this box wasnt suppsoed to be filled this fast. it was supposed to be one watch every few months, instead it turned into a few watches every month =(

Well I have a DG4813 on its way to me...... BUT I also ordered a UPO Swiss version from a dealer on Repgeek.... So I'll prob end up selling the upo lite. lol

^ Lonnie - at least they would ship to you. Some sellers on ebay think Hawaii is on another planet... bastards.

Hey Sucre, can u answer that for me?

i wonder if the rep will end up on ebay... OJ's WATCH FOR SALE!

^ *DING* exactly....if the hole in the case is small enough, you can drill and tap.

LOL guess he doesnt really care.

i wanna make the same order...but im wondering when he will start questioning it lol.

thanks for everyones input on this..... i appreciate it. z3k0 - when u swapped out the movement, did the same crown stem fit?

dvn yep, i found it too...thanks!

The Zigmeister, the watch keeps stopping at 1145 (right before the date change) so i thought i might be able to be replace the movement, and just swap all the parts over. are you saying the DG8413 is a non existant movement? or just replacements arent to be found. you lost me there.... would the Miyota 8215 have the same date font that would be accurate for the planet ocean? and would the hands, dial date etc fit it? *EDIT* could it be the DG4813 and not 8413? http://www.ofrei.com/page1119.html i see it listed in Ofrei's site..

I was searching and it seems to be DG8413 movement?? can anyone help me? does anyone know if this movement can be bought in the US? I tried searching for it on ofrei's site but im having issues. anyone got pointers? *on another note, if i install a ETA 2846, what kind of date wheel will i need to get so the font matches. (black date wheel i know, but is it just a standard ETA 2846 datewheel?) and yes i know ill need new gen hands

damm the link isnt working now randy..... what kind of movement is it? DG8413?

Hmmm now my 2nd question will be....is there a US based site with the same movement?

FXrandy - is that the correct movement for the lite? will the correct date wheel fit along with the hands?

@ Mr. Radioactive, lol no offense taken.... I want to do the same mods ;-) my stupid mbw sub, is in almost 1k range =( and the modded UPO, I'm sure is more accurate.

Hey guys....hes talking about when he pulls out the crown to set the time.... THEN its loose? what happens when he screws it down? is it ok then? if it is, sounds like its normal, because when u pull out the crown to set the time, its only held there by the thin eta stem. which flexes slightly..... no? correct me if im wrong.

@TTK - LOL, crazy how you coined a term thats turned SO popular, that everyone uses it to describe their sub (thats not a mbw) its kinda like Kleenex, or hell I work for a Large ISP, which provides Cable Internet, we get people bitching about their DSL all the time, and we tell them you called the wrong place. lol

damm thats ugly lol. i think the SS/R YM is sexy, but not that one hehe

marty - thanks, but its not that. its almost like when it gets to midnight the watch runs out of power to flip the date...but thats really the case because its wound more then enough...(it runs FINE for all of the other 23 hours, just that 30mins or so before the date change...) *shrug*

1st my daytona I got used from someone, "runs perfect" but it stops all the time for me....cant even get it to run consistant for a few hours =( now my new "used" upo lite..... it stops at around midnight....any ideas why? it runs fine all thru the day, but when it gets near 1130 PM ish it will stop.... must be something to do with the date change? if The Zigmeister reads this, can this movement be serviced? i'm so over buying "used, perfectly running!" watches from the for sale sections.

dude u live in Canada, the land of the The Zigmeistermaster.....he can do anything lol

Im sorry to hear you are having a bad day.... =( you can prob pull the hands and reset them. should be a easy fix like ken says. =(

@ daytona4me where did u get the bezel? Mine has a few small scuff marks, it would be cool to be able to swap between black and orange.....

my new upo
