UPO Touchdown.

[gtanak]

After a sneak preview... we have the unveiling. My 45.5 Omega UPO black bezel/white numbers ETA 2824-2 on SS bracelet with spare rubber strap.
My impressions:
The watch has a very solid feel on the wrist, good weight, slightly heavier than my Skyland avenger. I believe the UPO seems larger on the wrist because of the lug size. Coupled with a long solid clasp below, the watch can give a tight fit on the wrist. The bracelet is a pain to adjust.. quite a bit of tools needed for the operation. The rep lume on the dial however is unimpressive and will be relumed .. maybe to stealth blue Perhaps a gen dial will best resolve this. Bezel has 120 clicks, turns smoothly and i can't imagine if the ceramic Liquid metal version comes out.. that'll be a jigsaw complete. Only gripe i have is the common one about the flimpsy crown. It feels like the stem is going to snap when you're winding the watch. So most likely a gen crown, tube is a must mod for UPO. Most likely followed up with gen hands and a dial, Taka or chief AR and i think we have ourselves a keeper

Waiting for my Black bezel, orange numbers to arrive now


Enjoy folks!

That's what i call a UPO!

Yeah, the bracelet is a pain to adjust.. I swapped it for the rubber strap.

Bought from King. Her QC is amazing and she even opened to check i got an ETA from the factory before sending. Great deal as well!

Who Is "KING"?? Is that one of the trusted dealers here on RWI?

 

[relayman]

King is a trusted dealer over on RG. Very nice PO by the way. But, as you mentioned the 45.5mm is just a bit on the large size. I personally like the 42mm even if they can't seem to get the HE in the right spot. Shoot, except for RI members who would know that anyway?

King or Connie is also one of the trusted dealers on RWG which is where i spend already too much time on

Since she's not listed as a dealer here, if you want her contact either get it from the 2 other sites or PM me. Cheers

Thanks all for all the very nice comments. I read from Lani's review that this black UPO with white numbers go better with rubber and orange numbers go with the bracelet, i tend to agree. Prefer mine on the rubber now. Will wait for my orange number UPO and gen crown/tube to arrive before posting more pics...
