The link you have posted its an 21j too... Anyway if you have the spare money go for the asian clone movement. Best choice for the speciefic model!

I think that is the same model Narikaa sells. I had one once before I bought the UPO.

yes it is, but if you see it is stating it is in the same chassis as the swiss ver, the point being that it should be better rep with the cheap 21j movnt and at $128 its the same price as the basic one on their site

The UPO case has a SN# on the lug at seven. I don't see one on this watch. And the pearl is not even close to the UPO either.

It's not a bad watch for $128. It just doesn't look like the same case.

cheers Q5,

i'm not after perfection, just something that was close, so i think this maybe the one for me as its available in 42mm which is the current size for that model (sorce omega website)

and as a bonus with the special offer of $30 off for forum members i think its a good deal for $98 delivered

If you want a 42mm make sure it has the correct bezel!

Its almost the same edition from all dealers, so try to find out the best price out there... Since you are new to this i would suggest marvellous replica (@ http://www.marvellousreplica.com/ ) he is best choice for new guys and very friendly. Just my suggestion...

The current special in MR section is a V5 PO. Is this the same as the UPO?

UPO = Best 45.5 PO version
V5 = Best 42mm PO version (Usually called the 5th Generation PO or 5GPO because it's the next best one since the famous 4th Generation PO went out of production. )

What did the 4th Generation have to make it so good (apologies for the 'noob' question lol)

And what are the tell tale signs that you have a 5th Generation PO.

I am in the process of obtaining a 42mm PO described as 'Ult'. Should this be a 5th Gen?

I'm curious if the 45.5 is a better rep than the 42. Received an email from a dealer saying the 45.5 is better as the 42 often has quality problems?
