Planet ocean semi-franken modded by finedd!

[TheCold]

Hi guys! I had an UPO which I bought from Ruby in about 2 years ago, it had all the common flaws such as bad dial, happy feet etc. After trying to bend the second hand straight (it was bent when I got it) It broke into two piece, along that the crown threads were all worn out so now screwing it back into the case, I decided to buy a the set of gen hands, gen crown and gen tube, along with a new updated dial from PT. I sent everything to fine dd which he installed, along with a double sided AR done and waterproofing the watch.

I haven't received the watch yet but fine dd gave me some awesome pictures of his work! Let me known what you think!

Hopefully the watch will look even better IRL

Now when I received the watch I took some pics of it (not too good at taking nice pictures)!

The best fixes on this model IMO when on a budget. Great watch

The aftermarket bezel insert was bought from the WHOLESALEOUTLET guy on ebay. Its a bit tall but its centered at least

Very nice, amazing what a few small changes can do!

I have the same. Definitely better than the original rep insert.

Fine DDs AR is almost tintless, but when you get glare you get a golden tint. I don't mind hence the double sided AR is superb. Im not too picky about such a irrelevant thing such as the color of the tint, the AR is there the tint is not smoke but rather golden, but than we have the question, who cares I certainly do not

Uploaded some more pics as I have received the watch

BEAUTIFUL piece! New here and do not know who DD is. I am buying a UPO in a few days and would like to have the AR and waterproofing done.

For all these mods including the UPO I paid about 500$
