I finished my Franken UPO with a genuine bracelet some weeks ago. I bought it from Ebay, the price was decent and it is in a pretty good condition.
I think the bracelet is genuine but I would like to have your thoughts too. I did try to search but I cannot find a comparison over a gen and rep bracelets.
So here's some eyecandy at the same time while you are judging
Gen dial, hands, datewheel, crystal, whole functioning bezel, gen ETA movement, he valve, tube and crown, bracelet.
And NO, I don't need a gen caseback, this is ok now
Maybe someone finds these pictures handy when checking what is wrong with out of the box rep UPO. I would say: pearl is not centered on the triangle. Dial base black color just black, gen has some sparkle on it. Date window wrong, does not have the same kind of edges that gen has. AR poor. Orange color tone may be a bit different. Of course lume.
