You can barely see that portion of the engraving when the caseback is on. If at all.

Can't see that engraving at all with the case back in place. And for all we know it could be a legit engraving. Someone who is willing to open their gen please let us know ;)

Wow for a V2 (or whatever we want to internally call it) this is spectacular.

MY VP wears the gen everyday so I would have a hard time wearing the rep next to him, but for what its worth I think this looks fabulous and I will seriously consider getting the 42mm.

Q5? im with you re. gen parts availability.

Pap please don't say your going to build another franken PO. The last time you did that I spent 6 months building 2 PO's of my own!

Stay away! I cant afford any more gen parts :D lol

We'll never get gen parts for these, well we might ;) but heard some quotes so far of things like 800 Euro for a bezel etc :O ...bloody watch manufactures running with their pricing these days.

For me this is trial run for a gen, real trial run, not a try on in an AD try on trial run :) I really don't want to sell several watches I really like to fund the gen if it doesn't wear right over 6 months or so. This is a great rep for a trial run. Hard to beat that old 42mm PO!

I really like the upgrades they have made on the new PO's. Its all really exciting.

Personally I've never been crazy about the new look (as a whole). I always liked the LM limited edition PO better, but I'm starting to understand the rationale behind the orange branding and stuff. Funny, I kinda felt the same way about Pams and a few other watches in the past. Now I love them all. You see and read about these watches everyday and it almost becomes an acquired taste.

Despite the movement flaw, i have the propensity to pick apart the flaws and intend to buy the white, black with orange number and the black with white number.

Good point there!

Hoping to get more pictures and reviews before jumping in. Of course it'll be best if the asian clone is available from our TDs.

I'm sure our TD can source it, I highly doubt that PC is the only supplier the manufacturer is willing to distribute through

This is from BP fac, not Noob, and they are tight with A and J so they might get first exclusive selling rights, just as Noob are tight with Angus.

Should filter down to all the dealers in a week or two, I put in an order for a 45mm and a 42mm so will give some feedback when they come, bloody more PO's! ...hopefully they get out of C before CNY, otherwise may not see them till end of Feb :) still can't believe they were released so shortly after being previewed. Should be plenty of feedback on the boards over the coming weeks/month.
