signumboy Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 well for me short hands would be a dead giveaway. As for the bracelet I think they wear different on different wrist size's anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 As for the bracelet I think they wear different on different wrist size's anyway. that's so true, I don't have a huge wrist and that's why it is a remarkable flaw for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojako Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 According to Josh this will accept GEN parts like the crystal and the bezel. I hope that is true! His price is a little steep though - $298 + $45 EMS shipping. Any other dealers that you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for the ETA movement, you can get a 25j asian clone for $50 or Josh is currently selling the UVPO with the DG4813 movement for $128+shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 @rcook, yeah I saw that.. but I want to mod the watch in the future, which means I need to swap in an ETA movement if I was to replace the dial and hands... so I think it would be better for me (in the long run) to purchase the ETA version.

danza1812 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Quick question about the clasp Signumboy, is the rep clasp too thick like the 4th gen or does it now sit flush with the bracelet when closed? A comparison of the clasps would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 No the clasp is good there are no issues with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Too lousy to find this info in the Movement Q&A section Is the Asian 4813 can be a direct swap (same pigon hand size) for a DG4813 ($30 mvt) in case that the mvt crash?

mjmurphy926 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Great post signum...Thanks! I think this will have to be my next purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 What I am really wondering is the crown and the tube will it hold up and not gave up like all the 45UPO I end up installing a gen tube and crown on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 @signumboy, are you planning to mod this with GEN parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signumboy Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 No I'm not planning any mods. As for the crown and tube I would say it has plenty of thread but the crown appears a little loose when unscrewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Awesome post! Great pictures and info too. I ordered one and it shipped yesterday. I am kinda wishing I had gotten the swiss movement now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 @signumboy, figured that, because you already have a GEN. Thanks for all the comparison pictures though. Does anybody know if the GEN Crystal will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 That is a great post! Thanks for all the pix! I have just placed an order for an orange one. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akilles Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I have the older version of SPO and there are two things that I can't stand. The annoing gap on the bracelet but the worst thing for me are the green-ish bars. They don't look white on mine, more like a fix of green/white/beige in daylight. It looks like the Omega logotype is quite correct placed but I can't understand; How hard can it be to make a perfect/correct adjustment of the logotype with one millimeter if they can make a the rest of the watch almost perfect?

amptor Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 It is a very fine rep and thanks for the pics of the b&w version. I am considering this one. I just am hung up on either 21j or 25j although the price leans me toward the 21j on the b&w. b&w 42.5mm is james bond's watch. he wore one in one of the last films but I forgot which film and what scene(s). usually he was wearing a 45mm but not always.
