S3g0y Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) It's my whish. Ultimate PO 45,5 mm with an updated dial (no happy feet) and the cheap DG4813? Anybody knows why there are only Asian or Swiss ETA versions of this watch? Is 4813 not suitable for the bigger size?

maxman Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This rep comes with the choice of two movements,Swiss eta 2824 or the Asian 2824. I have know knowledge of the DG4813 as far as this rep Is concerned. Just remember to stick with the trusted dealers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapman57 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This watch did actually come with aDG4813 - had one myself and sold it recently over on RG.....from what I undersand some of the so called Asian Clone versions were in fact high beat DG4813;s .....thats what happened to me. Either way it was / is a great watch, these pics do not do it justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The previous UPO was not available with 21j movement either. Not sure exactly why that is. In any case, I think the Asian ETA or Swiss ETA are more worth your while, if you're interested in buying one Good luck! and Take maxman's advice! stick with trusted dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch Wife Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 In order to get the 4813 into a UPO you will need the version of this movement that has a high cannon pin. It is/was very hard to come by, with the only generally known sources being a member over on one of the other rep forums (who doesn't have any more stock), or Eurotimez, which is now defunct. I would also love to replace all my 2813's with the higher beat 4813, but keep in mind that the gen PO uses an in house co-axial movement that runs at 25200 bph, so neither the 2813 (21600 bph) or the 4813 (28800 bph) would be correct.

andreww Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 About 3 or four years back, when the UPO was still fairly new to the market, Josh and Andrew did a limited run of UPOs with DG 4813s. Exact same watch inside and out, just different movements. Price was outstanding at under $120 as I recall. I've got two of them and still wear them quite regularly.

YEs you're referring to the oh so famous UPO lite. Were only produced on a very limited run. I thought the movement was a 2813..not that it matters anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still available here: http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/planet-ocean-45mm-lite/ It also have mineral glass instead of saphire crystal. Very temptating proposition but these happy feets suck....

Very temptating proposition but these happy feets suck.... Incorrect... What you posted is NOT a UPO lite.. This is a PO lite.. Notice the incorrect HE valve placement and short hands. The ULITIMATE PLANET OCEAN (UPO) Lite, has been out of production for 3 years or more now. It was quite popular as it had the same case structure and AR as the UPO.. but with an Asian 21j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
