Sorry for the delay. The part number with "S"= Sapphire and "B" Coating Both sides.

Others have ordered it without issue. Hope that helps.

What about the dial with orange numerals? Or the orange bezel? Not available?

Edit: I mean those for CousinsUK
Edit2: Orange bezel is the same as Ofrei, 082SU1772, but I cannot find the dial

Thanks paparas! I have not seen frankens with orange bezel so maybe that one...:) Start collecting money.


I'm building an orange bezel franken!

Currently having an issue with the gen crystal and gen crystal gasket.

For anyone building a franken UPO (45.5mm only) it's worth noting that the gen gasket is effectively too fat, so either needs 'thinning out' (very tricky!) or reuse the rep gasket.

I managed to damage the rep gasket so I'm looking to find a replacement. Will post any info I find....

Mee too! Already have all the parts including gen bezel that I bought from a fellow member at RWG. Gen dial, hands, crown, tube, he valve, crystal, bezel, date wheel (most are already installed as I bought modded UPO). I am sending all to Uwe when he finalizes my Banana. Can't wait!!

BTW, I asked if I need a gen gasket and he said no.

Yes, the gen gasket is too thick, it will work fine with the rep gasket though!

I just ordered all the parts to mod my Omega PO 45. However the dial Serial Number provided does't show the SeaMaster letters in orange as my current watch. As a result I didn't order it.

Is this the correct date wheel for a 2500 PO with orange numbers? I thought the gen 2500 PO had silver numbers. Will this fit a 2824 movement? I need to know, so help will be appreciated. Thanks :cheers:

Ok, I have found out a little something about the difference in the date wheels. The date wheel that is pictured is from the newest 2500 (I think that it is the D variation). You can tell this from the number 9 (and the bold 1-9 evidently) has no tail no it. It comes down straight to a point. The older models with the C 2500 had the older style date font (no bold 1-9) and the number 9 had a tail on it.

Well that is what I have gathered from doing a little research on the forums. Please let me know if this is correct. I think that I like the looks of the 2500C date wheel with the curved 9's better than the new ones.

Now the real question will this fit a 2824-2 ETA movement?

Thought I would share the info with you guys. Hope that the information is somewhat correct.
