spikey Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 UPO from eurotimez $450 including AR from K2222 ... or this one: Gen Marathon T-SAR $450 more here ... This is the REAL tritium watch used by military dive professionals! This watch is the latest version of the well known Canadian SAR Wrist Watch. Known among the design team as the TSAR. The Tsar's unique features include Tritium Gas Tubes for illumination, ISA Quartz Swiss Quartz movement for reliability and accuracy. This watch uses the same 316L stainless case, 120 click timing bezel and saphire crystal as recent model SARs. The Tsar is the only Genuine Issue Tritium Wrist Watch with a Date display. Features: Movement: ISA QUARTZ High torque quartz module Dial: measures 27.7mm and utilizes Tritium vial technology Crystal: sapphire - 2.8mm thick x 30.50mm diameter Case: is cut from 316L stainless steel Case diameter is approximately 46.0mm Supplied with black natural rubber strap (very comfortable!)- Stainless Steel band sold separately Bezel diameter is 41.10mm, milled engraved and filled Case Height is 13.85mm Lug Width: 20 mm lugs with drilled holes Crown: 6.5mm dia x 5.50mm long, deep knurled Date: between 4 and 5 o'clock on the dial Tsar Depth Rating: 300 m/1000 ft The Tsar has a One Year Manufacturer Warranty.

Guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 no contest at all...UPO all the way...Got to admit 450 is kinda high.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppen Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 450 is over teh top for a UPO, get a silix one send it to k222, be done with the whole thing for less than half that agree totally, $450 is waaaay too much, you're paying $150 too much just to have the ar on your watch pick up one from PreciousT and send it to jakub yourself, at the most it'll add two weeks to the whole experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I have a GSAR myself. Couldn't be happier than this, the lume is like Ball Watches (uses tritium tube). Now I am AR coating the crystal. Yes... While the Omega PO is a good rep, I will still pick the GSAR as my daily beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Definitely the UPO, it is a very well built watch! As has already been mentioned get the watch yourself and send it off for the coating, you'll save a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 To minimize more cost, get the Asian ETA clone version. Movement is clean. With coating, it should not cost you 450USD. Perhaps much less than that (300USD if you can do your own crystal removal and installation). Spare money can be used to buy genuine hands/dial. Don't bother with the crown, it's really close to gen. I will wait till mine fails, then swap the crown. This one is the end result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hmmm... interesting. How much is the dial + hands + installation? To minimize more cost, get the Asian ETA clone version.

EuroTimez Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I never quoted 450 usd, I only quoted 350 usd shipped from within EU already in stock fully inspected, rubbers greased and water-pressure tested till 50m... with NEW Gen ETA movement SS strap?! Ar coating you should fig out with Jakub yourself I think he charges + 75 usd.... for installing / removing glass, AR crystal service --which I can only recommend--, shipping etc etc...

spikey Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah, I figured 350 upo + 75 AR + 30 shipping to US - ~450 for the whole experience... This would be my first high end replica and at this price there are a lot of gen choices... I'm still interested in a UPO 007 deal Chris, with just the rubber strap and your service - see my email please. Thanks, Spikey I never quoted 450 usd, I only quoted 350 usd shipped from within EU already in stock fully inspected, rubbers greased and water-pressure tested till 50m... with NEW Gen ETA movement SS strap?!
