pnc Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 i have franken 42mm 4th gen with gen bezel, hands and dial. new UVPO use same ETA movement as 4th gen so gen dial and hands will fit to UVPO without any problem. but how is the bezel?? Is there any one who tried to put the gen bezel in UVPO?? does it work?? sorry for my poor english ^^;;
cougaree Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 According Joshua, the answer is yes.
starman351 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 It does indeed. Just installed one on mine last night (along with a gen dial and hands). Be sure to use the springs from the rep when fitting it.
cougaree Posted December 29, 2010 Report Posted December 29, 2010 Once the gen bezel is installed, is it tight or loose when rotating it? Does it stay close to the case? How did you remove the rep bezel? Thanks?

How did you remove the rep bezel? Thanks? Mine rotates nice and smooth just like the gen. I did grease the clickspring to make certain it would. It fits nice and tight. Just like the gen. I use a swiss army knife to remove the bezel from the PO. Start prying with the small blade, once you have a decent gap switch to the big blade. The rep bezel removes easily. The gen will not. Be sure you have it just like you want it before the final install. Test fit it without the lockspring in place.

jchurch Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Can we see pics of this newly modded beauty? I second this... Anny photographs of this, sounds like a great looking watch.
