    Nice piece Sam! I own the same one. Where did you source the bezel assembly and cost?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The HE valve screws onto the stem which has threads on end like a bolt. You have to somehow stabilize the stem so you can screw HE valve on it. Maybe try a small flathead watch screw driver. I can't remember but it may have reverse threads which means you have to turn HE valve counterclockwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks Sam I actually like the TC LV insert. It's pretty darn close to gen.t

    Hey fellas just received my Noob LMPO and I'm in awe!This is hands down the best Omega rep I have seen in my plus 20 years in the rep game!It surpasses BP CrPO in fit, finish, weight, AR, crown tube assembly, bezel, insert, dial, pear placement, etc and is on point with the gen. I'm very impressed at what noob has done despite the initial batch with the poor dials. The only cons I would say is sizing the band is a bear!The pins are super tight and I recommend taking it to a professional jeweler unless you have an hour or two to spare, patience, and a very good watch repair kit. Also the divers extension could be tighter and does come loose occasionally. Overall this watch is a go and the best Omega rep out there to date! I opted for the Asian ETA although Swiss is available as well from Puretime. Highly recommend pick one up. Enjoy to the max!

    Hello Gents, I received my TC LV sub a couple of months back and finally got around to doing a review. The ordering process is different than dealing with other trusted dealers but well worth it!Once you place you order and make payment the wait begins. Turn around is usually 25-30 days. TC's packaging is impeccable! I've never seen so much care and attention to detail in wrapping and securing a replica timepiece. TC leads by example and is a trendsetter. I've been in the rep game 20 plus years and hands down this is the best sub next to a gen! From the case, band, dial, bezel assembly, insert, and lume this watch is superb. I highly recommend if you purchase a classic sub TC is the go to guy! Unfortunately this particular model is no longer available, but he recently released a new TC V6 sub with gen like dial and Caddell Vintage insert. All I can say is don't miss out!

    I agree Omega rep bracelets are pretty good. The divers extension can be a bit wonky but for the price they hold up well. Save that $550 for another rep! Possibly a TC Sub V6????

    I had the same issue with my BP CrPO. I used tweezers to hold the stem and twisted the HE valve back on. It's tedious but doable. That's one of of a few reason why I got rid of mine. I now own the LMPO which is a much better Omega rep. Hope this helps.

    Hmmm my clasp is fine but the divers extension could be tighter.

    I received my LMPO and it is GLORIOUS I also have to say QC pics can be a blessing and a curse. The macro shots really over exaggerate small flaws that would not be visible to the naked eye. However they do help us to see that major flaws. I'm very satisfied with my LMPO and despite the difficulty in adjusting the band I would conside it to be a SUPER REP! I would have to say this is hands down the BEST Omega rep out the box. Just be prepared to either take it to a professional jeweler or you'll need a good watch repair kit with a small hammer, pin remover, and band holder to remove the links. Good luck and enjoy to the max!!!!

    Iamdudi check out Angus thread on Repgeek. He actually posted pics of a LMPO on a CrPO bracelet. It didn't look good. I received my LMPO and it is GLORIOUS I'm very satisfied with my LMPO and despite the difficulty in adjusting the band I would consider it to be a SUPER REP! I agree and would have to say this is hands down the BEST Omega rep out the box.

    Nice timepieces! To bad Gamma I just sold my gen Omega SMP on ebay for $1900. I outgrew it and wanted to move on to the new ceramic bezel Omegas.

    Good info Grim didn't know that about noob and bp. If I would have known I would have got the Swiss movement. Received my LMPO and it's awesome!

    Welcome aboard E! LMPO is a great choice for a first rep! I have one on they way! I just answered the swiss asian question so here's my take http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/165497-lmle-po-42mm-asian-or-swiss/ Also consider the newly released Noob CrPO. I hear its got a much improved band over the LMPO. Angus has got a huge thread over on repgeek about it with a few QC pics.

    I just ordered the same watch with asian movement. Usually when Swiss ETA option is available I will take it but lately with the scarcity of Gen ETA movements it seems the rep factories are piecing together old swiss movements to give us the ETA. Nowadays I'm doing strictly Asian because you are more likely to get a new movement. If you don't mind possibly getting a 80's or 90's piece together movement then go for the Gen Swiss ETA. Yes the date wheel should be same.
