mattyjupatti 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Guys, Not sure if there is something blindingly obvious and I'm missing it or there is nothing at all. I'm looking to get my first rep and I've decided on the improved LMPO due to the fade problems with the CrPO. I have seen these two watches. But can not see any difference other than $70 in price. http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_114&products_id=11073 And http://www.tswatchltd.com/product.php?id_product=14080 Thanks Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted January 13, 2014 They seem they same. BTW- there's a new Noob Factory Ceramic PO which is really great, you may consider that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 13, 2014 - or the LM LE closed caseback version also from noob... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattyjupatti 0 Posted January 13, 2014 They seem they same. BTW- there's a new Noob Factory Ceramic PO which is really great, you may consider that. Yeah I really like the ceramic ones, although I am always unsure which the new ones are. Do you mind me asking who you got it from? And is the bezel fade problem solved with the new ones. It's a beautiful watch, is yours the 42? I'll have to opt for that size due to my small wrists. Thanks! - or the LM LE closed caseback version also from noob... LM LE? I'm unaware of this model? Is it the blue titanium one or something different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 13, 2014 It's the Limited Edition version of the liquid metal PO - not the titanium version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kleen™ 45 Posted January 13, 2014 LM is just an abbreviation for Liquid metal, but the LE has the 'no-tell' advantage of a closed caseback... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattyjupatti 0 Posted January 13, 2014 LM is just an abbreviation for Liquid metal, but the LE has the 'no-tell' advantage of a closed caseback... Yeah, like the ones in the link? I would much rather opt for those. Not a fan of the glass back ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Noob LM LE and the watch in both the links in the first post of this thread is the same. I've also ordered the Noob CRPO and will be interested to see how it differs (quality wise) with the Noob LMPO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 13, 2014 My bad gents, for not being specific enough: The 'other' LM I was referring to in this comparison was the just released LM (42 and 45mm versions) from Noob vs. the earlier release LM LE from Noob. Clear now?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clear now?! Are you saying that the one at $278 is the earlier Noob release (v1) and the one at $348 is the newer Noob v2 ? If so, can you please advise the differences between the two from the pictures in the two links. I only ask because I recently bought the Noob LM LE and want to clarify weather I have v1 or v2 ! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kucingarab 0 Posted February 5, 2014 they are the same watch. Only different seller put different price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero_deficit 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Omega Liquidmetal Planet Ocean (LMPO) 42mm - Gen Ltd Edition of only 1948 pieces. This is made by Noob and is the one in the links. This has no fading bezel issue Omega Liquidmetal Planet Ocean BLUE TITANIUM in 42mm and 45mm - These come in BLUE TITANIUM and has an OPEN caseback. This is made by BP factory. This has fading bezel issue. Then you have the usual ceramic PO 42 and 45mm, the older ones have closed caseback, but as liquidmetal is being introduced into all the other Omega models, these are starting have open casebacks. Reps of these are made by Noob and BP factories. Fading issues are supposedly fixed in the open caseback releases Reason in price difference is that Josh and Andrew don't exactly have the best relationship with Noob factory and can't get Noob products as easily as other dealers. While there is only one version of the LMPO, there has been several batches that have fixed some quality control issues. Imo, if you want to buy Noob products, don't buy from Josh, Andrew or Connie. Oh... and I believe the LMPO is sold out anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattyhobbs 0 Posted February 7, 2014 The Noob LMPO LE suffered from poor dial alignment. Im not sure if there has been a new batch since then iv had mine for about 5 months. On mine there are quite a few QC problems that you could not tell from the photos sent by the seller. The dial is slightly misaligned and some of the hour markers are a bit crooked. The misalignment is probably only a couple of degrees but if you look closely you can tell. Other than that though it is a fantastic looking watch! On the other hand, I have asked loads of friends to try and spot the faults without telling them and not one have found it, so maybe its just me! All I would say it be careful with the LE version, I agree the solid caseback is better than display caseback though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratubbs 0 Posted February 18, 2014 Matty , why the solid case back over the display? Personal like or build issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
