Silix UPO

Recommended Posts

Akira

I've bought a lot of different UPO models and I really like the design.

 

The newest version I got from Mary had already the correct logo (without happy feet)

but still HEvalve dislocation and off-centered pearl.

 

Now Silix promotes a version you can see here:

Peal looks great, stamped backcase but what's wrong with the logo?

 

My UPO:

Silix's version:

I really don't know how I feel about this version?

Your thoughts?

Yeah, looks like they fixed one thing but made another mistake elsewhere. The logo is certainly too close to the words in the Silix version imo.

 

Question is which "issue" bothers you the least!

The too close logo is no go.

The pearl isn't that bad, but I enquired Silix to sell me the insert seperatly :D

Agreed that the logo is really too close to the word Omega. But the pearl is the best I've seen on a REP so far. So close....yet so far.

Talked to Jee.

His factory doesn't to sell the insert, but he'll do his best to negotiate a deal.

They still need to move that pearl up so its in the centre of that triangle, it shouldn't be that hard!!!

Logo with flat feet

The offical Omega logo has happy feet, but the gen dial has flat feet.

I personally think the dial and logo issue would bother me more than the pearl issue. Don't really know why but I guess I concentrate more on the dial than on things like bezel, crown, pearl...
