42.5 PO with 21J movement?

[riffram]

Is the quaitly and look close to the same vs. 4th generation PO 42.5? Pictures on web look very close or identical, and I think the 21J movement will be fine--unless the rest of the watch is not close enough.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Absolutely not. I ordered an orange 4th gen for myself and a 21j black version to give my brother. The finish was completely diffrent and I had to return the 21J.

Wow--I am really surprised that there is such a difference, since the photos look so much the same. So---I won't buy the 21J version. Thanks much for the info.

Who is the dealer? It might be that you're comparing apples and oranges.

That said, if you shop around you can pick up the ETA for a great price anyway.

Dearer is Andrew/Trustytime, with the 21J 42.5 PO version which looks to be virtually the same as the 4th gen he sells at about $100 more. If the movement is the only real difference, I'd get the 21J---

but it sounds like that may not be the case.
