My UPO franken project

Recommended Posts

Inushuk

My second project was to upgrade my brother's UPO.

 

So I bought (for him) the UPO from a fellow at repgeek.

here is the watch when I received it :

The watch already had the AR done and came with a gen crown and gen tube.

 

It had a gen rubber strap (I kept it for me my brother wanted a ss strap)

 

It had the happy feet logo

 

I did not like the insert and the perl so I bought and after market insert and change it myself.

 

As I had a spare SS bracelet from my previous project I installed it on the UPO.

 

Then I bought the "full" package : gen hands + gen dial + new date wheel and sent everything to Uwe (fine dd) for installation and waterproof testing.

 

and ..... here is the result ...

BTW here are the 2 Franken UPO black

Major difference are :

the perl and insert : gen on the right

the full bezel : gen on the right

the saphire : gen on the right - double AR on left

the He valve : gen on the right

the strap : gen rubber on the right

 

of course the one of the right is mine ... B) the other is my brother's ... :P

 

 

Thanks to Uwe for his excellent job again and thanks for looking :)
