I have been waiting since forever for the trusted dealers to come back from CNY so can buy my UPO! In the meantime, to keep me sane, post us some pics!

I am going to be getting the rubber strap as well as the steel strap.. Is it easy enough to change strap from one to the other? Do I need any specific tools!?

Cheers! :lol:

Well when removing the bracelet its a little bit tough comparing to the rubber strap. all you will need is a spring bar remover tool...

to the photos!

hmmm :whistle: absolutely beautiful.. my wrist size is just over 7 inch.. hope its not to big for me!

have you been doing some 'franken' on yours..? looks like a thick date wheel? could be wrong!

looks so nice on rubber strap! :wub:

7" wrist is more than enough... Mine is just 6.6" but i love the watch so i would wear it even i had an 6" one lol.

Yes its a franken, gen datewheel, basically swiss movement in it... And i am with you on the rubber! Its a whole different watch with the bracelet on.

I wish I could pull off the 45.5 but my wrist is way too small...the steel strap looks unproportional for me. Rubber however looks pretty good.

Awesome photos Paparas!

Many thanks for your comments!

To be honest even the rubber isnt perfect fit to my wrist, there a small gap, but i find the 42mm (which fits really perfect on my wirst) really small...

I suppose i am influenced by the all the big watches out there :unsure:

7" from what i see and of course the other wrist shots that have been posted, i can say is just perfect for this one...

For once I'm thankful to have bigger wrists! Thankyou for the wristshots so far!

Really not too sure on the mesh strap...

Has anyone got the omega diver strap on their planet ocean?! - think its called that.. I think I saw a video in YouTube with it on and it looks stunning!

That's excellent news krakar! I have in my watch box a pam360 v2 & noob pam005... Think I'm pamed out now and so excited for the UPO! Never been a Rolex man either but heard everyone should have a sub.. And pretty excited for that too!

Overall I think my UPO is going to get the most wrist time!
