  1. LACO by Lancher. Sorry, I didn't clean the crystal before the picture is taken.
  2. Sweet! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to order the gen dial now...
  3. It looks amazing! Wow! When you have the gen dial installed, do you remember if the watchmaker have to modify the dial feet?
  4. Does the hands of your modded UPO lume the same way as the gen dial? Mine hands has finger prints on it, so I have to replace them even if they lume same as the dial. Very frustrating.
  5. I hope your case back fits. Please keep me posted on this.
  6. Just bought a UPO for $300+, and I am not very impressed with the quality, so please be aware. Breitling SOSF and Noobmariner on the other hand seems to be pretty good.
  7. Anyone knows what is the best way to sand down the sharp edges of the case? Does gen hands need to modified to fit on the rep Swiss ETA movement (even if it's a ETA clone)? Thanks!
  8. Does the UPO accept the whole gen bezel assembly?
  9. I agree with you. With all parts put together is really not worth it (money wise). I am thinking about putting as minimal as possible to make mine at least acceptable in my standard. Right now the biggest disappointment is the dial. I know if I change out the dial, I may as well change the hands since they will lume differently. Then it's the bezel pearl. I always thought the UPO's pearl is pretty close to gen... from all the praises I read on RWG. I really like the UPO 007. It's just that my budget is running a little low after puchasing a gen RXW MM20 and a DSN 44mm. Thanks for your input!
  10. Thanks for the tip! Who would you recommend to have the watch modded in US?
  11. I received my UPO with Swiss ETA movt. from Trusty several days, and I've already been thinking about modding it. The dial was no good. This is my shopping list so far (I know where to get them), please let me know what else I need and where to get it (if you know of course). Thanks! ************************** 1. Gen Dial (must) 2. Gen Hands (must) 3. Gen Crown (optional) 4. Gen Bezel (optional) ************************** Where can I find gen bezel insert only? Do I need any date disc or mask for the gen dial? Where can I get them at? I am not planning on getting double AR yet, even though it would make the watch sing. Especially Chief is having trouble coating them right now. Thanks for your input!

  12. Just got the UPO I ordered. Now I know where the "AAA" come from. Mine got some serious problems. The dial text is not printed right (not just the logo). It seems like the text is more bulkier at the beginning of the word then ones at the end of the word. It's like this: PROFESSIONAL CO-AXIAL CHRONOMETER 600m/2000ft The pearl does seem to look like everybody else's neither. Any thoughts on these? Is mine a flawed one in the batch? Thanks! CougarEE
  13. Bought this one ebay, can't wait to install taller canon pinions. I hope this watch's crystal does not explode.
  14. There seems to be more than one version of Fiddy case, with slightly different size crystals. How does DSN know which one is correct fit?
  15. Hard to get the Noobmariner (ETA) off my wrist.
  16. Received my RXW MM20 today! What a Valentine's day present to myself... I got my wife something else, so she is happy. Here are some snapshots I just took today. I didn't even dare to use the fancy straps that comes with the watch (too nice for me to use them as beaters), so I put the watch on my spare straps for now. I think I am in love...
  17. Love my blue too. I really love the built and finish. If anything I would like to prove on this watch, it would be the pearl and bezel (the text font is a little bit small compare to gen).
  18. SOSF in the morning Noobmariner in the afternoon... and night. Bought a RXW MM20 earlier this week, it will be my watch of choice for whole next week! :)
  19. I was told that JOA makes very nice ones. You can find him on watchuseek.com by searching "best pam homage"
  20. Can anybody tell me where I can find a replacement sapphire crystal for this watch? I don't mind if it's domed or not. The scratched crystal is measured to be approximately 40mm in diameter. Thanks! Cougaree
  21. Still this one. Two days in the row now...
