]Hey guys, i have an omega po 45.5 incoming with the happy feet. Now it said upo when i bought it but from my understanding its only ultimate if it doesnt have the happy feet. I bought it with a plan to put genuine dial and hands along with sunnys crystal and it came with the gen crown and tube. So my question is can i still do all the frankening that i want to do or will the gen dial and hands not fit???

UPO tecnically does stand for Ultimate Planet Ocean, but that is where it stops. UPO only refers to the 45.5 mm version, no matter whether or not it is a beginner Reg version or an V5 version.

Only the V5 version iirc has the non-happy feet. Sunnydale is currently making crystals for the 42mm version, known simply as the PO, or Planet Ocean. The latest version is the V5 with the non-happy feet. All previous versions of both the PO and the UPO have happy feet.

I have a UPO sunnydale crystal and a version 4 PO 45.5. That crystal will not fit. My PO came with a Swiss 2834 movement, so I think the gen hands would fit, but probably not the tube. But I haven't tried it.
