Planet Ocean Bezels

On the PO, the bezel has a sort of coin edge,

I have noticed that some PO have bezels with grooves that are about every half second, but others where the grooves are every second. Was there a swap over point when this changed? Look at these 2 pics, hope they show the difference clearly enough.

I believe the larger 45.5 mm Po the bezel groves are spaced out more due to its larger size.

P.S Love the mesh, sorry to hi jack would you be able to give me any details of where to source one from.

Many thank's,

Simon

Different sizes

You can tell by the date window which is which - closer to the minute marker is the 42 - bigger space between, the 45.5.

Different bezels.

Mine are the sharper 42 ones...



I went to Otto Frei for the mesh - hasn't been off the watch (or my wrist) since it came in the mail a few weeks ago - I could not recommend it any more highly.
