ironmarshal Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Wow, great looking watch. Where were you able to source the date wheels? I'm in the middle of a franken 42 PO project myself and I've been told the rep datewheel isn't lining up with the gen dial, but I've been unable to find a replacement. Can you point me in a direction please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well I never thought I'd say it but after seeing the bezel on your watch I've got to get one for mine. I always kept fooling around with the pearl but this does it. I've got the rest but just didn't want to spend the last $$. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Jim- The bezel is the icing on the cake. If you've got everything else done, the bezel will finish it off. ironmarshal- Hit up the usual 3 supply houses if you're in the U.S. If you're in the U.K. give cousins a try.

Stephane Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Fantastic work indeed Ubi! As usual The PO is a beautifulll watch and deserves your attention. I'm sure you will be even happier with the AR. It made a huge difference when I got mine done. Now, what am I suppose to do ...continue to mod mine or go gen Wear it well. All the best Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoast68 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I hate you, no, just kidding, wonderful work as usual Ubi. Im just struggling getting anything done in the hobby right now. Hopefully I can get into more projects when money is not so tight. How is the rep crown and tube on this one? Many POs' experienced these parts stripping out in short order. A gen crown and tube, when you get to it, will be an important upgrade. Enjoy that Omega!!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 southcoast- The crown is holding steady for now. It's not a great crown/tube set up (as the rep parts are not phenominal), but for now it will do As soon as it gives up, I'll be swapping out to gen. vly- Projects come and go... We'll see how long this one lasts in the watchbox... So far, so good, but one can never say for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makubex05 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Nice Ubi! The gen bezel and bracelet really bring it to the next level. I thought mine is finish...now you make want to get those parts Here is the orange brother: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ubi- Watch looks great. I may have to give-in and add a few parts to my big guy. I think it is time to sick R on that movement. If he can handle Unitas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hahaha....looks like there's going to be a PO couple in your collections, like your Daytona couple. Thinking about it... I should have maybe picked up the dial with the orange markers instead. Then I could have picked up a second bezel in orange and just swap the bezels back and forth. Instant model change without having to buy a second watch. Ubi- Watch looks great. I may have to give-in and add a few parts to my big guy. I think it is time to sick R on that movement. If he can handle Unitas.... Thanks, buddy. I forget- Which do you have? The uPO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Ubi, you have to do the crown. It's not just the quality, the rep one just look wrong. Looks like it has a circle around the omega logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 The crown will be taken care of eventually... AR as well. That is... If I decide to keep it for the long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
