  1. No, i love my UPO. I just wanted to share that the UPO:s have been subject to some downgrades. And the non beveled date window is for me a bigger tell than the happy feet logo. Gen dial considered, matching hands. But that's it. For the matter of my mental health I find gens kind of booring as a hobby, this is much better The pursuit after something really high quality is more fun than to just hand out a huge amount of money for it. /Furu
  2. Just spotted a few irritating details sitting here looking at old UPO reviews, gen pics and my own UPO. We seems to have the same version and there are some small differences from (probably) earlier UPO:s. - No bevel around the date window. (argh!!!) - Our font for the 6, 9 and 12's is lacking the small, small serifs. - Still happy feets of cause. I've also realised that my crystal is a bit tilted in it's position, ever so little.
  3. Haha those hands really are 'sword' hands , sad thing about the crown. Hope everything sorts out fine.

    Ageing a 1680

    Found the answer myself: Tactical are made to minimize reflections, for tactical use. Rings are for example PVD.

    Ageing a 1680

    Tanks for the input db2, yeah Ubi also recomended the Maratac products. What's the difference between 'Tactical' and 'Zulu'? Looks really good, I like how the excess strap folds back.
  6. Yesterday i held a gen mid 80's Pepsi GMT, it was beautifully aged and well used. So today i just had to do some work to my new 1680 rep. I took some photos along the way, thought I'd share them with you. So this is were i started: Then i masked out the crystal. The next step was hurtful, but after the first few scratches it was totally fun: This is what the bezel assembly looked like, not exactly gen-like: A good way to fit the bezel insert, the 29mm was a perfect fit: Sadly enough the weather was cloudy so the results are not so apparent, but trust me those screws did their job. Kinda finished, the small parts of glue are now long gone, sadly my glue was a bit thick so the insert sits a bit high, going to fix that later: With the bracelet on, think I'm going to buy a black/grey bond style nato for this one: In summary i had a very fun time modding this watch, and the budget still is a neat 68
  7. Just remembered that he has a giant Railmaster too... I think he likes Omega
  8. James May also has one, although the orange version. (not in this clip) I think, not shure, Clarkson had another Omega in previous seasons, a bond SMP.
  9. Yeah as they point out he uses 'our' term GEN, and that is a big tell.
  10. Haha very funny, but the whole episode got someone banned (it seems like that)... We've got good reps my friends
  11. Anoyone who knows what the chinese symbols stand for? And yes Mickey is right, it really looks like someone who pushes an overloaded shopping trolley.
  12. Ok this is one of my many dreamcars, rare: The Mercedes-Benz 560SEC AMG 6.0
  13. Great, the UPO is something special, my first rep. Right now i'm actually awaiting my ss-bracelet, after using it with rubber for a month i wanted to try the bracelet. Congratz on a very nice rep
  14. Super nice combination. That strap is spot on. Very good looking watch. I'm so jealous

    J 11.5?

    The item description almost states that it is a replica... From description:
  17. Gillette Fusion + Gillette Shaving gel.
  18. Very beautiful watch and it looks like it has spent 30 years with a good owner
  19. That bodykit is so perfect for your car. A great mixture of the original Miata design and the Honda S2000. Good choice, love your car.
  20. Hi RWG, The time has come for me to introduce myself. I have been on the forum since december of last year. Recently I took the step and bought my first rep. A few weeks ago I made a new account with intention to be a active member.
