Snygg watch mate! I have the same Ocean Racer with my Seawolf Banana, it sure is nice.

Hi mate, this has a gen dial from Ebay and relumed hands by Domi. Crystal has been double side AR coated by Uwe.

My just finished UPO with double AR coated crystal! Took 2 hour to get Swiss ETA inside and to rebuild it...

I still think this watch is a gen It is so well made, the crystal looks clear and the pearl is so damn good! I just got my Franken UPO yesterday and I am trying to convince myself that it was worth it. When I see those pictures, it is not so clear Here's mine

I asked Uwe/Fine dd if I need a gen crystal gasket when I was collecting parts for my Franken UPO and he said it won't fit. So you need a rep crystal gasket. Go for the gen crystal, it is definitely worth it! Here's mine

Just got my Franken UPO back from Fine dd

Nice SOH mate! Welcome to the club!

Banana

Banana Monday

Congrats mate, I think it is a great combo, makes the Banana look totally different than with SS!

Banana with new OR:

Just got this back from Fine dd.

Best rep bezel I have seen! Check again, if it's gen PO you have

Great job! You have the skills!

Thanks! I just love the look of this watch...

Starting the week with Banana in the jungle.

Here are some pics of my SOH that came today from Finedd. Hopefully it is ok to use this thread. Here it is! With Hublot on its side: Lume is really good and the hands have the same color as the dial: Alone: What was done: gen dial from Ebay, installed by Domi who also relumed the hands. Finedd did the AR work after Domi. They both did superb job! AR coating really makes the difference! If I need to say something about the tone of it, it is slightly yellowish at certain lighting. It makes the dial to pop out beautifully. The whole process took about 2.5 months. And about 550 euros. Gets a lot of wristtime from now on!

Looks Great! As krpster said, gen dial is not so necessary to V2. I have V1 so gen dial is a must. I did not bother to change the datewheel but might be nice. Domi relumed the hands for me and did a great job! For me the lack of good AR was one thing to be redone. I will post pics of mine today or tomorrow to another thread here as I get it from the post office.

My finalized SOH is coming back from Finedd! Tracking says its in the country so takes about 1 day to arrive! It's like christmas to me Will post pics after it arrives.

It seems that you really have to be a maniac and use all your time hanging in the forum to be the first one to spot the used ones that come for sale I need one too but really don't have that time...thought I am the maniac here but noou...

Yes I bought it as a some kind of hybrid from a fellow member at RWI. I am happy because the V2 bezel is better than V1

Yes it is V1 but the bezel does not seem to be V1 what I have compared. Maybe it is but I thought it was not

Got my SOH from Domi today! The gen dial is in and the hands are relumed. Domi did a great job! Unfortunately he could not do the AR this time so the watch is going next to Finedd. And nothing really happened without a picture:

Thanks for the informative answer, krpster! It is a relief to know that the both versions are genuine. I will post pictures of my watch after it arrives back from dial swap and AR coating. Might take some time...

Actually mine that was from Ebay had not the Swiss Made text on it. It is currently at Domi
