grilly Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 What up guys! Well I have finally done it. After a lot of research and reading this form for hours, I purchased a "beginners" rep. I bought an Omega PO Black bezel. I picked it up from Russ here on the board (great, great transaction by the way) and I'm really pleased with it. Now I have very little experience with reps, but have experience with Gen Omegas and I'm really amazed of the quality of this rep. I picked this up as a starter watch as I'm hoping to use this board to learn how to mod watches myself to create some of the beautiful pieces that I see from the members on here. This is going to be my experimenting watch. My question is, and this may sound really dumb so forgive me, but how much of a difference is there from the regular 21j PO to the UPO?

That's an awesome guide, but I can't figure out which one of those watches in that article is classified as the watch I have. It seems as the lowest level PO on that guide is the 4gen. I can see a few just from the pics on Trusty and what not, such as a serial# and AR, but other than that, what are the real benefits to spending 3bills on a UPO?

fakemaster Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The biggest contributor to the cost is the movement which is overkill since the gen doesn't beat that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mmm gen coaxial 2500C beats at 25,200 VPH due to stress on the escapement caused by the original high vph movement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
