ninjagaiden Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 @the_sazerac : Nice watch, specially with your skin tone. What's your wrist size, and is the bracelet / clasp comfortable on your wrist? My orange bezel looks good against light brown skin (I'm indian) but I've had to sand my clasp at the edges to get a comforatble fit... Must get round to taking a wrist shot...

The_Sazerac Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks guys, I'm truly enjoying the watch... I had the 41mm 300m chronometer (2220.80) authentic Seamaster back in the day, and I remember thinking that was the perfect size watch. But, I like the size of the 45.5mm watch on my 6.8" wrist, and it looks great. I contemplated with purchasing the orange bezel, but I wanted something a little more classic for the meantime... maybe I'll venture in that territory soon though! Looking forward to seeing everyone's new purchases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sazerac Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey Ninja, If you don't mind telling me, from whom did you order? (You can send a PM if you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 All my reps come from Joshua at Perfect Clones. Last night I took 'Glamour shots' of them all which I posted in the pictures section: I have been very pleased with the service from Josh. I have even asked him about sourcing other watches and he's been very transparent in his responses. Hope this helps N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Holy [censored] ninja your pearl is flawless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yep. I got lucky with the pearl. Anyone had any issues with waterproofing on their 45.5mm UPOs? I've been treating it with kid gloves but I want to wear it out with the kids today, and it might get wet after a nappy change handwash (the kids you understand, not me!)

The_Sazerac Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I've washed my hands and got the rep wet several times, and so far I haven't noticed any harm.... should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Cool. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sazerac Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Well, since i love the UPO so much, I decided to order my 2nd rep, this time the PO chronograph from Josh. I'll post the QC pics when I get them. Everyone was right when they said this is an addicting hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Cool. Are you getting the black or orange bezel? Be interested to see how the pushers look and how the modified 7750 runs ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sazerac Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey guys, here's my PO chrono rep. It's a great-looking watch and feels nice on my wrist like the UPO. The only complaints I have are that the lume is basically non-existent, and the date wheel is too deep. I maybe inclined to re-lume or perhaps even install the gen dial, but have no idea if the $ is worth it. But, I'm greatly satisfied, and am enjoying this beauty!

ninjagaiden Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Very nice. Black pushers look the business. Subdial spacing is good. Pearl placement is nice. Looks like you got a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
