Navik Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, I have a UPO 45.5mm and I am very pleased with it. However, what bugs me a bit is its very poor lume. What's the procedure if I would like a bright lume on it, do I have to buy gen dial/hands or is there someone anybody can recommend that can relume the hands and dials that already are on the watch? (EU preferred!) Do you maybe know also how much it would set me back? Thanks for your help! Edited August 14, 2011 by Kontic88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navik Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I just saw the Zigmeister apparently can fix this. I'll send him a PM. As far as I understand his work is of high quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Buy genuine hands for the UPO. It's a better solution in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've got a UPO with zig lumed dial hands and pearl. I also have the gen. Zig's lume is exactly spot on to the gen. Glows for as long (all night) glows the same colour and is the same colour in daylight/uncharged. You wont be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hey. PUG's back!!! For EU you can also try Hijack. He's in Spain, very good and well priced. Can do the pearl also. Gen dial and hands will set you back like $250 + all shipping and fitting. It IS the best route, but the rep set re-lume is good 'cheaper' option. You can find Hijack here (sometimes) or more often on RepGeek... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navik Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions guys However I spent my money on another rep, so I will wait a little while to improve the lume on my UPO. Still not decided whether to relume or buy gen dials & hands, leaning towards relume though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 isn't it odd......That my definitely NOT "U" Po from @ 5 years ago, for under $100., has some of the brightest long lasting lume of all my many reps..?? (Second only to my V 1.5 Ploprof) And now after literally DOZENS of version modifications, from all over the galaxy, the new ones come with wimpy lume!!...(But NO happy feet!!)I have been following, with great amusement, the "UPO Follies" for over 5 years now, watching folks spend up to 4 figures and sometimes even MORE, just to end up with a SLIGHTLY "better" fake watch than the next guy. To add even ANOTHER oddity to the mix, my "ECPO"(el cheapo planet ocean)STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL rep crown and tube, and it still screws down tightly!! WTF China!!...Can't you effin' guys even remember back when you could make them RIGHT...??? I'm beginning to suspect that Omega itself is behind this fiasco, secretly pushing out worser and worser Chinese versions, simply to sell thousands of their overpriced "original dials, hands, crystals, bracelets, clasps, and crowns and tubes to us "frankenfools"...!! I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they make more money selling parts to us than they do selling complete watches to the rest of the world!! :bangin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
