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

[signumboy]

Firstly a big thanks to josh for very fast service.

Well what can I say... Wow very impressed looks very good in the flesh.

[signumboy]

A couple more.

[FxrAndy]

Looks very good

wrist shot?

[ryaku]

Couple of questions please :

- how about the bracelet? is there the big gap there was in the 4th gen Po?

- Ar looks weak from pics, is that correct or a wrong impression?

Thanks mate

forgot to say, it looks beautiful, sligtly better than the old 4th gen

[signumboy]

I have'nt had chance to size it yet. and a I might move it along. as I've a gen on the way, and then I will decide which one to keep.

[signumboy]

The a/r looks good, alot better in the flesh . Though these pics were taken under spot lights.The bracelet is gappy around the end link.

[ryaku]

So i guess there's no improvement on this, that's a shame since a gen bracelet is a costy upgrade

Thanks

How's the he valve position? Is it close to the 4th gen?

[signumboy]

Ok sized and wrist shots. I cant compare it to the 4th gen as I've never had one , but as the 4th gen is like rocking horse [censored] then I guess this is as good as it comes. For me I'm more than happy.

Thanks for sharing. Looks really good. Almost identical to 4th gen.

Is the clasp much thicker than the bracelet? My 4th gen had that problem. Some qc pics of this model look that way too.

How Is the ar? Close to gen?

Any chance of exact crystal diameter, I'm wondering if it will transplant onto my 4th gen.

This does look like an ultimate version of the 42mm. Definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the 4th gen. A little bit better than the UPO. Not perfect but real close

Some things i noticed.

-AR coating is definitely better than stock out of the box UPO

-Pearl is better than the UPO

-Improved caseback, not just with the anti-counterfeit logo but with the engraving of the hippocampus

-Omega logo is better than UPO but not perfect

-He valve is in correct position

-The "952" on the bracelet endlink is upside down

Also noticed that looks like there is a blemish on the dial on the rightside of the Omega logo. Now that's QC fail.

Overall looks good

BTW how's the lume on this version?

[mojako]

yeah how's the lume? According to the Perfect Clone's site, it should have superlume?

[signumboy]

lume is typicle rep lume , no super lume here. also no blemish it must be a thumb print on the outer glass.

[Migge]

Damn this looks great, thanks for sharing mate

[luckyman]

Look closely at the right side of the omega logo, there looks to be a chip in the dial print

[mojako]

@Signumboy,

Thanks for the reply. Where did you get yours?

[ryaku]

Josh, Perfect clones, is the dealer, he wrote in the first message

[mojako]

@Ryaku,

Thanks. So it's interesting why it isn't superlumed when their site says it should be... ODD

[signumboy]

Yes you are correct there is somthing near the omega logo, but you cant see it in the flesh .

As for super lume all josh states its great lume stick markers. Not super lumed.

[rcook]

I'm looking at Joshua's site right now and the price seems to have dropped quite a bit, also it would seem that the movement is no longer listed as the 25j ETA or Asian clone, it's now listed as an Asian 4813 clone. The price is definitely right but is the movement significantly worse?

[robertk]

I don't know that it is worse, just lower grade. On the non-chrono's it should be reliable. simple movement.....but reliable.

[mojako]

Oh, so when rep manufacturers say that great lume stick markers, it means regular rep lume. hahaha. Oh well, i was probably expecting more from them.

Did some googling, the 4813 is a clone of the miyota (citizen) 8125 movement of which I have (and had) in at least 2 watches and it works fine so not a problem. I placed my order a little bit ago, can't wait.

Yep, when I saw the price I didn't even hesitate. I just sold a moddem Seiko SKX at WUS so I had some funds burning a digital hole in the pocket
