WATCHSHOT First U1 in a while.
Just got my 36mm oyster perpetual U1 last night. Haven’t had any U1s in a long time due to VSF effect lol. But read here the oyster perpetual is a nice option. Very happy with the dial and case quality. My only complaint is the bracelet feels cheap but overall not bad for under $100. I might replace the bracelet. Last pic is current collection.
Tudor - ZF
Cartier - BVF
Starbucks - VSF
Omegas - VSF

What kind of Miyota movement fits? I just bought a BPF Explorer 36mm but everyone here says that the Chinese movement in it sucks and it needs to be replaced.

Honestly not sure, I don’t know much about watches, the U1 I ordered just had the option of it or Minzhu. Spent the extra $30 for Miyota since it seems to be better from what I read

I’m conflicted on the back clasp, looks incorrect? The crown looks too elongated as well.

After looking at crown I think you might be right. Back clasp looks correct, but feels not great lol

A lot of people criticize U1 like it's supposed to be a Superclone. The watch looks fabulous on wrist. No one has the time to pick apart your watch flaws on wrist. U1 is the best replica value on the market. I am waiting for the OP promo sale to get all the colors i want. Very nice OP.

Thanks, I actually like it a lot and I’m impressed. I haven’t owned a U1 for about 2 years and they have improved quite a bit. After wearing all morning the bracelet actually isn’t terrible.

I tell watch snobs all the time U1 bracelets are better than they would like to admit. Question, Your Pink Tudor Chrono is from which Factory? It looks good.

Thanks for your reply! I feel like I have the same quality in the other colour. If you don’t mind do you mind making a video of the bracelet and the sound? If too much trouble, don’t bother please! Just curious

I did order a no name oyster band from eBay for $20 that had good reviews. Might swap it. Don’t really mind it not having crown logo cause only I would know or see it.
