I've had mine about 6 months. It and the SOH 46 V2 pretty much get all the wrist time at the moment.
Which one...???>>>
There have been so many ALLEGEDLY "Ultimate" versions of this watch over the past 5 years, that my mind is boggled!!....
I have been wearing (occasionally) a version I bought in 2006, for @ $80.00, and whenever a "new" edition pops up, I compare them , and none of the subtle differences that are often judged as "revolutionary" by "geekdom" have ever motivated me to upgrade my selection...
oddly, my DNUPO (decidedly NOT ultimate Planet Ocean) is one of the few watches that has ever been noticed by a "civilian", and commented on!! And....that time, it was by a fellow wearing a gen Po, and his comment was: "nice watch!!"....
Here's a scan of the "junker":
It has a long list of "faults" including:
He placement, 20MM bracelet, asian 21J movement, no AR,(I removed it when it clouded up!!) and total lack of Planet Ocean engraving on CB, but none of these "flaws" detract from the fact that it's been running flawlessly and COSC accurately for 4+ years, and the lume on it still glows like a torch for 5-6 hours, and nobody I meet REALLY gives a $hit what kind of watch I'm wearin!!

Mine came from the D4M group buy. It IS the ultimate UPO A) because it's a great watch, and B) because D4M said so!
