And so it begins... My first franken

[movadont]

I got my first rep, a UPO about 9 months ago. I love it, but the date doesn't set and the lume is just sad.

The watch is at CLS getting:
Gen Dial
Gen Hands
Gen Bezel
Gen Crystal
Gen Crown/Tube

It will probably be a month before I get it back and I know from experience that patience is the name of this game, but shit...

WOOOO!!! I can't wait!

Pics to follow (in like a month)icard:
:cheers:

Great!

Might as well add a Gen date wheel too.

 

[movadont]

I knew I forgot something...
Gen Datewheel!

You'll be blown away when you get it back man I know I was when I finished mine! Omeeeega!

Where are you having it modded? And are they supplying the gen parts or are you?

 

[glippy01]

I did the mods myself and all the parts came from Ofrei.

 

[nixmazda]

Thanks! How about you movadont?

Hi guys,

Can you replace the crown and tube on a V5 42 PO with a gen without much problems?
