How accuret is the watch regarding to the gen? Is it the v5 or v5.5? and how reliable is the movement? /jorabe
fischyyy Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Get one of these, I have the orange one. But stick with either the swiss ETA or the ETA clone, not the 21J. http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_114&products_id=7063 http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_114&products_id=7064 The accuracy is spot-on.
danza1812 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 I was researching the exact same thing recently. I've settled on the Asian eta clone model from Trevor for $188. He has sent qc pics and it looks great, my big worry was placement of the he valve. It appears spot on now and his price and service have been top notch so far. I Plan on modding the watch with gen parts (dial hands, he valve, crown/tube and datewheel) so really for accuracy I'm not too bothered about dial etc, but to be honest I can't fault it thus far Good luck in your search.
fischyyy Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Well if you want to mod it, the 45mm UPO is the better choice, if not the 42mm is just as accurate, and in my opinion sits better on the wrist.
danza1812 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 I fully frankened a 45mm po, it was just too big for my taste, but they are as thick as a 42mm so they do have the feel of sitting flatter I agree. I've frankened a 4th gen po before and regretted selling as it was perfect so I'm enjoying going through the process once more.
jorabe Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Thanks for replies guys. I feel the 45mm sit a lite to big on the wrist, so the 42mm is my option. I just ordered the one that i posted in my original post. Will see how it looks when i recivie it.. /jorabe
