RRP of £6300, what price would be good to aim for realistically?

And yes, of course I’ll drop Dom an email

Thanks

You can definitely get 10% off just by asking, maybe 15% if you push harder, or shop on the last day of the month.

If you are paying cash and not taking out one of the AD 0% finance deals 10% should be easily achievable

A great watch - I have one on the same blue alligator strap.

Are you looking for the 39.5 or 43.5mm version? I believe the 39.5mm version is less popular, so you might be able to push a bit harder on price for that size if it's what you're after.

The larger version I think, although I’ve not seen one in the flesh. The sizing doesn’t bother me so much, it’s not that much bigger than my Speedy (a lot thicker perhaps) and a shade less wide than my Sinn UX.

Whilst it is thick, Omega has done a decent job with styling the case to mitigate the appearance on the wrist. Chamfered edges, the twisted lugs etc. It's not like the Tudor Black Bay Pro with its slab sides.

Also worth noting that this 3rd gen of the Planet Ocean has been around since 2016. Whilst no word on a 4th gen from Omega, it's plausible that one can't be too far away. Could be used to your advantage in negotiations.

Great stuff, thanks 👍 I’ve got a decent price from Dom H, so more than likely going in that direction - still not seen one aside from online, so may drop by a boutique and see if they have one.

It’s a shame they no longer do a 42mm one that was the sweet spot for POs imo

I have small wrists (6.5") and tried both sizes of PO on recently, assuming the 39.5mm would be the one for me. Nope.

The 43.5mm was just much better proportioned and fit just fine, the 39.5mm isn't that much different thickness wise, so sort of stood above my wrist as the case is a bit squatter. I ended up going with something else because I could tell the weight of it would bother me by the end of the day, it's a heavy mutha.

With you there. I have even smaller wrists than you, so the 39.5mm was the only sensible choice for me. The proportions feel a little odd by comparison, but still passable. By contrast, the new midsize Blancpain Fifty Fathoms looks tastefully scaled to fit each case size.

The dial proportions were fine to me, it's just that the case was smaller but not much thinner. 39mm wide and over 14mm thick is just odd looking on me.
