First modded Cr PO 45.5 mm?

[DMS]

Nice job there!It makes the watch complete now.

I've got a question for you; how exactly did you take the bezel insert out? Just put a knife between the inner or outer ring of the bezel?

I am thinking of doing a matte clear coat finish on my pumpkin bezel to make it gen like. The colour is quite right, just too much shine instead of the gen like matte finish.

Take the crystal out, otherwise it will be hard to take the insert off. When you have taken the crystal off, you can see that there is a good space between the insert and the bezel in the inner side of them (where the crystal is attached).

Do not go to outer side, you will ruin the insert. I don't know if you can take the complete bezel off without then having to remove the crystal, but might be tricky.

Great results, looks 10x better.

@sunnydale I see you are also in Finland like myself, Im in Kuopio.

I plan on getting the 45 CrPO in blue in the near future. Would you be able to help me with regards AR for it? Or source a new crystal for me?

Atm I don't have any 45.5 mm crystals. I will think about it.

Try it, parts were so high quality it was easy to do.

Thanks, no rush my friend, won't be for another month or so before I get my 45mm crPO anyways.

Thanks all!

Yes all crystals are gone. This is not one of the UPO crystals I sold, this is from one AR round with my local lab (just this one coated to see the results). Transparency is superb but the remaining reflection is greenish when you see it.

Please take the time and read before asking/posting if SunnyDale has any more crystals.

Sunnydale, do you have any more crystals for the 45.5? No I do not. Will there be another run? Not in the near future.

Until then, lobby your dealer for a V2.

That is all, thanks for reading this.

Thanks friend! Indeed, V2 is the way to go now.

Took some more pics, I am really impressed by the quality of this watch. Side to side with my Franken UPO with a genuine Omega bracelet and all, this feels 100 % as genuine. Weight, finish, all. And, IMHO this is a better looker than old PO.

Anything missing in this picture?

 

[dsmdave]

Really does look good man. I can see why you are so happy and want to make other 45mm owners jealous.

I am either going to have to buy a 42mm, wait for the V2 or buy a gen Omega crystal. Oh the options I am dealing with.

Me, I am not trying to make other jealous

First member to install a genuine crystal will make me jealous!

I just checked and it is around usd180-200 shipped. Check R2D4s thread of 45.5 mm UPO genuine part numbers. Until someone has tried one, you cannot be exactly 100 % sure it will fit but should because rep UPO crystal fits.

 

[SSTEEL]

Thanks for that update sunny.

 

[albiea]

[SSTEEL]

Just hope it fits albiea without any sanding down.
