Hi folks,

Question - I've noticed that the recent 45.5mm UPOs I've seen do not have the Anti-Counterfeit logo on the Caseback.

I know the 42mm higher grade reps have them.
Have the 45.5mm ones ever had them?

You mean that globe thing? If so, I've got a 45.5 mm happy-feet, and it doesn't have it :(

Planning to get a gen caseback.

Yeah, some older POs didn't have the logo. Just like the old POs have blue AR. There are so many variations of the gen that it makes it hard for a novice to tell anymore. One great thing about them. :)

:D Appreciate the input.

That's the truth isn't it, we fuss so much over ONE version of a particular watch. When in reality multiple versions of the same watch do actually appear over the course of history. Rendering the versions we have in hand, more visually accurate than we give them credit for.

Yep, as said already, this is a recent addition, Omega appear to be phasing it in on all their models. My Seamaster Pro Chrono has it. Not sure how it's anti-counterfeiting, it seems extremely easy to counterfeit lol!

What Seiko is that? It has the Diver's emblem on a snapback case and no CGs. Very interesting.

Thank you sir! Saves me sending the pic to PS so I can read the model number. I thought someone would know :) I'll go looky for some pics now. It looks like an interesting Seiko.


EDIT: :facepalm: Yeah, of case it's an interesting Seiko :) Never seen one from the back before. This is one of the few Seiko divers I haven't had in for work/overhaul.

Good lord that seiko is ugly. Like circus ugly. 7th generation inbreeding ugly.

YMMV. Apparently boostin likes it :p
