I just wanted to get the best movement available for the watch, and the closest to the real thing as possible (including how it looks). I appreciate all the advice (about how i should avoid the swiss eta), i was just curious to know the reason why i should avoid it. At least now i know the reasons, which is i could be getting an old and dry movement, or i may not even get it at all even though i have paid for it. It settles then, i'll go for the asia clone movement. Thanks everyone, i really appreciate your advice and feedback. I guess the next step is to choose a TD with the best price for v5 UPO. :-)

Hi all, i just joined and posted a question in the omega forum. This is a really good forum with a wealth of information, in fact to be honest i am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of info and materials to read on the subject. I guess slowly i will learn more about buying high quality reps and not get scammed. I do have a few noob questions if anyone could enlighten me: 1. What's the difference between rwgforum.net and rwg.bz forums? 2. Rwg.bz only has a few trusted dealers, while in rwgforum.net has a lot more dealers that has their own sub-forums here (i assumed they are trusted dealers). My question is, why is it some dealers in rwgforum.net are TD (and they have their own sub forum) while in rwg.bz they are not TD? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there any particular reason why the swiss ETA is bad? To be honest, i am a bit inclined to go for the swiss ETA mainly because the movement / rotor is nickel plated and has insignia on it, which i think i closer to the real thing. The asia clone has a gold rotor, which i think the moment you open up the back and see the gold rotor, immediately would know it's a replica. That's from the apperance perspective. In terms of performance, is the swiss is better than asia clone?

Hi all, first post here. I'm considering to buy the v5 of PO 42mm. From my untrained eyes, the UPO looks exactly like the real thing, which is good. That's on the outside, but on the inside, I've been browsing the forum and trusted dealers threads, and there seems to be several versions of movements, such as the swiss ETA and the asian clone (gold rotor or something), which cost USD50 less. I don't know much about movements, but should I get UPO with the swiss ETA movement, or the asian clone is "good enough"? If it were you, which movement would you choose, and why?
