I have to say that the SMP is one of the most comfortable watches. The UPO will take some time getting used to the size and weight of it. I would lean toward the SMP since I wear mine more than the UPO.

Just got mine this morning. It has the ETA stamp and 2824. Cant get it to show up on the pictures. Hope this helps.

How hard was the removal / Install. Did you have someone do it? Thanks.

Another SMP

I hope I am not the only one without any problems. I got it in July and could it be possible that the factory fixed the problem. Does anyonelse have one without a problem? Or am I going to have a problem one day. To those that did have a problem how hard did you have to turn the crown (to strip the threads) or was it like that when you received it. Thanks.............. I'm just getting a bit worried

AR is lite . I have not opened the case but it should be an ETA. Crown tube has not been a problem. I always turn it backwards to make sure it will not bind up, befroe I screw it down. My fear is over for now. (untill it happens to me) I thought the problem was asians PO's.

I have mine since July. Its the 45.5mm version. Quality is very good. Cant speak about the 42.5mm though. Hope this helps some.............................
