PO vs LMPO

[Akilles]

What would you guys (and girls) go for; The

PO Liq.Metal Ceramic 42 mm (2013)

or the

PO Ceramic 42 mm (2013)

Easy choise or is it a draw?

Been away while but nice to be back with you gents!

[indywatchguy]

Hands down the Noob Liquid Metal Ceramic PO 2013 just make sure to triple check dial on QC pics. First batch was plagued with crooked numbers but hands down best Omega to date next to black Cr 300 SMP

Josh says that he would choose the PO over LMPO. He says that LMPO overall has more flaws, that's why Im conserned because I personally think that the LMPO is a nicer watch.

[Axxel]

I have the LMPO and its great!

[Akilles]

Does the LMPO have any mayor flaws that you should be aware about?

Josh does not sell the LMPO... That's why.

[signumboy]

Josh does not sell the LMPO... That's why.

Ha pmsl

[Akilles]

Well Rolexman, if he doesn't, you have to tell what product he has under the category: Omega / SPO Ceramic / 42mm SPO Ceramic / P-ocean Liquidmetal 42mm?

You are not looking at his old webbpage address that Josh does not own anymore that belongs to scammers?

[Rolexman]

I stand corrected. Maybe he has it listed but I know Josh and Andrew rather not sell Noob-factory watches. Don't know if it is because they are hard to obtain for them or margins are different. That's why they push BP- factory watches like the PO Ceramic.

[Akilles]

Just sent Josh a mail:

"Is your POLM the Noob Factory version?"

and he replied:

"Yes ...

Don't go for that .. Many complaints has surfaced since launch ..

It's widely reported in the forums .."

I don't know what to believe anymore!!!

[zero_deficit]

Josh and Andrew had a falling out with the people at Noob a few years back, so their ability to source noob products are a bit more limited than other dealers. They have also in the past made a fair few false claims about Noob, like their factory is closing down and such.

 

I would go for the Noob LMPO

[Akilles]

Is Silix the only supplier of the LMPO right now? I asked him if the "fading bezel" is still an issue but he has not replied

[Axxel]

try puretime

[Akilles]

Just sent a mail to Puretime, asking if the "fading bezel"-issue is fixed. If he says yes, I will make an order!

[Boirefish]

Intime is also good

[Akilles]

Is he a dealer here? Whats the URL

[Uberscreamer]

 URL  is  www.intime.co

 

Toro also has the LMPO listed on his site

 

>> http://www.torobravos2013.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=843

 

 I have used both of these dealers, and both have been good to work with.

[preacher62]

It is my understanding that the 42mm v5 PO is the best choice if you want to mod with gen parts.  Most gen parts fit.

[preacher62]

Toro says his watch is 16mm thick when most are 13.5mm.   That's a big difference.

[Akilles]

Yes, I've heard everything between 14 to 16 mm on the LMPO so that will be a suprise! I just made an order anyway, will soon return with QC-pics for you eyes only

[Akilles]

your

[Uberscreamer]

The Gen 2500 PO is around 14mm, and the LMPO Gen is supposed to be this format as well.

 

  I have not seen one of these reproductions of the LMPO in the flesh yet, has anyone gotten one that can verify if they are actually as thick as 16mm like one of the newer 8500 PO 42 cases should be?  If so, this is a bit of a large oversight on their part when repping the piece, especially since so much of the watch is otherwise almost perfectly done!  

 

Hopefully this is just a typo on the page and nothing more, basically an assumption that it is the same height as the other newer reps for the 8500 PO 42.

[indywatchguy]

Ak i'm not sure which PO you were trying to order but LMPO 42mm never had a fading bezel issue...that was the newer Ceramic with the see thru glass caseback.

[indywatchguy]

And becareful when dealing with Josh or Andrew cause they will sway you away from Noob products cause of the friction they have with noob factory. Listening to us seasoned members on RWG and we'll steer you in the right direction

[knovako2]

As far as overall quality of the rep, you prefer LMPO over ceramic just because of fading bazel on Ceramic version? Or is there anything else of a concern? I'm asking because Ceramic PO is really appealing to me and trying to decide which one to get.
