ajminla Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 Just ordered one with the Asian movement. I hope I won't regret passing on the ETA movement. But $150 was a big cost differential. Andrew in LA
EMM Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 There is no 45mm Liquidmetal PO. They only came one way. 42mm, black, gloss bezel, closed CB. If you like something else with a ceramic bezel, it's the updated regular PO, also known as the CrPO, CUPO, etc.

sgtguk Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Pretty sure its going to be up there derik looks really good in the pics so far, just gotta wait till someone gets one to see in the flesh

Is that just an update or is it a completely new watch?
Guest Schildking Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 who sell ceramic bezel for PO 42mm?
rek001 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 OK so I read on Repgeek that Angus said it took 1 year to perfect this rep and he doesn't know if or how long it will take to do the 42mm blue titanium PO, he was def hedging about it. Comments?
tyrantblade Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Updated PO? There are pics in this thread with a watch with the new Omega clasp. Is that just an update or is it a completely new watch? updated = new model, only thing the new and old seem to share is case design, markers, and hands. so basically, yeah completely new watch. theres a ceramic bezel PO in 42mm, but it should be only a month or two before NOOBs release comes out, from the looks of the LM, the CrPO from NOOB should have a much better pearl, and it shouldnt have the crown/stem issue of the BP CrPO. if you meant just the bezel, idk.

Comments? Why would he hurt his own sales of this new LMPO by saying the TIPO released soon, why would he give any information that may stop people buying the new watch?
tyrantblade Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Why would he hurt his own sales of this new LMPO by saying the TIPO released soon, why would he give any information that may stop people buying the new watch? i dont think titanium PO would hurt LMPO sales, 2 completely different watches, the titanium is only available in blue, is light, is a regular production watch AFAIK, and i think comes in 42mm and 45.5, LMPO is shiny black, SS, and a limited edition (they made 1948 gens to commemorate the year the first "seamaster" came out), coming only in 42mm.
sgtguk Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Your dead right mate the two pieces are entirely different Personally I wont be getting the LMPO but am still waiting for the 42 TiPO and I'll get the 45 Noob Ceramic too when it comes out if they get them right, which they will
gavinelli Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Ordered Congrats man! Hope your happy with your purchase when it arrives mate, an that you can share some photos of it with me and the rest of the thread
OysterSub Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Congrats man! Hope your happy with your purchase when it arrives mate, an that you can share some photos of it with me and the rest of the thread Thanks! It will be my second rep and I think I'll be much happier with this one, I ordered a 45 CuPO from Trusty right before they released the 42 LM one so hopefully that one will be the daily. It's a good time to to be an omega rep addict
Sparkal Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Had to bite the Bullitt on this. My first omega rep since my China trip a year ago. Fingers crossed for speedy deliverysent from my smart phone whilst sitting on the toilet
sergio789 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 My 2c. Ti is more of aquired taste. Ti will get easily scratched as it's made of softer Ti alloy (I'm sure). In 2-3 months the watch will look very "used", while SS will remain shiny. I've got a couple gen Ti watches (and other bits made of Ti:) and they are all like that.
markiemark Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Why would he hurt his own sales of this new LMPO by saying the TIPO released soon, why would he give any information that may stop people buying the new watch? Maybe he's an honest salesman unlike those cartel douches
fitmic Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Does NOT look okay! Either the 12 marker is tilted or the 12 numbers, or Omega sign are or Omega letters are all tilted. The surrounding of the pearl and bezel looks like there is some glue or smudges on it.
sgtguk Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Looks good mate, really good ! I just feel for the guy who owns the Gen of 1225/1948 thought that was the angle on pic but logo does look off ?
OysterSub Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Does NOT look okay! Either the 12 marker is tilted or the 12 numbers, or Omega sign are or Omega letters are all tilted. The surrounding of the pearl and bezel looks like there is some glue or smudges on it. Yeah I think this is caused by the tilt on the actual watch not the dial. I do see the smudges but they appear to be finger printers. I would ask for another pic with them cleaning the bezel and/or replace it. Other then that, it's a stunning rep for sure.

markiemark Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 the lume looks/is sloppy, other than that it looks good as f...!
Rolexman Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 We are back 5 years ago when the first 42mm PO came out... crooked Omega symbol, almost no hand clearance, laser etching ... jeez! I would not touch this with a 10ft pole. The H factory CrPo is 10 times better quality wise.

I would not touch this with a 10ft pole. The H factory CrPo is 10 times better quality wise. I have the same bad feeling. I'll wait some weeks more, I want to read some reviews first
