What a PIA

From what I read on the other forums, a lot of the swiss movements are actually ETA clone movement made in asia.

This thread was started about a yr ago....do the current UPO still have this crown issue? Ugh...I was going to pull the trigger on one today, but if the crown is only gonna last 2 months..............

I saw this pic and am sold. I am looking to pick up this model and purchase this strap for it. Does anyone know where it can be sourced? Original is 200 bucks!!

22mm strap..... will this fit the 42mm AND 45.5mm version?????

If you are going to go with the steel bracelet I would go with the 42mm. It will fit you cleaner especially when you wear long sleeve shirts or dress shirts. If you are going with the 45 pick up a rubber or leather strap and it will fit you much better. My wrist is 7" and I am debating.....although I will most likely wear it on the rubber "bond" strap most of the time if I get it.

This just arrived yesterday and I thought I'd show it off. The bracelet was a [censored] to size, and I actually broke a pin in my attempt to do so. I took it to a jeweler who worked his magic. 5 minutes and $5 later it was on my wrist! The only issue is that the pearl is not sitting flat, but because the logo is straight, the crown screws down smoothly, and it is dead on to the second after 24 hours, I'm not that worried about it.

Great pics. Can I ask how big your wrist is? Mine is about 7 inches and I am not sure if I should stick with the 42 or go for the 45. There are no dealers within an hour of me so I can't even go and try them on. Also, does the rubber strap that fits on the 45 that bond wore also available for the 42? That might be a determining factor since I would want that rubber strap.
