wescombe Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, Was reading this thread and was looking at the 2 versions linked below. Can someone please advise on what they think of the quality between the 2 and also if there is much in the way of differences between the Asian 2824 and the ETA 2836-2. For example is the quality much better on the LMPO but the 2836-2 is better or are they close, I think I would rather have the better time keeper but is the quality difference going to be more noticeable. http://puretime-asia.com/product/planet-ocean-42mm-liquidmetal-limited-edition-11-noob-best-edition/ or http://puretime-asia.com/product/planet-ocean-42mm-ultimate-edition-blackwhite-on-ss-bracelet-eta2836/ Thanks in advance.

ryaku Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Quality wise I would say go for the LMPO. As for the movement, regardless of the model (2824 vs 2836), it's hit or miss in the rep world. 2824 and 2836 are equally reliable if properly oiled and serviced ...which is not always the case for replicas. The movement (2824) in my LMPO works extremely well but it's luck of the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseiko Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Is there a good place to source spare 2824 movements for these if it does go south? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'd like one of these for my collection and PT says they will be back in stock for mid June. I read that these take a year to produce (I read that I don't know if it's true!) on that basis I'm worried that this next batch may have been quickly assembled to meet demand. Should I be concerned?

glight2000 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I may end up selling mine. I've been embroiled in a double-franken project that's turned into a larger-than-expected undertaking. I haven't even taken the plastic off the LMPO. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-16707 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) are the numbers/printing on the bezel durable unlike those of the crPO and tiPO? In the crPO and tiPO it seems like the numbers are just printed on top of the glossy coat making them prone to scratching off. i guess what im asking is when this watch is 10years old will it start to look like its been beat up with numbers scratching off Edited June 25, 2014 by b-16707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 when this watch is 10years old will it start to look like its been beat up with numbers scratching off With daily use most certainly it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
