Omega Fan Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 Gents has anyone ordered from puretime this beauty... is this the so called - long gone - UPO Lite ... there is an option to order it with AR sapphire for 128$ Does it have the 22mm lug width what do you think? Here she is: http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?product...cture_id=107832
b16a2 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 I was looking at this, I would double check with Angus, because it is quite possible the AR coating he refers to is the same that comes on the Sapphire galls of the UPO, which would mean it is an inner coating only, it seems a very cheap upgrade for sapphire and a double AR coating, but it's worth checking
Omega Fan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks mate! Well one thing is for sure that the case isnt the same as on the UPO since the ref not on the back is missing! So I just wondered if someone has ordered already this piece to share his thoughts with us...
andreww Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 This is NOT the UPO LIte. I had one of these in for repair from a friend last week. The plastic movement spacer isn't snug, and the pressure from screwing in the crown broke one of the dial feet and resulted in everything moving around freely. Just a badly assembled watch. The crystal is cheap (the one I had was scratched in several places), the He valve is positioned incorrectly, the crown is wrongly shaped, the bezel is loose with only 90 clicks (not 120), no serial number, bad pearl, no anti-magnetic cover, no steel movement holder, short hands, and probably a few other things I didn't notice.
andreww Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 BTW, when Puretime posted this at RG as an UPO Lite, I questioned him on it. He apologized for being misleading and promised to correct his mistake. I guess that didn't apply to his own site
Omega Fan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 damn I had high hopes on this one... anyways do you remember the lug width?
andreww Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 damn I had high hopes on this one... anyways do you remember the lug width? Didn't measure, but it looked to be 22mm.
Guest acg2010 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 It doesn't say ultimate lite on the site... Just says planet ocean lite.
hiker01 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 $128 with Saphire and AR glass! That's really tempting! But I'll wait for someone to review this!
