By-Tor Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Posted November 25, 2007 By-Tor the snow dog! I wonder how many people on here know thats from a Rush song. How is your UPO holding up after almost a year? I ordered one today from Josh. I think they know it by now, it was mentioned in my interview. I just recently traded my UPO, because I never got used to the humongous size. I think the smaller 42mm is much nicer version of the PO's. Too bad the 4th Gen rep isn't as good as the UPO. Most people think the XXL version is nicer, it's a taste thing. The watch always worked perfectly, absolutely no problems. Enjoy, it's a great replica!
ta8088 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 BT's reviews are great. I love my UPO. I thought it was huge when I first got it but the more I wear my bigger reps the more I like them.
confused69u Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 BT's reviews are great. I love my UPO. I thought it was huge when I first got it but the more I wear my bigger reps the more I like them. Anyone have pics of their UPO on their 6.5-7' wrists from a distance? I just want to size it up. Much appreciated.
trueimage Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I am wondering what I can do to make my UPO "better" What should I change about it? What movement should I put into it? Get a gen dial? AR run? superlume? PS I got mine about 9 months ago from Josh.
Pugwash Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 What should I change about it? What movement should I put into it? Get a gen dial? AR run? superlume? Get AR. If you decide you need superlume, get gen hands and dial instead.
Rocksteady Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Great review By-Tor! nice to see scandinavia represented! picked me up one of these babies, got 7.5' hands so hope it fits. keep up the good work
confused69u Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Having both the Rolex SSD and UPO, the SSD is simply too small and like the reviewer states, it does look like your wearing a ladies watch. I don't think I can go under 45mm now despite having only 6.75 inch arms.
marcl Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Hi guy's i'm new to this forum so please exuse me if ive missed something but where can i buy this UPO rep. Preferably in the UK. Great review by the way. kind regards. marc
Sloo_Dc2 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Where can I get the watch AR coated? With all of the flaws of the different generations, one would think that maybe they would have used an original to build the replica.. My dad has the original orange bezedl/chrono w/rubber (fakes are leather which I don't understand) straps/orange stitching.
crap80 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 sorry for the noob question... but where can I get hold of the UPO? i afraid i might end up buying the wrong version i.e. Ultimate Lite etc... would appreciate the kind help... thanks a million!
numptyj Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) sorry for the noob question... but where can I get hold of the UPO? i afraid i might end up buying the wrong version i.e. Ultimate Lite etc... would appreciate the kind help... thanks a million! depends where you are based but most dealers will carry it, Josh, Andrew (trusty time) or if you are based in Europe PT a.k.a Precious time will be your best shot. The UPO is the 45mm version and these dealers will have it with ETA movements Edited May 13, 2009 by numptyj

skx172 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 just got a new Gen PO and was able to compare side by side. Here is a quick list. Luminosity- much brighter on the GEN, further the lume material itself is a whiter color and the gen, the UPO looks yellowish when compared to the GEN lume. Crown- unscrews much smoother and when winding the watch feels smooth AR is better on the GEN Weight - Gen seems substantially lighter
ianagarrison Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Question: Is the UPO bracelet held together with pushpins?
Ne0n Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Question: Is the UPO bracelet held together with pushpins? It's just like the original bracelet, pins and bushings. Take it to a qualified jeweler if you want to size it, i've bent pins trying to get them back in place.
ianagarrison Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 It's just like the original bracelet, pins and bushings. Take it to a qualified jeweler if you want to size it, i've bent pins trying to get them back in place. I tried one Jewellers and they said they'd need to send it off to Omega to be resized Time to try another one tomorrow.
Dr.Verylong Posted January 21, 2010 Report Posted January 21, 2010 You just need a pin pusher tool and a watchman's hammer to put them back in (use the plastic side, not the metal part). This is easily done within minutes.
BrianSW510 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 From where would one suggest to purchase one of these watches? Particularly, an EU dealer ?
Bobbywaingro Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 From where would one suggest to purchase one of these watches? Particularly, an EU dealer ? Hello, last time i checked PTswiss had them in stock
rockout Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 Does anyone have a suggestion for a seller that ships to the US. BTW ive been stalking and reading the forum for a while and ready to make a purchase
Maars Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Where's the best place to source this watch these days? Precious Time?
plaifender Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Where's the best place to source this watch these days? Precious Time? Most dealers have this watch. I bought mine from Angus @ Puretime. Mine even came with an Anti-magnetic cover over the movement.. i've heard lots of people's don't even come with this! Thing to watch out for is the Crown and Tube. Mine is already starting to strip... So the gen crown and tube is a VERY necesary mod I'll be installing new crystal, gen bezel insert and gen bracelet on this over the course of the next year pics: Anti-magnetic cover installed over Swiss ETA movement:
