The last few months i am thinking of starting a Franken UPO, i purchased from Q5? a nice V4 42mm PO but i thought it was small, so i did it and took a nice one 45.5mm from my friend MR ... I could give the details about the new v5 UPO, what's the differences with the previous generations etc but you already know them, don't you? I wouldn't even give you photos but i know you like them, so with no further delay lets proceed directly to the photos...

Sorry for the crappy photos fellows but beside it is just a nokia 5mp camera the weather today is very cloudy. My overall impression of this one is very good. Heavy watch,the bracelet feels very very good. I dont think many things have to be done. Of course the pearl is the bigest "flaw". So rep factories fix that, some details on the dial,the He Valve and the crown and there you go you have a genuine rep lol...
I hope you like them...
p.s. Do i have to tell that MR rocks or i repeat myself???

Very nice paparas!
How does the crown feel compared to the 4GPO?
And which movement did you pick?

You should black out the SN# in your pics. You don't want anyone using it!

Damn the serial number i forgot about it hehehe... The crown feels really good,and i have noticed that when setting the time you dont get the second hand moving like on the 4th gen. I took the asian clone this time, as the reading in the forum affected me. I am thinking though purchaching a swiss one from smidsy for my franken...

No - I don't know all the differences.

I'm currently wearing my UPO from the D4M group buy 2.5 years ago, and the only real difference I can see when really studying the pics is that my dial feet are a bit "happier".

So what differences should I be finding, and how minor must they be?

BTW - nice watch! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I love mine
