45 mm v5 better than 42 mm v5

[amsmanny]

Hey I have been hesitating on which watch to get..

is the v5 planet ocean 42mm not as good of a replica as the

45 mm version and if so why?

for the 42 mm which dealer has the best replica you have seen?

and is it just me or are the numbers on the rep just more like silver opposed to the white numbers on the gen

thanks guys!!:cheers:

Both are good rep. Their bezel pearl is one of the big tells only

I recently acquired a V5 dial and when comparing to my UPO dial I can clearly see the quality difference between the two. The V5 dial is clearly the winner. The orange is closer to gen. and the white print is laid on thicker like the gen. Here's a pic, I'll take better one's later.

Both are good rep. But I think the 42mm is more accurate compared to 45.5mm.

For the UPO, The bezel "teeth" is one of the tell.

For 42mm, the bezel teeth is surprisingly gen like

Your picture is of a 42mm planet ocean and not a 45.5 mm Not sure if you knew that. The coin edge is on the 42 and more scalloped edge is on the 45.5 gen POs

Hi Buddy,


My bad. You are right!

I'm sure the UPO (45.5mm) is out of stock anyway.

It is... I'm been emailing dealers trying to source one...
I'm told orange is available but no thanks
