Watch International 42mm PO with 4813 movement

[Bklynboy]

Excellent overall quality, even has UPO details like the correct engraving inside the case back

It had been waterproofed before I opened it as the seals were already greased, even the rotor is engraved!

The exterior case back engraving is not quite as sharp as on my 45.5mm UPO

All in very pleased with the new arrival!

[Q5?]

Your first pic is not the 42mm, right?

Does this movement still suffer the crown and stem problems that UPOs are well known for?

Darn photobucket!

Will fix later but removed first photo link for now

Does this movement still suffer the crown and stem problems that UPOs are well known for?

Crown and stem seems ok, not sure what problems the UPO are known for, it does seem to still be winding on the screw down but that does not effect the operation . . .

All PO bracelets are a bit more work than a normal Seamaster or Rolex or even a Tag to resize

A $6 pin press is required to remove and is available at our TD watch bitz

Also got a $1 mallet from the housewares dept that helps to put them back in, has a nice picture of a crab on it too....
