Any Modding-services in UK ???

[Digger1969]

Well as the title says I'm looking for a fellow member in the Uk who's familiar and experienced with modding reps; as I recently purchased a omega PO 42, from WBK and for the price $110 it really is very good, ie. the case, bracelet ,AR crystal and the general feel and weight are all very nice,and it keeps perfect time,Would highly recommend but I would like the dial and hands changed to gen.
Having read a number of threads I believe this is a straight-forward swap,
if you know what your doing that is, so if anyone can offer this service please let me know, send PM and or post on here,as it may well benefit other members....

They dont have the dial you want listed but will give you an idea of what you can expect to pay. If you email them, they should be able to get them. Or look out on ebay.

It will really be a shame to put gen hands and dial on a $100 rep. The dial and hands should be the least of your concern with a rep like that. I don't even think the hands will fit anything else than an ETA movement, let alone a 21J.

To answer Johnny: Good luck finding a whole bezel assembly for the big PO. Even if you do, it won't fit. The only Omega known to take gen bezel assembly is the 4th gen one and it is a 42mm

QQ is right ETA hands and 21J hands are not interchangeable.

Neither do ETAs and 21js.

QQ is right eat and 21J do NOT fit,

It's fun to be a Mod sometimes.

Thank-you for the constructive info; ETA hands and 21j not changeable...

QQ, can I get a bezel insert with a better pearl for the 45.5?

You have a few options:

Attempt to order a UPO insert with your next purchase
Pick up a used SMP insert on eBay. And swap that pearl onto your current one.
