  1. The UPO is fully moddable in the hands of a good modder.

    Question is how far do you want to go and how much you wanna spend?

    Musts:

    1. Gen Dial

    2. Gen Hands

    3. Chief AR Crystal

    4. Gen crown & tube

    Optional

    1. Bezel insert from fleabay - Wholesale Outlet

    2. He Valve assemble

    With regards to spring bars.... I dont know if its necessary to buy gen, just buy 22mm spring bars in different thicknes to get the best fit.

    My franken turned out like this.

  2. Brilliant acquisition. You cannot do much better than a fully pimped up 177. Excellent choice. Smart way of collecting reps is buying fully modded pieces from members of the forums. But most of us just can't wait.....

    Awesome looking strap as well but SC straps gives me rashes when I wear em... But that's just me

  3. Thanks guys for looking and for the comments.

    Chief AR is an absolute must but the clumsy careless oaf in me managed to to get two scratches on it hours after receiving it. Car keys and watches don,t go too well together.

    @stevekill - I am fortunate to have someone locally willing to take on the job. As for Chief, he's having an AR run now. have a look in his section for details.

    Cheers

  4. Yo Peeps,

    Got my UPO back from my local watchmaker. But nows its fitted with Gen dial, hands, crown and tube + Chief's AR. Just some regular mods, not as "hardcore" as some of the other leading members.

    This is my first Omega rep and I had to get it once I saw RobbieG's gen 42mm PO. So thanks Robbie, you just cost me a few hundred bucks.... :D

    Pictures taken using Oly P&S... So sorry for the poor pics. Resolution defenitely not as good as the Sony DSLR... didn't expect the difference to be so noticeable.
