prtscn 0 Posted October 27, 2014 Well, perhaps it's time to do a review with regards to the updated BP variant of the Crpo against Noob's? But it's gona be tough having both at the same time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted November 23, 2014 How much was this from Andrew? I might order one Mine was $268 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Nice mate, I have a Noob version on the way to me now, I went for black bezel and orange numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted November 23, 2014 Nice mate, I have a Noob version on the way to me now, I went for black bezel and orange numbers. I went BP as I wanted a glass-back, in hindsight I should never have sold it and am now planning another but LM and 45.5mm balck with chrome, I am between Noob and CrPO Miyota on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImNotFatImFluffy 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Is the new BP's bezel color similar to the gen? Yes, it is flawlessly close to gen 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,,,,, movement detail better on BP? i thought both were way off aside from the rotor, not to mention NOOB doesn't have adjuste dto fiye and also has some nice pearlage, so idk how BP detailing is better. ive got a NOOB pumpkin 45mm coming when Kenny finishes reluming it (should be done, reassembled and coming my way soon) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaaakeey 0 Posted November 23, 2014 The markings on this bp bezel look texturised ( bit like fine sand in paint?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted November 23, 2014 Ceramic's do have that appearance Liquidmetal on the otherhand is glassy glossy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaaakeey 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Not according to my gen crpo bezel. This is my noob 45mm. People talk about noob bezel being too shiny. Look how shiny the gen looks in my pic. Problem is people are trying to gauge the colour of this bezel sayin noob is too shiny and bp if flatter Matt but this is mostly because of the crappy ipad/ camera phones. The only way to judge accurately is use same camera under same lighting. I have all 3 bezels now and unless your massively anal ( yes I am lol) and have all 3 next to each other it's not worth worrying about. The gen is better in every way. Sharp,smooth, perfect, but only noticeable under magnification. I don't think anyone could call out either rep bezel from a few feet away. The blue AR on the other hand is another story. I'm surprised BP haven't sorted this out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted November 23, 2014 I agree on the AR on the BP it really needs addressing and the latest Master co-axial is on the money, I think we are at cross purposes in describing the bezel I am referring to the liquidmetal being sheer and slick the ceramic has a more textured look even though it itself is actually very smooth and flat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simms 1 Posted November 23, 2014 It's hard to go wrong with either version of the CRPO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaaakeey 0 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Check out jonnybaws Post pic (post 13). If you zoom in a bit on the markings (20,30,40,50 etc) you can see the textured fine sandy finish to the paint. That's what I was referring to. I hope we can get a rep PO with an AT maker like decorated movement ( but not myiota) better date window and black balance wheel) Edited November 23, 2014 by snaaakeey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
