Ok lemme try and anwser this,

5th generation PO is one of the BEST reps out there..period.
Yes it is worth the money

The DG4813 is a 21j movement that is 28,800 vpm (smoother sweep)
The clone ETA is a replica of the ETA 2836-2
The DG4813 is NOT A CLONE of anything really...it is just an automatic Chinese movement. The great thing about the 21j versions is they are usually same great rep as the Swiss...just a less expensive engine.

I know guys who have bought $29 reps of the PO and a very happry with the quality.

Good Luck,

Rob

Don't all the currently available 42mm POs have a fubar'd HEV position guys?
that would be what MR was talking about.

If you want accracy, 42mm 5th generatiob orange PO will be the best.

Others has too much issue IMO.

I have just received a 42mm PO (with black leather deployant strap) from Watcheden. Good service from them but the HEV is wrong. I already have another 42mm PO (on a bracelet) bought from MR (great dealer) earlier this year and the HEV is spot on. On the Watcheden website, the photos of the watch were OK which is why I bought it. I notice that the watch has now 'disappeared' from their website. I have emailed them with regards a replacement. There is obviously an HEV issue with 42mm PO's at the moment.

Yes, this has been well documented here. ALL 42mm POs currently available have a badly positioned HEV. The pics are no longer on their website because it was pointed out to them that the HEV had been changed. They immediately removed the offending pics.

There is no correct 42mm PO available ATM!

This will be the case until all of these are sold and a new batch is made and that could take months.
