JohnG 41 Posted July 29, 2014 I appreciate all of the feedback you guys. I guess I'm just on the fence as to whether or not I can wear it confidently. You all seem to be telling me that it's all good. ;P Yes, you can wear it confidently. NO ONE outside of these forums has any clue what the "tells" are on these watches. You see this stuff because you spend hours looking a macro shots of genuine and replica versions of this watch and then looking at your own watch with a magnifying glass. This is a top rep and if it were mine and I were next to a guy with the gen on a plane, I would not be uptight in the slightest. Trust me,l that guy is not going to notice ANYTHING off. I say this from long experience. But if you don't want it, I am going to be buying a noob LMPO soon, so pm me if you decide to sell it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Quite Dead 9 Posted July 29, 2014 It looks good to me and distinctly better on the pearl front than my own version of the same. Note to self change bezel insert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyJack 0 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks great! If you can't tell the lume errors with the naked eye who cares. I would rock that watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grahambo 0 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Looks great! If you can't tell the lume errors with the naked eye who cares. I would rock that watch! You'd REALLY have to look to see that the lume is slightly off in places. Definitely not something that stands out. Edited July 30, 2014 by grahambo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grahambo 0 Posted July 30, 2014 I have to say, the brightness of the lume is excellent. http://imgur.com/fm7pejk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randomguy101 0 Posted July 31, 2014 Looks good, the lume on 6 seems a bit uneven on your first pic but that's easy to live with. Markers look straight to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grahambo 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Looks good, the lume on 6 seems a bit uneven on your first pic but that's easy to live with. Markers look straight to me. That is something that I didn't notice straight away- only on inspection of the hi res image. 5 and 1 are off too. Such a minor thing though. I can absolutely live with that.

grahambo 0 Posted August 17, 2014 So this has been out for a little while now. What feasible mods would you guys make? I'd like to find a fix for the "bracelet gap". I think that is the biggest tell. The date window being a little beveled is a slight tell but that isn't fixable unless you get a new dial. Nobody will ever see that anyway unless they are handling the watch AND they know what they are looking for. Besides that, after having this one for a few weeks I have to say, the quality is pretty excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrie 1 Posted August 18, 2014 Not all gens have straight markers either. I don't know where the thread is (maybe on another forum) but someone posted a link to a thread on a gen forum on crooked markers. It's not a biggie unless it's noticeable by someone else who doesn't know about it. Hand your watch to someone and ask them to pick some faults with the dial. If it takes them more than 10 seconds to say crooked markers, it's time to get over it and enjoy the watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seand83 0 Posted August 18, 2014 I just picked this up from Tony. I'm a little bummed with some of the details. What do you guys think? http://i.imgur.com/cjm5mjj.jpg Watch looks great to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomguy101 0 Posted August 18, 2014 IMO Biggest tell for LMPO is the orange second hand tip, gen is red. I haven't seen anyone do it but I imagine it's easily fixable with a bit of modelling paint. But then again nobody actually has a gen, there's 1948 of them ever and if I see one I'm going to assume they got it from a TD. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-liquidmetal-limited-edition-ref-222-30-42-200-1001-a-701714.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
