sub1 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Has anyone seen the "new" Planet Ocean's on Ruby's site. Just wondering if these are UPO's, they look pretty good. I am more interested in the 42.5 mm but wondering if anyone has any experience with these. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed11 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I checked with Ruby and she replied that it is the UPO as sold by other dealers (AR coating, ETA movement etc.) dlanzer, is the threading on the tube ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 dlanzer, is the threading on the tube ok? The threading is a known problem with the uPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlanzer Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 AR is lite . I have not opened the case but it should be an ETA. Crown tube has not been a problem. I always turn it backwards to make sure it will not bind up, befroe I screw it down. My fear is over for now. (untill it happens to me) I thought the problem was asians PO's.

ed11 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 yeah heard that the thread problem is across all upo (lites and norm)... heard that it is also hard to repair / replace and the gen parts (e.g. from Ofrei) wun fit?

dlanzer Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I hope I am not the only one without any problems. I got it in July and could it be possible that the factory fixed the problem. Does anyonelse have one without a problem? Or am I going to have a problem one day. To those that did have a problem how hard did you have to turn the crown (to strip the threads) or was it like that when you received it. Thanks.............. I'm just getting a bit worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub1 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I have had a 45mm UPO from Josh for about a month and dont have the problem yet, but now I am more interested in a 42.5 mm and like the one I saw on Ruby's site. This is why I originally started this post, to see if anyone has had experience with her Planet Ocean's. Does anyone know if the 42.5mm's have the same issues of the crown stripping. Thanks.

If i am not wrong, UPOs only refer to the 45.5 mm. I from reading ard that they do not have the crown stripping syndrome but its best to wait for an expert to validate.

ed11 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks! hey guys, does your crown of the upo sit firmly / flushed with the watch? mine seems to have a gap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub1 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Mine sits flush and seems firm. It does'nt feel like there is a rubber gasket around the screw though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
