mingray Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well its here!!...........a supposed UPO bezel?...sample arrived today and first glance seems very good, if someone could take a look and tell me if these are better than standard fare i will order some in quantity!..... i was sent 45mm black but NO LUME PEARL FITTED!...so i just removed one from the cheaper version for now to see how it compares... I have contacted my source and asked for ones complete with pearls.. as a comparison heres a pic of the first bezels i was sent next to the latest vesion, the latest version seems more 'coated' as in it feels finished,the numbers are thickerand better defined aswell.. So any ideas if these are more suitable???...as soon as i get confirmation on the pearls i will post a pic.. Ming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 They look good to me. Can't wait to see the 42mm's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's ALL about the pearl. Without a pearl it's just as worthless as the rep version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmarshal Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Are you going to be doing the 42mm bezels as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingray Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Are you going to be doing the 42mm bezels as well? Yes i will be ordering 42mm orange.. i will post some pics of pearl later... Ive had a reply stating the pearls on these are independant of the bezel,and only come with case...but he can supply the pearls.. does this seem strange.....

The Pearl on the UPO is kinda glued to the case... I prefer these versions with the pearl included, it's a pain adjusting the old pearl to a new bezel sans pearl. Count me in for a black one... Have you got the Black rubber straps yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Ask them to take a look at the gen and go from there. Like rolexman said - its all about the pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
