So anyone knows if it can be changed to an ETA one? I love my UPO Lite but the date font is wrong, too squared. Thanks in advanced!

Can the Date wheel on the UPO Lite be changed?

It depends on which movement on your UPO lite. There is a certain batch with ETA2836 clone movement. On this one, you can get ETA datewheel and put it in. However, if you got DG movement, I am sure that ETA datewheel doesn't fit directly.

Thanks tak! Just one thing, how do I know which one's which?
Also, where could I buy a date-wheel with the correct font (If there is any)?
Sorry for all these questions, I'm really into modifying my UPO right now.
You can get a set of datewheel for ETA2836-2 movement with white text and black background. Jules Borel/Ofrei has it.
You can see the movement, if it looks like ETA2836 without eta stamp, it's the asian clone. Otherwise you have the DG movement.

You can get them here. http://www.jewelerssupplies.com/mechani ... ments.html I saw Klink had a direct link to the factory, I will see if I can dig it up.
