which UPO did i buy????

[panac]

I purchased this omega po last week but the seller didnt know which version it is. It has the asian movement inside ticking @28000 beats and also has the happy feet on the dial but thats all i know. Could it possibly be the v4? Any help is appriciated. Thanks

Any omega guru that can chime in

If it has happy feet then it probably is not a real UPO. I have a V4 and the markers are kind of dull. That is why I'm looking for a UPO rep dial.

Gen counterparts should fit in here though right?

This is the UPO:

The only difference is the happy feet.

 

[drabbits]

happy feet ? UPO
happy feet = varied measurements and no guarantee of interchangeability with gen. parts

 

[KBH]

UPO = 45.5mm (only one version afaik)
V4 = 42mm, totally different.

So, as drabbits said, that's just a plain average, pre UPO 45.5 mm PO. Probably won't take many, if any, gen parts.

as KBH said UPO = 45.5mm.

This must be the version that was released along with the V4.

Happy feet is the biggest clue.

So is there a way to check and see if it can take gen dial and hands

 

[panac]

Does it make any difference if it has a serial number on the back of the watch.

What are 'happy feet' sorry for being thick and inexperienced ..

 

[KBH]

Look at the difference in the Omega symbol on the dial. The first one with the feet turned up is considered the "happy feet".

If you think you're confused now....>>

[Q5?]

The SN# and date window prove that this is a UPO(45.5). I don't remember if they fixed the happy feet on the most recent ones sold.

+1 That a lot of members are confused wether a Ultimate PO is 42mm or 45.5mm. The dealers sometime use "Ultimate" on the 42mm in their descriptions. But we try to stick to common definitions/identifiers to help clarify which actual model we are discussing.

Thanks guys, as long as the gen dial and hands along with the crown and tube fit I'm gonna be a happy man
