Is this normal on a UPO with orange bezel?!

[jkoelho]

Hi.

Recently I bough some replicas for me and some friends.

The problem is that the Ultimate Planet Ocean watches with orange bezel came with a very bad pearl. But since I never bough one of these before, I would like to know if this is normal or if I should ask the dealer for new ones.

Here are pictures of 3 different UPO with orange bezel I received, and I would like to know, if any one of them are eligible for ask a replacement.Thank you

I would ask for a new insert for number 2

If you ask me, I'll say number 2 is the best one.

I think I remember to have read that the pearl is a general problem with the orange bezel.

LOL..

no dealer is going to give you replacements for those bezel inserts. They are essentially millimeters off center, all of them, almost perfect in the replica world. If you ask many of the PO owners on this board, they would be happy to even get those pearls (most are oversized, protruding ones).

I blame on it on the oyster. They just don't seem to have a sense of equilibrium!

I agree. It's similar to the pearls on Subs...notoriously bad. The solution generally, is to shop for a better aftermarket insert and Pearl.

What I see that is wrong is the pearl that isn't centred and the lower corner of the black triangle where the pearl is inserted is orange, and in the original the triangle is all black.But for people told me that is normal in the replica :\

But does any one knows where to get a better bezel to change, similar to the original, but not expensive...?

I think the pearl looks good but the placement is off just a little. See below for comparison with gen. I know Otto has bezels for gen PO but I have no idea if it will fit the rep. good luck.
