patinga Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 email Vac @ vaclume@gmail.com He's in Florida. And buy the Gen crystal(0625B3063). HUGE difference. Oh and make sure you get Vac to relume the pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skittlz74 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 now for that crystal. is that 5 supposed to be an "s"? that is all i can see on their site. and what is the advantage of the gen crystal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 YES! My bad. That's what I get for trying to multi-task after work and having some drinks. Gen Crystal makes ALL the difference. The Omega Lume is amazing (that's why Vac has to do the pearl too), the clarity and crispness of the dial. It's thicker and sturdier. I know it's over $200. But if you are taking the leap to really Franken out the UPO, do it. I would do crystal before caseback because you look at the crystal every day. I wear my Franken UPO more than I wear my gen watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittlz74 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yeah I'm gonna do the crystal over the case back;) can always do the case back anytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Also for future reference; Chieftang has a service here where he provides a Double AR (Anti-Reflective) coating to the crystal. The guys AR is amazing and he is a good guy as well. So if you ever want to get a rep crystal looking like a Gen, he's the man.* *This member is not a paid spokesman for the Chieftang AR Company. Any references to their product is purely coincidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakortheblue Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Actually, Chief AR is better than gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
