Payment sent last night, can't wait to get it! I had the hardest time deciding between Black bezel w/ Orange numbers and the Orange bezel...

Black Bezel w/ Orange numbers won :)

Thanks again!

Definitely appreciate your hard work for us!!!

I have one on order from D4m as well, cant wait to get it & show my wife :) See I got burned & bought what I thought was a UPO from http://www.ioffer.com, I got a pc of Junk & the seller would not agree he made a mistake even when I showed him pics, so I taken & burned, stay away from ioffer, yikes! I will compare the Ioffer watch & the UPO to show my wife the Quality difference.

D4M is the man. I ordered one and D4M examined it to make sure that I had a "good" first purchase. Unfortunately, USPS managed to loosen the rotor. I sent it back to D4M. He offered to look at it and try and fix. If he couldn't fix, I had the option to wait for another or get my money back. I wanted the watch, so he opened it up, fixed the watch AND siliconed the o-ring to help with waterproofing. Plus, he made a short video to show me it working after two days.

I have it I am very pleased!!! Really nice quality watch. The rotor is a bit loud, but it reminds me that it is an automatic.

THANKS D4M

Big Thumbs up to D4M, I was lucky enough to get on this group by and received the watch yesterday. PERFECT! I took a picture of it tonight with my Gen Tag. The UPO is a giant compared to the Tag! Thanks again D4M!!


Gen Tag vs UPO:

well, it is out of Group Buy status... my orders of 5 are down to orders of 1 or 2... price increase of $5 .. but oh well.. still a great deal..

An update... I had an unusual amount of loose rotors out of the last 10 ordered.. I had 3 with loose rotors and 1 bad movement (happened tonight)
But overall... with quite a few sold I would have say that this has had a very high success rate (working / broken ratio)

I feel really bad for two guys in particular.. first purchase of a replica and got bad ones.. :( but I am / are taking care of them of course..

I will be making a report card of sorts for me.. it should be a good guide for what people can expect when ordering a replica... problems.. etc..
