Well I have had my new PO Asian eta lite for about a week now and it has stayed on my wrist the whole time except for showers. This is a great deal and I am very impressed. I had mistakenly ordered the 21J PO and had to reorder the Lite version and I had both for a short time so I was able to compare them. I had wanted the lite version because of the 22mm bracelet. The 21J version has the 20mm bracelet, with them side by side I could barely tell the difference but I had tried on the Gen PO on a recent cruise and I kept the Lite and sold the unused 21j version to a fellow forum member, hope it has arrived in GB by now.
On to the Lite version because I did not compare it to the 21j except for the bracelet.
Lume - This is the best lume I have seen on a rep, the thing glows all night maybe I am just lucky but it seems to have been done with superluminova!
Xtal - I love the domed crystal, anti reflective works well and I hope it is saffire but I will be careful anyway.
Dial and hands - Wow this is very legible and the hands are long not like my first PO version 2 or 3 maybe bought last year, again I can read this thing without my reading glasses like my gen 6309 diver, a real plus and the dial size is huge.
Bezel - What is not to like on this, lines up and clicks firmly but not to stiff and the side view is a thing of beauty it you admire dive watches like I do.
Bracelet - This is a real strong point for me the curved profile on this band is the big draw for me and it is very close to the gen, maybe a little more gappy between the links but still outstanding quality. I did break the fixed pin on the clasp while adjusting this beast and my ghetto fix is hysterical I will post some pics later but a pin from my wife pincushion worked like a charm.
Overall this is the best rep I have owned in my small experience but IMO this is a beauty, I wish I knew the WR on this as it would make a great dive watch.
How can the rep factories get this close? Are the Omegas built in China? and the rep factories get the extra parts, fuel for speculation anyway.
Cheers
Dave
