ubiquitous Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Now I'm curious to see what mine looks like behind the spacer ring. Very interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share 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.

ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Nice! Pricing looks to be inline with Frei as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
