ubiquitous Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Have to agree- Once going with Chief's AR, nothing else compares. Not even gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Agree. I have a UPO with Chief AR and a 4th Gen with a Gen crystal and the Chief AR wins hands down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmo Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just dont know if i could handle 4 - 6 months without my UPO to get it "chiefed" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just dont know if i could handle 4 - 6 months without my UPO to get it "chiefed" haha the turn around is not that long.. it's just Christmas had everyone rather busy.. I feel.. we were lucky that chief took in any crystals during this time of year.. but to point.. I have a spare rep crystal.. and if anyone else does that bought a genuine xtal.. we could start a rotation of spare crystals so members don't have to have their UPO's down at all.. I'm holding mine for a member.. if he decides to wait it will be available for to start rotating.. I will send it to chief.. the member will pay chief.. he sends it back to the member the member mails me the xtal that he removes from the rep to swap with the chiefs AR'd xtal.

max33 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Great pictures, Lani. Do you know if Gen crystal is easily scratched as Chief's? I wonder if my 42mm version is interchangeable with gen parts as well?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Only the 4th generation PO will accept the genuine parts ..fyi dunno about the genuine vs. chiefs for scratch resiliency .. with enough force I would guess both would scratch just as easily..but chiefs will no doubt bring out the dial 100..

lanikai Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Lani is this a 45mm UPO and is the strap Gen? thanks sorry for the late reply,. the strap is a 2nd generation .. the first had too much of a gap from the case.. this is made properly..

RWGFan Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Please help out a complete newbie.... 1. Where can I buy a UPO? 2. How do I contact Chief or any other service provider who does Mods? Thanks, -RWS Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Welcome Fan you can find a full range of PO's >Here I would suggest getting the eta movement.. it will be worth it.. for Chief ..he has a section .. and you need to wait until his next run .. for Modders.. Ziggy and Vac are RWG's 2 in house watch smiths.. initial contact is by PM .. they are the best and may I suggest to stick with the trusted dealers here.. you will not be scammed.. others may claim to be able to mod your watch .. but to do so would put your rep and money at risk.. give a holla if you need an assist with anything.. you may want to go to the intro section and let the community welcome you into the community AC/Lani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deniz21 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 brah do you know how much a gen crystal is? and is it easy to buy that too? like the dial and stuff, and bro how long takes the turn from The chief? denz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 You mean chief not Ziggy.. I have a rep UPO crystal that I can send in for you to chief.. the cost for the AR is 50 usd.. I'll take off the AR on the rep .. the genuine is a little over 200 usd.. and chiefs is definitely a better coating.. it will take a couple of months to get it back to you.. and after you exchange crystals .. mail me the rep crystal you have in the UPO now.. so I can have a spare to send into Chief for the next member..

lanikai Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have a rep crystal that will be sent to chief to start a rotation hopefully we can get 2 going.. the first one is spoken for and the member will send me his rep xtal after he swaps it out with Domi... member is located in Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lani, does this mean Domi or someone has a Chief AR'd crystal that I could use? If so, Domi could fit and I would send my crystal to Chief or whoever? Still trying to get my head around the rotation idea! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey2008 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Lani, thanks for the parts list. I had to order a glass gasket from cousinsuk, so here's some of their part numbers for the UPO: (42184ST) Omega Crown 9 x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 anybody got some leads on where to get a "flat-foot" logo? Any rep dials currently available with that logo?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 There used to be a dial that silix sold, it had the correct logo, but the dial itself was wrong, but it's possible to swap the logo's, so you'd get a correct logo on the UPO dial with incorrect logo! Where can we buy crystals for the UPO? The gen is somewhat overpriced I think, especially when considering the AR that our board mods offer, superb AR for a nice price! If someone knows where to get a crystal for the UPO, let me know! I don't want to wait that long to wear my UPO again, it's my daily beater!

I still need to swap the Gen crystal for old one.. but once the old one is removed you're welcome to buy mine. I won't be able to get it to you for a month or so til i pop it out...
