So, how about the pictures?

Can the bezel rotation screw be screwed in or pushed in? I'm looking at dealers pics and half of the cheap versions have the thing too off from the case, so I'm wondering if that is a fault or just pulled out [censored].

Thanks for your info! Just contracted jacksontse, will see what he would answer. Did you ask him for dimensions of that CG? And should that CG of yours arrive shortly? Just want to be a bit more shure that the cg could fit prior to ordering one.

Hello, I'm in a very sad situation, last day I lost my 212 CG! I know I should have checked the screws from time to time, but it's too late now So could someone please help me finding a new one? I have no idea where could I get one. It's not a regular non chrono CG, whose you can find very easy Thanks in advance.

If it does not fit, you can always buy a link or two from our rep forums

Most of the dealers have them. You can go for the /swiss/ one for ~300$ or asian clone for ~200$. The UPO can be recognized by the /funny feet/ logo.

I would recommend you to do nothing. Do not ansver anything. If more letters come, just ignore them. And one day their seceretary will say that she is tired of sending these dumb letters and they'll stop doing that.

Interesting article. Just to be precise and not to mislead: Bush and Putin are former presidents now.

You've got a point. But new threats are being made every minute, so it could be useful that you really get the leastest stuff. Anyway most AV tests recomment it and from my expierience I once had a rootkit in my pc while using NOD32 and later examining it Kaspersky and McAfee didn't recognize it either. Of course the all AV thing is matter of taste, but I can just recommend looking at tests, sometimes it saves a lot of headache.

The black and white chrono looks fabulous, and the rose gold ed. is very neat too.

No offence, but seems like your 10 years in IT was not sufficient to judge which AV is good and which not. Norton AV 2009 updates more than 200 times a day, thats four times more than any other AV. If you don't believe me, take a look here. And seems like you haven't read the latest AV reviews, like here and here you can clearly see that Norton is suggested as the safest one.

Looks like someone from Indonesia has your account information. You should change that immediately and consider using a better Antivirus and Firewall. I recommend Norton Antivirus 2009 + hardware router (with firewall).

Yes, that list is pretty funny, even if I was looking a gen watch for less than 600$ i wouldn't consider any of those. At least there is Link Chrono, which to my mind is a pretty nice watch. This list is better, I think.

Got my black monster today from seiko5ers. I'm very satisfied

Yes, you can trust your favourite dealer and hope that he actually sends you a Swiss movement. And if you are not satisfied with power reserve or timekeeping, you can open up the caseback and try to figure out if it actually is Swiss(there are lots of guides around).

The price/performance one I have found is this one. What do you think?

How about the lume? It's green, right?

Man, look around, look at some more watches. With time you'll like PAM's, AP's or maybe even Graham's The point is: don't make quick decissions. I think that there are better reps out there than these two, more close to gen I mean. Like the SOSF, Skyland and others. There are lots of nice Omegas, IWC's if you don't like Rollies. Personally I wouldn't buy one of those two at this point, but if they are the ones I would take the Carerra.

Not much into pc gaming lately, but, hell I love Queen and Massive Attack is great too

I bought my first rep end August last year. It was a UPO. Before my interest in reps and watches generally I was wearing a Seiko quartz. Pretty nice watch thou, but a quartz. So I got my rep and was very impressed with build quality and movement precision and everything was nice. I liked my UPO a lot. A week ago I managed to sell it in the name of economic crysis. Now I feel that a part of the things I like is missing. Just like losing a friend. I have ordered a Seiko Black Monster now, but I don't think I will like it as much as my UPO. So here are the pics:

Just take the UPO, you will never regret the size, it's a great watch and the 45.5mm will be more eye catching than his smaller brother

Some /expert/ tried to convince me, that the best reps are made in Holland Yes, sometimes if you don't know it's better to keep quiet

Thanks for the eye candy! These 02 BR's look really nice. I wonder what movement is in this one?

Just sent payement to seiko5ers for my new Black Monster, let's see how it goes. Will report later...

Too bad. I am looking for a Black monster. I think i'm going to order from seiko5ers dot com. If anyone has better suggestions please reply. Thanks.
