ok here's what ive learned this weekend, the Gen gasket is slightly taller but still fits in the groove, however it is about 0.15mm thicker not much, but too much to get the crystal in, Mounted my Dremel in a vice with a stone grindiing tip on and rolled the gasket around it to shave it down a bit, and managed to press the crystal in, although it was real tight it failed a pressure test, i guess there is no way to shave it down evenly all the way round, so a big waste of time and back to the rep gasket and a not very tight crystal

Ok one of my Upos , needs a new gasket due to repressing the crystal to many times, so its time to fit a Gen crystal while im at it, does the Gen gasket fit ? all i can find out is that its wider\thicker than the rep

right can i replace it with a 2836 then ? how is it modified ?

Guys, i have trustys Bond Gmt, the display back one, i need to swap the movement to a new one as its packed up, it supposed to be a swiss 2824 would this be a straight swap or has the hand stack been modified to get a GMT hand on there ? any ideas ?

Great sgtguk, glad someone has done this, before i order my Chrono version, i dont need to order an extra rubber strap then, cant be much in it but the gens are deffinatley different sizes the chrono is wider

Guys, does anyone know if the 45 mm UPO and the chrono version use the same lug width & therefore share the same bracelets and straps ? as the gen versions are different and incompatible

i always get a sweat on when Handed Over To Customs, appears and seems to Hang for ages

Great thanks, that matches my latest UPO dial, never realised the 2009 version was so far out, might have 2 go the Gen dial \ hands route now i know , it will bug me.

Guys, just discovered a old post about UPO's regarding the Text size and position above the 6, i have 2 upo's one from early 2009 and the new updated version from last year, both from Andrew id never even noticed buy my 09 UPO has the bad text too close to the 6 and too small the dial color now looks a bit flat compared to the newer one, both are back\white can you shed any light on the different dials that have been in upo's are all the latest one's now correct

gonna try that this weekend i feel its the rubber o ring undercompression thats causing it
