matty1938 0 Posted November 20, 2017 Good morning gentleman. Struggling to pick a PO. i had a gen 2500 42mm and loved it. I can't really spend that sort of money on a watch again for a year or so, I been looking into the best reps for PO's, seems the LMPO is a real beauty, but needs the crpo bracelet for the gen feel!? The crpo is a great rep, the movement aside from noob is not worth worrying about for me as it's on the wrist! Then last night I reading the UPO...it's a bit bigger at 45mm but I do love the Alu bezel so it's an option! My question is, as all I can see so far is that the orange bezel models the inserts are a big tell due to printing, is this still the case cus I always longed for that orange bezel when I had mine lol! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty1938 0 Posted November 20, 2017 ^^^ to clarify....noob 42 crpo is at the moment, top of the list due to build quality and accuracy. - movement doesn't bother me as higher beat and on the wrist. UPO is now just behind. LMPO is strong....worried about Bracelet feel however since having a gen before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffuhcu 3 Posted November 20, 2017 I love my 42mm CrPO and share your view on the movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted November 20, 2017 Orange bezels have a fainter thick gloss paint and it's not the thinner PVDF finish as per the gen. Also numbers and text a washy orange - not as vivid as the gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,875 Posted November 20, 2017 I had noob and BP LMPO and CRPO I always preferred the BP CRPO in terms of 1:1 the noob was closer but in terms of impact, build quality and feel on the wrist the BP had the better feeling of a gen. Everything else felt a bit cheaper on the noob, the bezel rotation, the bracelet and clasp and even the crown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty1938 0 Posted November 20, 2017 Whoaaaaa @deju this is not the consensus I have heard so far?? That noob was far closer to gen in bracelet quality? It's big for me having owned gen to have that nice bracelet feel, I had a v6 sub and it had to go due to bracelet sharp edges feel. Are the bp's still available? You've thrown a spanner in my works lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've thrown a spanner in my works lol Everyone is bothered about the 1:1 and noob is closer in case shape (BP is taller? IIRC). But the BP just felt better. Ideal world buy both and Keep the one you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raevyn00 0 Posted November 20, 2017 I just bought the V6F version from an M2M sale and from the reading I've done it's not all that different from the noob version other than movement. (Noob is high beat) Mine is 45mm also not 42. I owned a 42 from Mary but it was a cheaper version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,507 Posted November 20, 2017 Bracelet of the LMPO in NOT crap at all. It's just uneasy to size, that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gen can be a bitch too, and is horrible to get right in size! Too tight to get on the wrist or too loose once it's on lol! Is the feel good?? That puts the LMPO back in the race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine, after sizing it, is good: not rattly, not sharp edges, once closed it stay closed... So for me it's ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
