The new 42mm UVPO has arrived (added gen comparison pics)

[signumboy]

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.

that's so true, I don't have a huge wrist and that's why it is a remarkable flaw for me

The link shots , gen on the left.

Thanks mate, appreciated

It looks better than the 4th gen PO, i guess i'll place a PO the first week of January.

Awesome rep... counting the hours before mine arrives

Thanks SB for all the great pics!

[duduto]

Great comparison,, thanks for sharing

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?

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

@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.

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.

[signumboy]

No the clasp is good there are no issues with it.

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]

Great post signum...Thanks!

I think this will have to be my next purchase.

[cib0rgman]

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.

[mojako]

@signumboy,

are you planning to mod this with GEN parts?

[signumboy]

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.

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.

[mojako]

@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?

[valerian]

That is a great post! Thanks for all the pix! I have just placed an order for an orange one.

Val.

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?

[rychastings]

I wonder when this will start to come to the other dealers like watchinternational?

[Supremej]

I'm curious about this too, anyone know? I'm so close to hitting that buy button.

[amptor]

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.
