jadematic Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi All, Ok I have made my choice of dealer and will be using Silix as they email me back. However I now have a problem I thought I wanted the 45 but am starting to sway to a 42. I wanted to ask the opinion of people on the forum what they feel is a better watch and closer to the Gen between the 45 and 42 is it possible to fit Gen parts to both these watch that Silix has obviously I know the omega has happy feet and the text is out on the dates I also think on the 45 the date is a little too far to the left. Views and very welcome and also experience of buying the same watch from Silix and a view on the watch received would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianbf Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I don't think there is a 42mm UPO, so probably the 45mm one (if it is an UPO) will be more closer to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yeah, the current 42mm model (4th generation) is a great base for mods, but certainly far from ultimate out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they(Omega) do make a 42mm. If mods are something that you are planing to do the 42mm would my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 maxman - he was correcting the OP ... there is no 42mm UPO. UPO refers only to the 45mm version. Yes you can buy a 42mm Planet Ocean but it's not a UPO. Those only come in 45mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
