It is amazing how many people come here having bought the "el cheapo" first. Welcome.

Great photo, must resist the urge to buy one!

Classic little collection there!

Fantastic shots of a great watch.

TC Sub and I haven't even got it yet

Not a fan of these but wear it in good health!

Have a look at the TDs here, I got this one from Toro.

Hesalite is famously used on the Omega Speedmasters, once every few months I use polywatch to remove scratches from mine.

Bezel seems fine to me. Yes just pins in the bracelet I used my small "solid metal big screw" pin pusher as the plastic one I have looked like it would fall apart even looking at the watch. Make sure you are using the arrows but don't be fooled by the one on the half-link.

Seems to have gained just 11 seconds in the 28 hours since I set it - good stuff.

It's the Liquid Metal limited edition from noob via Toro. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I had one delivered today from Toro today and it went direct from HK to the UK. It went a very strange route once in the UK but was direct before it got here.

No screws just pins, you'll a reasonable pin pusher too not the cheap plastic one.

My tip on the bracelet is not to try and remove the pin of the half-link. It has an arrow but don't be fooled! If you do the entire end will likely fall off and need fixing. The tube that holds the pin also seems to be a slightly thinner diameter on this link too which limits your options for using one from another link if you lose it.

It's here! http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/170494-lmpo-first-rep-in-over-5-years-impressions/

Forgive the second post in today's wrist thread but swapped to this after it was delivered earlier:

I haven't bought a rep for about five years and have been away from the forums. When I came back recently I was really trying to assess what might be a good purchase. I'm not really a modder so I wanted something that was good to go out of the box as it were. I'm a fan mostly of Omega (owning a Gen Speedy) as well as Rolex and Breitling. The reps I have are from 2007/8/9 and were all considered super reps at the time so that is what I was looking for. I might do a separate post in comparing my experiences from back in the day to now but for now let me concentrate on this watch. I'll also do a separate review of the TD. Initial impressions out of the plastic were great. I did have a fear that there might be something I missed on the QC pics but nothing I've noticed so far. That dial is fantastic and very "gen-like". Adjusting feels a little "looser" than gen POs I've played with but overall very good first impression. The bracelet though is a bit of a let down. Firstly it was an absolute nightmare to resize and I made the same mistake as others by trying to take the pin out of the half-link. I also managed to scratch the side of one of the links pulling the pin out. Anyway once I'd broke out the glue and a bigger toolkit it is all back together and working. The etching on the clasp is sharper than on my old UPO but still not at the level of my Speedy (although I don't know what the gen clasp on the LMPO looks like in terms of etching "sharpness"). Generally the bracelet doesn't feel very gen-like and I think this is destined to end up on leather (might even spring for a gen strap). Overall I am very happy with my new purchase the LMPO looks and feels very gen-like. I would say though if this had been my first ever rep, aside from not having a huge set of watch tools to sort the bracelet, I might have been put off by the bracelet experience. That said it did take me back to sizing a UPO bracelet years ago which was equally a nightmare. Obligatory photos.

Having flown overnight I have no idea what day it is so originally posted this in the Saturday thread. Wearing this now I am home.
