movement transplant 42mm King PO to 45mm UPO (lite)

Some of you may have seen the drama unfold around my attempted sale of my 42mm swiss ETA PO from King, in the trade thread at repgeek. In short I mistaken bought 42mm rather than 45 and when I tried to sell it, various issues with the quality of the rep (ie re pearl, bracelet - that it is not 4th generation etc - I've learnt a lot in the process!) were raised. Anyway, the long and short of it is that I'm not going to get anything like the $300 I paid for it in March.

Anyway, my question is whether the following is feasible:

1) buy a UPO 45mm lite, with the asian movement from a trusted dealer;

2) remove the ETA movement from my King PO and transplant it into the UPO lite.

Can 1 (or more) of you Omega gurus advise whether you think this is feasible/reasonable. If it is, I will end up with the watch I wanted (assuming the UPO lite has the right case/dial/bracelet etc) and not be too much more out of pocket, with a spare King case and asian movement.

If this is reasonable, the real noob question. Who would you recommend I pick up the UPO lite from!

Any help much appreciated.
