debbiesmith1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi all, I have an UPO watch and the pearl has fallen off. This watch has a long saga behind it. Its the second one I have. I sent the first one back and had to wait 6 months to get it back. But I didn't get back the one I sent but another one. On both the first and second watch the pearl at 12 O'Clock fell off. From the space thats left it almost look like its only a plastic sticker (it was luminous). Is there anywhere I can get some replacement pearls that I could superglue on? I will contact the vendor again and ask them for a pearl (or pearls). But if they say no I am wondering if there are other options. The watch doesn't look the same without the pearl.

DemonSlayer Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 You can purchase an aftermarket insert on the bay and remove the pearl to glue onto your insert. The downside to the UPO is that the pearl is glued onto the bezel and not the insert, so dealers might find it difficult to source pearls. Wouldn't hurt to ask though.

I don't fully understand. Whats an aftermarket insert as opposed to a pearl glued onto the bezel. Which dealers would sell a "pearl" for an UPO.

DemonSlayer Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The insert is the actual black ring with the numbers and markings on it, its glued onto the bezel. Aftermarket meaning that its not produced by the original manufacturer. UPO's have the pearl glued onto the actual bezel, and not onto the insert. So if you were to ask for extra inserts from your dealer, they wouldn't have any pearls attached onto them, just an empty hole where the pearl goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
