Congrats man.... Can't go wrong with a Skyland.

Hi there,
Choose one.
1. PAM 111
2. UPO
3. Breitling Skyland
You can't go wrong with anyone of these watches as your first major rep.

This means only one thing.... More AR runs so that I can have all my watches ARed by Chief.

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.
Enjoy the project....
Cheers

Thats a sweet looking LE....
Enjoy Mate.

I'd wait for a modded PAM 111 to come along in the sales section. You'll save a lot in shipping cost
-
Not the real deal...
-
IWC 3717 or Slevin... When you are bored with it, they'll never be a shortage of buyers...

I wasn't here when Eddie Lee was around but a recent thread about him and his email communications had me in stiches.

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

Rolex actually wanted to make 5 of these but price of gold went up by 200% after they made one prototype. World leaders then imposed sanctions on Rolex not to make the other 4 in order to maintain economic stability.
Thast a keeper, chronology1066. Don't ever let it out of your sight.

Thanks Lani.... will have a look and will probably do it.
So buy the bay insert and use just the pearl or will the bay insert fit the UPO directly without modifications?
-
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.

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....
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.
Cheers

Open up your mind and open up your wallet... and the watch will come.

This is Godsend. Prayers answered.... I need guidance Master elisiX.
I am building a 7753 powered PAM 250. I have the old thick case, I have lello DW and I have a 7753 movt. I
I have been reading a lot about the dial problems for the 250 tat will not fit a 7753.
Question: Which dial should I be looking out for?
Cheers
