need your opinion about franken upo

[Glock17]

Hi is it worth buying the He valve for 69 usd? im looking at ofrei and its kind of pricey but the crown+tube is "cheap" 44usd for both

is it worth buying if im still gona epoxy it? can i see anny difference on the rep vs gen?

gona build a franken but i will wait with the dial and get most importent things first like new ar and gen rubber whats next step?

Well HE valve is a nice mod. If you have to choose one though, go with the crown and tube.

AR and rubber most important than the dial??? I dont think so...

I suggest reading this thread

i found rubber on ebay for okey price but its removed

why i wanna wait with dial is becuse i dont want to give 300usd with shipping for it

i have already paid for the crystal and its on its way to me

maybe i just stay to crown and he valve untill i got more cash

I've often thought of doing the he valve just to ad one more gen part. I can see the difference since I went and held the gen po at my local dealer.

okey

i think im gona get this now

crown+tube

complete he valve

Sunnydale colourless ar crystal (on its way)

rep 22mm upo rubber from ebay 40 usd with shipping (is this same quality as rep for
68usd?)

also gona get myself a cheap mesh (already paid and its on its way)

does the aftermarket bezel on ebay have same lume as gen?

maybe gen hands but idk yet

so dial maybe next month or after christmas

something mroe i need you think?

edit:

btw the watch is the upo with swiss movement so do gen hands fit?

 

[spdu4ia]

If you aren't going with a gen dial a nice relume will be nice. They can then lume your bezel insert to match.

 

[Q5?]

Are you doing the work yourself?

 

[Glock17]

Im gona get gen dial but i must look on how much i can spend first .

Gona make it myself i think yes my watchsmith in town will always help me if i ask him and its almost for free

 

[Q5?]

If that's the case, do it how ever you want. If you were paying to have someone do it, I would suggest a cost saving strategy.
