ubiquitous Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 Now I'm curious to see what mine looks like behind the spacer ring. Very interesting...
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 Now the waiting game begins. Luckily, most everything I wanted was in stock. Just a matter of being patient until it all arrives...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 With mine, I'll be modding it slightly differently. I'll probably try for a gen dial/hands (for the lume) and crown/tube. I'll also go for AR, if it's not too costly, as my UPO has K2222 AR on it and it makes a huge difference if you compare it to Gen. I'm also going to fit a crown/tube to my UPO as it's completely threaded now. Does anyone in the US fancy picking me up a crown/tube combo for both a 42 and 45? Cousins don't seem to stock them.
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Please ignore my last post. I've found these on Cousins:
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 Nice! Pricing looks to be inline with Frei as well...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Nice! Pricing looks to be inline with Frei as well... I'll be honest though, the crown and tube are going to repair my UPO, and the hands may well go there too.
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 Be sure to get the right hands for the 45mm in that case; there is a difference: 42mm- Minute: 13.60mm 45mm- Minute: 14.85mm 42mm- Seconds: 13.85mm 45mm- Seconds: 15.00mm

ubiquitous Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Posted July 20, 2009 More parts arrived today... Update to follow soon...
Pugwash Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 What's the case number for the 42? The 45 is 168.1650 and that's the number I put in http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/166/450.aspx to find the UPO parts.
Pugwash Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks to R2D4 on RG for this... Thanks, mate. Ideal.

ubiquitous Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 I think the case numbers for the 42mm are: 168.1651 168.1653 Hope this helps
