You have a 42mm PO often called the "UPO".

The watch looks fine to me...looks like an a2836 clone ETA. This is why you read a of us saying, "dont pay the extra $$ for a Swiss movement because you are rolling the dice whether or not is will BE a Swiss ETA".
I could be mistaken, there are some clues but I cannot see the gearing with the rotor in that postition. The 2836-2 and the ETA engravings dont look crisp and clean.

I have seen many a thread where fellas stand firm that the 42mm PO IS the UPO not the 45.5mm. I dispute that however.

Wrong bezel for either. It's a 45.5mm "style" bezel, but the cheap one. UPO and gen bezel has 60 points to it, that has less. Pearl is not UPO or v5 42mm PO quality. You have there neither the 45.5 UPO or the v5 42 PO. I'd be pissed off if I was expecting them and got that.

Ugh! Not sure what that is.

UPO is 45.5mm.

42mm has a coin edge bezel.

HE valve in the wrong place.

Just noticed the happy feet on the Omega logo. Don't get that mistake on the UPO and v5 PO 42.

Clone movement for sure. Look at the Etachoc. Should be V and not U.

Which dealer sell you this? And how much you paid?

If it's really the TD (assuming you did not get scam by the "rep" TD) you should talk to the TD again or look for Moderator if and only if things aren't within your control.

So the question is, how much did you pay for it? Fair price for that one is around $100 including shipping I guess..

That is a disaster tbh, the whole watch is off, difficult to know what concoction it is but it certainly isn't the latest UPO. Dial, He, case, bezel etc, everything is off.
If the TD made the mistake and he is worth his salt then he should rectify it without having you to send that back first. Ask if you can have the correct one and you will return ship that as soon as you have the other sent out.
I'd be pretty pissed with this, there is doa and other issues which are not a TD's fault, that is not as described at all so it is their fault.

UPO should look like this:

That's a low quality rep... How much did you pay for that?

Cause if you paid 50$ well that's ok, but if you paid 250$, well then we have a problem...

No, that case is a 42mm. You don't include the crown in the measurement.
