I have 2 Omegas (PO 42mm and a Seamaster GMT 41mm) with Asian 21J Movement. Im just wondering if a high beat DG4813 will fit in here? Thanks

More than likely, no. You have some hand size and stem location issues to contend with. On the PO, the gen is 25,500 BPH so IMO who needs the higher beat. :)

Oh... so I guess the asian 21J is ok then? I'm planning to replace the hands. Both watches have the hands shorter than the gens. Will the Omega hands from Ofrei fit perfectly on both watch? thanks.

ETA hand sizes are 90/115/25. The DG2813 is 100/150/17 I am unsure of what you have currently. 21j is very generic term. :)

I don't know this as fact but there is a highbeat and low beat 2813 and 4813. Otto Frei sells the low beats and the hands are the same.
 

Q5?

I have not read of anyone upgrading a 21j to an ETA.
If you go forward with this, can you please update it here?
Thanks and good luck. :q5:
