My incoming CrPO (BP) Trusty Time

Recommended Posts

Derek Mc

I have to admit after finding this forum I saw the real depth of love and knowledge for replicas present here, and I decided I wanted to get a piece of that action!!!!

 

I debated for days before pulling the trigger and I will NO DOUBT be criticised for doing what I did, but I went BP, for two factual reasons and one TD type reason over Noob

1. I prefer the matte bezel

2. I love the visible AR

3. I think Andrew at Trusty time is a truly great guy!

4. Revised and centred pearl

5. Fade resistant new ceramic bezel

6. Longer screw down bezel threads

 

I went Asian rather than ETA after reading about the possible reliability issues so pulled the trigger. The entire process was stressful but not nearly as bad as when I had gone out to non TD's myself, as I knew Andrew would take care of me, and, send the watch!

 

I paid and three days after got the QC pics, they were spot on, so about five days after that I got the tracking number it left China via HK 21st April and is on my wrist as I write this.

 

I am delighted it is a truly beautiful watch, so, here are a few unboxing shots! plus a gratuitous wristie as well

After sizing, and GOD! my eyes are getting poor with age! I used a Loupe to ensure I didn't mark the strap at all :)

Holy F man, this is a wonderful shot. To me the bezel looks way better too on this one. If I would order a CrPO it would be the BP version too! Very nice

The bezel has been fixed for durability, and the pearl is now perfectly centred, Also! The crown is sorted it takes a good two turns to undo and lock down.

 

All in despite much advice to the contrary I am like a dog with two d***s over this one, its pretty near perfection ;)

That looks brilliant, I am weighing up ordering that exact one! does the bracelet sound chinky or is it a good solid product?

 

I am currently waiting for the TT Sub but because of a holiday in china it's taking longer than expected!

Good choice.. went Orange numbers myself, but I could have easily got any variation (well, apart from the RG options...)

Thanks for the reply bud.

 

So the only significant difference between BP and noob now would merely be the AR and bezel color am i right?

AR colour, plus the DW print is built up slightly more on Noob (think thicker silver ink) where it is white on BP bezel colour is really the same on ceramic, can't comment on liquid metal however,,

Omega engraving on clasp is slightly heavier on the Noob bu movement detail is better on BP (unles you go Miota then all bet's are off,,,,,:)

Two different factories making the same watch both great versions.

Check the TT to find out. I bought a BP from Perfect Clones and it was around 300$ if I'm not mistaken (with Asian clone ETA).

Sorry, I thought I answered this on my previous reply...BP and NOOB are two different factories making thier own versions of the same watch. Both very good depending on who you ask
