Good looking watch! Welcome and congrats

Hey guys, here's my PO chrono rep. It's a great-looking watch and feels nice on my wrist like the UPO.

The only complaints I have are that the lume is basically non-existent, and the date wheel is too deep. I maybe inclined to re-lume or perhaps even install the gen dial, but have no idea if the $ is worth it.

But, I'm greatly satisfied, and am enjoying this beauty!

That is a great looking watch. I love the blue wave dial and red Seamaster font... looks really good

Well, since i love the UPO so much, I decided to order my 2nd rep, this time the PO chronograph from Josh. I'll post the QC pics when I get them.

Everyone was right when they said this is an addicting hobby!

I've washed my hands and got the rep wet several times, and so far I haven't noticed any harm.... should be ok

Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your watches!

Hey Ninja,

If you don't mind telling me, from whom did you order? (You can send a PM if you want)

This is an awesome looking watch... I've been enamored with the Omegas, but I may venture into Tags with this as my first entry

Very nice! I love the accurate placement of the pearl

I was skeptical about the 45.5mm UPO when I ordered it, but it's a great size on my wrist. I'd imagine if you resize the band, it won't look out of place at all.

Thanks guys, I'm truly enjoying the watch...

I had the 41mm 300m chronometer (2220.80) authentic Seamaster back in the day, and I remember thinking that was the perfect size watch. But, I like the size of the 45.5mm watch on my 6.8" wrist, and it looks great.

I contemplated with purchasing the orange bezel, but I wanted something a little more classic for the meantime... maybe I'll venture in that territory soon though!

Looking forward to seeing everyone's new purchases

Hey guys,

Here is a quick wrist shot...

My wrists aren't too big, but the 45.5mm looks like the right size and not too big at all. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of this watch, and I never want to take it off!

If you have any other questions, just let me know.

Glad I joined the UPO rep family!

Hey y'all,

Finally received the watch yesterday. It looks and feels great, exactly like the QC pics displayed. I need to get the band resized, so I won't take any pics until then.

OK, more to come soon!

Update:

It appears my watch has been stuck in China because of a 6 day national holiday. My watch arrived for despatch in Ghangzhou on 9/29, but I suppose it was not shipped before the holiday started. Hopefully I'll get it very soon!

I'll match KB's offer and offer you $20 more!

Yeah, this news about ReplicaMake is disconcerting for my recent UPO purchase. He's been a good communicator throughout my transaction, though I still don't know if my product has been shipped yet.

Hmm...

Jkay,

Thanks for those observations. I would not have realized those older characteristics existed since I am rather new to this hobby. If the product arrives and appears different than the QC pics, that should allow me to return it for the product I ordered, correct? (I suppose it ultimately depends on the seller...)

Anyway, considering that these sellers all receive their products from the same warehouse/ manufacturer, would this mean that there is an abundance of supply of these older "UPO" models?

Thanks!

I'll take one for $25, thanks

Update:

After reviewing previous QC pics from ReplicaMake, I have decided to confirm this order. Interestingly, the 45mm version had a lower pearl placement on the triangle on the bezel, whereas a majority of the 42mm QC pics displayed a more centered pearl placement.

I'll update this when I receive the product!

You're right... that pearl is definitely a tad low on the bezel, but I'm ok with the words and spacing on the face. So, I should likely request a different bezel perhaps?

Hey guys,

Just got the QC pics and video from ReplicaMake... looks good to me right?

Hi everyone,

New rep collector here, but have been "studying" these forums for over a month. I finally laid down some $ on my first rep purchase, and I will update this thread with QC pics and the shipped product as I receive them.

Cheers!

Cobra,

Which movt did you order?

Thanks!

as long as you purchase the "ultimate planet ocean" or UPO as we call it, all the dealers sell the same watch. it doesn't matter which forum dealer you buy from.

Thank you sir for that info... does it apply to the 42mm 5th gen as well? Or are those not as mass produced and accurate?

It runs perfectly and a full 48 hours between wearing.

Looks and feels great on the wrist.

Great looking watch! Any problems with the crown so far? Also, which movt did you order?

Thanks
