try vac, most of the good modded ones that come up for sale are modded by him.

Vac's Section

That's the 45mm version. They finally fixed the damn logo and the AR looks to be improved, too bad the pearl still blows

Perfect angle to show the greyness of the dial text. Glad to see the datewheel is fine. That's one less mod you need.

@Kal Vilmer: Click the link in krpster sig. He wrote a great article stating the differences between the V1 and V2 SOH.

watchpart.co.uk is out of black datewheels.. where can i get one?

You could try contacting ofrei and ask if he hasn't shipped out the parts. If so maybe he could it with your current order. AFAIK he has some of those, just have to ask.

If not maybe you can try ebay.

edit: removed link. The datewheel I posted was the wrong one. It doesn't have the flat top "4"

I think you forgot to include an ETA datewheel for this one? It is rumored to have a silver/grey datewheel although on your pics it looks white. Hope I'm wrong

looks gen to me

Wow, that pearl is hideously protruding out of the insert. Could you possibly sand that thing down? Also could you possibly or feasibly swap the HE valve of the UPO for the 42mm?

Thanks for replay....

So it seems to be a flaw on all 5th gen PO?!?!

The numerals on the Dial are white as it shut be compared to the text......

Is your date also shiny silver?

I'm not sure. Like I said, the pics aren't mine. But based on my powers of observation they look like the same color as the dial text(not including 12,6 and 9 numerals)

jchurch posted some great closeups of the dial over at the other thread. Based on his photos it does look a little grayish but i don't think it looks that bad. But hey what do i know

Great pics jchurch and thanks for the closeup shots of the dial. It looks like the logo is still incorrect as the feet should be closer together but that is being too anal about details. I'm probably gonna get me one of these now.

@jchurch: could you post some close up shots of the dial showing the omega logo. I'm on the fence on this one since some of the pics I've seen for this model seem to indicate an incorrect logo but yours showed it to be perfect although it had bad lighting. Also a wristie would be awesome

Look closely at the right side of the omega logo, there looks to be a chip in the dial print

This does look like an ultimate version of the 42mm. Definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the 4th gen. A little bit better than the UPO. Not perfect but real close

Some things i noticed.

-AR coating is definitely better than stock out of the box UPO

-Pearl is better than the UPO

-Improved caseback, not just with the anti-counterfeit logo but with the engraving of the hippocampus

-Omega logo is better than UPO but not perfect

-He valve is in correct position

-The "952" on the bracelet endlink is upside down

Also noticed that looks like there is a blemish on the dial on the rightside of the Omega logo. Now that's QC fail.

Overall looks good

BTW how's the lume on this version?

i wonder if they were able replicate the jumping hour hand for this one?

I'm pretty sure everyone will be interested in this project. Hopefully we will see pics of the finished product soon

i'd be very interested in a group buy for a UPO with corrected OMEGA logo

Keeping my fingers crossed for this one

4th Gen 42mm version is ok, but not up to today's replication standards. It's better to wait or get the UPO.

True, but in the latest bond movie and probably in casino royale, DC wore the 42mm version. Also my wrist is only 6 inches. So i'd probably look like an idiot with the UPO. I want this watch so bad the gen version is just calling out to me

Yeah, they should make it quick. Last I heard, the rep factories stopped making the 42mm PO.

With Quantum of Solace just around the corner, Omega is heavily marketing the 42mm PO to be the new Bond watch. I'm still thinking if I should buy the gen. Now I'm wondering if the rep factories are in the works of a new version of this watch, may it be the normal version or the QoS version?

I can already imagine the high demand for this watch. If they can make a super rep of this it'll sell like freshly made hotcakes

Here's my contribution to this thread..

b00b squeeze, nipples and a sub... what more can you ask

Now the big question is that sub a rep or gen?

how big is this watch? will it look good on a girl's wrist? planning to get one for my girl.. also where to get one..

thanks

just want to know what are the tell signs if a GMT Master II is gen or rep? like correct hand stack or adjustable something.. somebody pls explain this to me

me.. need noobmariner parts

well i'm from asia so it won't be much of a problem for me.. the problem for me is the mods
