First of all, a big thank you to BWhitesox for the great transaction!!
The Watch
UPO Base
Serviced Swiss ETA Movement
K222 Double AR
Rep Rubber Strap
Impressions
I have always liked the PO and it is probably my favourite divers watch. I have lost count of the number of UPO's I have been through.
I always buy them and find that they just don't live up to the aura of the genuine. The genuine PO just has something extra that the UPO's don't. It could be the AR, it could be the lume, or it could be the texture of the dial. Whatever it is, I just can't seem to own the rep. Another thing I find is that it has never sits on my wrists particularly well.
I saw this UPO pop up in the sales area and thought I would give it a try (My 5th PO). I have never particularly liked the Pumpkin PO, but on the other hand I have never particularly disliked it either....it's more of a respectful type association that I have with it.
Well...that all of changed when I took it out of the packaging!
I seriously thought BWS had sent me a gen by accident. The AR makes ALL the difference to this watch. The orange bezel and the rubber strap is the nicest combination I have encountered (and I have owned most combo's). The rubber strap makes it sit so much nicer on my wrist, and it is very comfortable!
Additionally, the movement operates like butter thanks to the service!
Onto the important part......
