Hello everyone,

I know there are alot of topics which says: What is the best PO?

But I have a couple of questions?

I am looking for the PO black bezel, SS, white numbers.

1: What should I'll do 21J or ETA Clone? Wich one will be more the gen (smooth sweep)

2: Best rep??
- Never seen a flawless bezel (edges)
- HE? Position
- Correct Hands (long)

3: A 42mm or an 45 mm?

Regards,

-R!

Being someone that has a gen PO, I'd say...
1) Swiss ETA
2) Don't know, they all seem to sell decent ones now as long as you get the Ultimate versions
3) depends on your wrist size. I have a 6.75" wrist and I have the 45mm. It really depends on how you feel it looks on you.

1) I would say Swiss ETA but the clone one also is as good as the swiss, and you cant be sure if its really a swiss ETA that they are sending you. I'll advice you to get the Clone ETA.

2) Just get the UPO as its the most accurate model. Ask for pics before confirming the shipment.Thus you'll be able to check the HE valve position, pearl,hand,etc...

3) I have a 7"inch wrist and the UPO 45mm looks great on mine and what OpenMind said, it depends on you :)

Get an eta clone UPO.
All of the current 42mm versions have the wrong bezel teeth compared to the gen.

I have a UPO with gen dial, hands, crown/tube and pearl.

The sweep of the ETA or ETA clone is faster than the actual sweep of the gen PO. The sweep of the 21j movement actually mimicks the sweep of the gen Omega better than an ETA; the sweep of the gen Omega is kind of choppy - not as smooth as the ETA.

FYI you can't put gen parts on a 21j.
So if you think you might want to mod it in the future, get the eta.

Thanks guys,

Q5, nice watch, and nice feet :D! (omega feet)

Btw I have read that the 21 J the hands are shorter than the gen and the ETA has more 'gen' hands.

The bezel teeth, is indeed not good :( but I saw one time @ www.omega.ch a PO with this bezel teeth...?

Went to the site and now my computer is infected! :headdesk: WTH?


JK ....... Can you post a pic of a 42mm PO without a coin edge bezel?

Wow 5 is that a gen? ;)

You know and I know how perfect this thing is. And I owe it all to you!

Yes the UPO's bezel is more gen-like.
I'm sure even most 21j 45.5 PO's have the same bezel as well.
