Re: Official Group Buy, OMEGA UPO w/Clone ETA2824

Just an update,, still no word on when more black bezels will be available.
I have pretty much exhausted Orange supplies so I wont sell any more until I can confirm that I can fill the orders.

Although this is my first glance at the forum, I'm pleasently surprised by this group buy. This is exactly the thing I'm looking for: an affordable UPO. I hope there still is room for 2 orange ones!

Looks like I'm not the only noob interested in this one :)
If stock allows it, I'm in for a pumpkin.

I've went ahead and reopened the Group Buy on this seeing that there is more requests for it.

Black Bezel w/Orange or White Numbers is available as well as the Casino Royal edition with the "007" on the seconds hand are available.

Orange Bezel is available but stock is becoming limited..

Only if you want to keep it running. I've been wearing mine as an every-day beater (and, unfortunately, I have beaten the hell out of it) and it has not been on a winder for 2 weeks. It will run @2+days only being wound from my normal wear (don't know how long it will run - I haven't let it run out).
If you don't wear it or keep it on a winder, you will have to wind it a bit and re-set the time and date when you want to wear it. No big deal. But probably not a good idea to leave it completely idle for a year or two and then expect it to run. It might, it might not. I would wind/wear it once a month or so just to keep it loosened up.

Wear it well, my friend. It truly is a great watch!

If you don't wear it all the time then it's not a problem, just give it a quick shake to get it moving once you want to wear it again [if it has stopped], set the date/time and just put it on your wrist, the movement will keep it wound.

Of course without the mods ;)

These are a great deal. I would much rather just go with the clone mvt and save the money than pay for eta with only a small chance of actually getting one. Glad I don't need a fourth UPO or I'd think about it. Then again you know I don't have an orange bezel one. Don't have the 007 one either.

Taka, I love that watch! Did you do a review or post on this? I just re-dialed/handed my 42.

The 007 model I might think about. Very nice.

Jakub's latest AR, genuine hand sets (the 007 second hand is freaking expensive), genuine dial, relumed pearl, genuine crown+tube, rubber strap.

Simply the watch is too big for me, now the modded 4th gen PO 42.5mm, that's also a beaut.
