How is this? Anyone order from timeshop?

Criticism(s)?

Yeah I've used Mark in the past.... he was ok...

that "42mm" PO has the wrong bezel, though. The scalloped bezel comes on the 45mm.

The proper 42 has "cog teeth" on it....

The watch pictured is actually a 45mm version, not a 42mm. As previously mentioned the bezel is one way to tell, but you can also distinguish between the two by the position of the date window. On the 42mm version the window comes very close to the 3:00 hr marker, on this one you can see how far inboard it is. Its 45mm for sure.

Is this a UPO case then?

I dont recall seeing a "serial number" on the case, so perhaps not....

Careful about the dial as well.
The Asian 21J comes with DW that's positioned more towards the centre compared to ETA2824 and Asian2824/36 clones. This means the DW window had to be cut in a different place to accomodate the DW position. So...in case you ever decide to upgrade the mov't from A21J to A2824 or 2836 clone, you'll need a new, diferent dial to fit.

I believe hand posts are also diferent dimensions, so beside a new dial you may need a new hand set to fit.
