avrahamk1 0 Posted February 21, 2015 They are both too blue but the Miyota is less blue and far clearer. Well, now I even more glad I went for the V6F! Best deal on the market right now for those who are looking for CrPO! It's a BP, you could see it by the fading bezel and the movement. Great review and comparison! Would love to see sometime a side by side with the V6F model. Dont think a V6F exists, NOOB,miyota,BP, miyota is the best for this model, but......... BP make the best 42mm pumpkin IMO. They are all good but the miyota is now a serious player in the world of PO Miyota is the name of the movement that the V6F/KW has in it. V6F/KW is the name of the chinese factory that make those reps (like Noob, BP, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icemix69 4 Posted February 21, 2015 I just knew them as KW, probably all made in the same factory, bullshit baffles brains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Great comparison, the rep would certainly benefit from clear double ar coating for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisby 1 Posted February 22, 2015 Wow fantastic comparison here Greg! I've always liked the CrPo with orange numerals. I may have to consider getting one My pumpkin, I haven't worn in some time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,463 Posted February 22, 2015 Great review and photos! I know how much work goes into these threads, especially taking the photos - it's not a 5-minute job, that's for sure! The rep looks excellent but that AR has to go. Better with none at all IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted February 22, 2015 The "Seamaster" on the rep dial also seems quite a bit lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks gents. "20footer" would have to comment on the version Ice. Thanks Del. Agree, no AR would be better. Tin, side by side the rep is lighter, but on the wrist with no reference would be hard to spot IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisby 1 Posted February 22, 2015 Wow fantastic comparison here Greg! I've always liked the CrPo with orange numerals. I may have to consider getting one My pumpkin, I haven't worn in some time... What version is it, i love a pumpkin no idea to be honest... it has happy feet, the crown is stripped...but still works like a dream. Anyway this thread is all about that gorgeous CrPo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks gents. Tin, side by side the rep is lighter, but on the wrist with no reference would be hard to spot IMO. Fair enough. Its a beauty, enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20Footer 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Wow fantastic comparison here Greg! I've always liked the CrPo with orange numerals. I may have to consider getting one My pumpkin, I haven't worn in some time... What version is it, i love a pumpkin Im not 100% on which BP version this is. I picked it up from TT Oct/Nov 2013. As you can see it has some bezel fade but not like the first versions of this model that completely erased after a bit. I have a silver numeral version that was picked up a couple months after this one and seems to have even less fade issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20Footer 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Also the AR seems to vary at least among this one and my silver numeral one. You think this one is bad. The silver one AR makes the dial almost appear blue in certain light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffrsho 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Great comparison! When I received my gen, the two things that stuck out to me were; the AR on the crystal and the finish of the grooves on the HE and crown. Other than that, the rep is very close. Actually it's scary close to the gen. With a clear AR I would say the risk of being called out is next to none!

nunu78 1,743 Posted February 23, 2015 Nice review, now I want CrPO wants more and more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDocHolliday 2 Posted February 23, 2015 Great photos! The only thing that bugs me so much about this is the rep on this model has the case back half fluted! The movement has some nice flute. I know you can't replicate the beauty of the 8500 to perfection but you can at least flute the back half of the movement. to meet up to standard. I want the new gmt model but it does that same thing with all the model I've seen, Half case back flute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Great review thanks so much for the effort. I recently received a pumpkin BP from M2M and the pearl was missing the clear cover. My CrPO (exact same model as the review watch) had a slightly faded bezel so I ordered a grey and a pumpkin bezel insert from Toro. I replaced the bezel inserts over the weekend. What fun! Did oi larf! Anyway, the fact is that the AR on the pumpkin is very blue, same as the review watch but my original CrPO (from TT Nov 13) is much paler. Yes, I know I can't take any at the moment, I'm not in the same country as the pumpkin. I'll try and take some comparison shots at the weekend. It's interesting to see such an obvious variation in the BP AR colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
