I'll give it a try myself, this weekend I hope....

It doesn't seem that difficult ! The hardest point seems to be to remove the tube..

Where did you order the parts?

Bad new for me... The crown won't screw down anymore on the tube. I decided to order a gen tube and crown to see if I can do something with it.... I'll keep you informed (I saw many great tutorials here...My biggest worry is to remove the tube, I don't know if I necessarily need to remove the movement)

You definitely have to. I have the same problem with the crown/tube after setting my brand new UPO for the first time. Seems to be a general problem. I will order the gen tube an crown and let it fit by my watchmaker.

I have the same Problem with my last order. I chosen that the risk to send the watch back to china, was for me to dangerous and otherwise you need to know that this action will take some time.

It' s a long way from germany to china.

I send my watch for a complete revision and to fix a problem to domenico.

The revision service from domi is the first think that i make for all my watches. He opens the watch, clean and oil the movement this increases the lifetime of the watch.

Same problem with a Planet Ocean? Which movement? What about the costs for the reparation/revision you paid to Dominico and how long did it take?

Think I'll go the same way. Shipping back to china last too long and the risk ist too high.

But I'll contact my dealer once more and have a sitious conversation. I paid money and got a not working watch. That's not ok at all.

@Apahach

I'm also from Germany, Bayern.

You can contact domenico. Ask him for a complete revision and if it's possible to change the crown for your movement. Domenico does everything, what a great guy and the best he's from Germany. One of the best watchsmith for replicas.

You can contact him by email domi60@arcor.de

Hi and thanks for this information. I think I will contact Domenico. My seller wants me to send him the UPO back to china. Not with DHL, UPS and so on. He told me I shell send him via registered airmail or normal airway. But I think it's a box and so I only can send it with DHL and so on. Other ideas? He told me about problems at the chinese customs if I send it with the popular shipping companies.

Anybody an idea to send it from Germany to Chine in a safe way in case of the chinese customs?

Thanks a lot.

Where did you order your PO?

I bought it from Joshua.

Contact the dealer. More then likely, the dealer will probably ask for it back to fix or replace the watch. Or you could buy a gen crown and tube and do a swap. Its more then likely stripped, which is a problem with the PO's.

Of course I immediately wrote an Email to my dealer. Waiting for the answer. To send the UPO back is not so easy and will last a long time. My home ist germany, the home of my dealer is china.

Is the option to use a gen crown an tube possible with my asia movement 4813?

Hi,

after waiting about 30 days today my new PO 42mm arrived. Very nice! But now I have a big problem. After setting the watch for the first time I can‘t screw down the crown. The crown doesn’t grab on the thread. So I can’t close the watch!

Is there anybody who can help me?

PS: The watch is from one of the trusted dealers of this forum!
