edgematic Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi all, I'd like to know if Silix increased his price of his UPO dial. (I'd like to swap his logo into the UPO from Precious Time) From what I read on the boards, I saw that he asked about $35 for his dial (incl. shipment) Now, I mailed him to aks a price, he said it would cost $51 incl. shipment... Anyone knows about this, and why? kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone knows about this, and why? kind regards If i sold dials with a good logo and read that post about the swap i would raise my price as well. We all got to eat mate. I would have no problem with a 51$ mod instead of a 220$ gen dial.. if i knew how to do that mod.. i really want a correct logo on the UPO as well. Buy the dial, change the logo and enjoy your timepiece even more then before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone knows about this, and why? kind regards It has been awhile, but I think I bought my dials from Jay for $35 each but paid $15 shipping. PM me, I may still have one around and if I do I can sell it to you for $35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's simply supply and demand. He can provide something no other dealer can. I'm amazed it took him this long to raise the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

801run Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm thinking of going for the Planet Ocean my self. But is there a reason to buy the UPO from e.g. Josh and then buy the dial from Silix for replacement. Why not buy the PO from Silix directly, isn't his version as good as the UPO apart from the dial? Because I guess his version is not the UPO, since it has the correct logo on the dial. So i guess my question is, to get the best PO, do I by the UPO and then replace the dial with the Silix one, or do I go for the Silix PO straight off?

LordRasta Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 It's the ultimate catch-22. The logo on the "Silix" dial is correct but the markers and such are off. On the dials we've seen from PT/Josh/Andrew, the markers are better but the logo is [censored]. So the cheaper way is to source one of their watches and a silix dial. The more expensive way is to get a gen dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody else still needs one I will give the same pricing, just let me know. First one to PM me gets it. I will let you know that I am selling these because I am just using the gen dial now. It was worth it after destroying the logo from another silix dial I had and realized that I would still have to pay to have my dial re-lumed to match my gen hands. good luck you franken project fiends!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all I have to do is wait for my UPO to get back from Ruby (in for repairs), and I'm in business. Thanks! Somebody should scoop up the other one quickly.
