Just wondering if this lite version from PT is the same case as the UPO?
http://puretime.co/product/planet-ocean-45mm-lite/

I recall there were some dodgy ones with wrong bracelet/lug width.

I only want this thing for its case, so wanted to see if anyone might know.

Yes, I can email PT but I don't have my one with me and can't recall its dimensions! :wyliehelp:

This has an 21j installed, so most likely wont be the same as UPO.

Hi Pap, figured it did. Do you think the case is different, or the movt holder??

The movement holder most likely will be a piece of plastic.

Although the case its self may be different.

What are you up to? A franken? Cause if you are i would suggest an UPO case with a clone movement as to save yourself from possible troubles...

I have a UPO but I had the case drilled to accept a metal dowel that would be drilled and tapped to take gen thread for a gen CT.

But I can not find out the thread size from anywhere. So my case has a very big hole in it.... And I have an SS dowel with no thread......

Buy the gen tube and get a thread pitch gauge and a caliper. You'll get it right, don't give up. ;)

Thanks R2. I do have the gen everything except for the movement, bracelet and the mid case.
Don't worry, not giving up on the damn thing, determined to stick the best of Cousins and OFrei into something.....

But the thread is so fine, even my watchmaker couldn't measure the damned thing.

Send me the OD. I'll help.

Measurement of the thread OD is 2.45mm. Random.... Will try a fine thread 2.5 and see how we end up.
