I've been away from the forums for awhile, but I recently returned and purchased a UPO 45mm...was actually thinking of purchasing the gen. I purchased the "pumpkin", and it really gets a lot of comments. Thinking about changing to the black bezel for a more subtle look, but I'm liking the orange so far.
I'll start off by saying that I am very happy with this one. We've all gone through the little "flaws" in a rep, but this one is incredibly good. The thing that really struck me is how accurate this one turned out to be time-wise. Just for kicks, I log a new watch to see what kind of accuracy, but I don't get too wrapped up in it. Well, I've been timing this guy for a few days now and I cannot believe that it is SPOT ON! ...maybe a second off atomic in four days! Now I have many high priced gen that can't claim that, with the exception of my Breitling B-1 SuperQuartz.
I have a few questions:
1) Can I get bracelet link pins from Ofrei? Will they fit, and if so, which ones? ..just the pins, not the links
2) Is there a recommended rubber strap for the 45.5mm? I know Silix and Andrew have them, but people have commented about the fit not being great. Some have said the Silix rubber is best fitted with larger springbars.
3) If I purchase a black bezel insert, does this bezel just "pop-off" easily?
