rytox Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey everyone! Today, PreciousTime is gonna send me some photos of my ordered UPO. I've read all the UPO-related posts on the forum and I'm still not exactly sure what parts I should pay extra attention to.. What would you check on the photos before giving PT your 'ok'? Thanks a lot! rytox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rytox Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Damnit, I thought they replaced the wrong dial on the orange number ones.. The pics on my dealers site showed the correct UPO dials.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 yes my german friend , its the same bad dial as mine .. BUT believe me the watch looks awsome, the building quality is so impressive and the overall look so good i love mine and i was exactly the same [censored] like you, but the first moment i had it on my wrist i loved it so much and as lani said to me, when you are sure and that you will love it that much, then there is no other then the franken way with a gen dial, of course with a other or zigmasters treated crystal. but dont get mad, i know that you will love it exactly like me, but if you want to upgrade your watch, here you can find always a helping hand i think you should be more afraid of resizing the brazelet, thats a bigger challenge denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytox Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 but dont get mad I won't But I'm still [censored], because one reason I ordered the orange numbered one was, that it should have an already fixed dial. The pictures on PTs website show the correct dial, I asked him etc. Anyways, I wrote PT an email yesterday asking if he has another (correct) dial for me. No answer yet, maybe everything will be ok by tomorrow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Its my understanding that all the blk/wht dials are bad until the factory unloads them all. Maybe they are finally done passing them off on people and have good ones again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sorry but I'm missing the point here... What exactly is wrong with the dial? I'm concerned because I just ordered the Orange bezel chrono from Josh. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy66 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Mastermind,i think they are on about the OMEGA logo with the happy feetand the text above the 6!!Ive got 3 and the clown feet dont bother me that much.I think if i had the skill to change the dial id probably give it a go though. @lani-Im sure youve got too many watches mate,so if any of your big [censored] Super Avengers are taking up too much room i could always take one off your hands mate......lol.

rytox Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah, it's the issue with the "text" above the 6. Distance too short, and the width of "600m/200ft" is also wrong.. I knew about the happy feet, they wouldn't have bothered me at all. I thought they already fixed that on the orange numbered dials.

mastrmindalliance Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Oh ok, I knew about the happy feet, just not the dial print. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy66 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 rytox-one thing i do know about PT is he does CQ the watches alot more(better) than some of our far east friends,if the factories have produced alot of these dials with the dodgy text,he may find it hard to get his hands on the correct ones. If you feel confident enough or you know someone who can do it,maybe it would be worth taking up lani's offer of the dial or even going the gen dial route?? Then again,if the watch on PTs site has the correct text and you thought you were ordering that one.Thats what you should be getting.

rytox Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Then again,if the watch on PTs site has the correct text and you thought you were ordering that one.Thats what you should be getting. That is exactly what I think about it. I even asked about the dial back then.. Anyways I'm chatting with him over email atm. so maybe we can figure something out. I already asked lani how much he wants for the dial, that surely would be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Oh ok, I knew about the happy feet, just not the dial print. Thanks! I just received my chrono from Tony @7750 and the only problems are the feet and the SDW. The pushers(mod 7750) are off a bit but know one will notice. With the correct sub dial spacing the watch looks really nice. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Lani that was a generous offer. But hold onto that dial for someone who needs it. Ry has been allowing you to think that this watch was shipped. It has not been So there is no issue that an email won't fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianagarrison Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have a dodgy dial UPO (black and white)- and the niggles are hardly noticable. You're right in one respect though; the dealers should really update their sites to reflect the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
