Yeah I suppose so. I guess I was just interested to try to guage the degree of variability of "green-ringness" in others' 42 CrPO's in real life once they got them in their hands. A lot of people have put up their QC pics on this board and others and to be honest on most other pieces it looks like there is no green ring at all or a very minimal effect. Mine is quite pronounced. Certainly it looks like no 45's have them - maybe it is an artifact of having better AR on the 42 CrPO when comparing it with ARs on both 5GPO and 45 CrPO? I did flag it with my dealer that I couldn't see the green ring present in my QC photos in the photos of the watches on the website, he put it down to lightbox and lighting etc., but when I received mine, you can see the green flashing at you like a beacon at the right angle! My crystal is seated properly so it's not that. It's probably just the green gasket as you say. I'll shut up now lol
Here's a few more pics. It's on it's way back to China.. I have a 42mm on the way also .. Ill post pics of both once they arrive.
It's stamped Titanium on the back of the clasp
really great piece
Definitely single AR on this 45,5mm version. But I like the watch nonetheless
The pearl in not sitting flat on the bezel, I would like to reglue it but I don't know if it is safe to just remove it with a knife or something like that. Any experiences?

There are probably others who can answer better, but I plan on removing my bezel, then insert, then adjusting my pearl from the inside of the insert (based on my QC pics, I have the same problem, only worse). I wouldn't try to pull that pearl from the front side, if that's what you're asking. I'd be afraid of damaging the insert or the pearl.
No watch pictures here still waiting on mine. Quick question for the US based customers. How accurate was you est. arrival date compared to the date that it actually arrived? The reason I ask is because EMS is not updating and I was wondering if the est. date that EMS gives is accurate.
Have anyone noticed how easy it is to make bezel paint (numbers) start fading just only by rubbing it with finger?

I was emailing andrew regarding some information about the future of these PO and he said asian movement will be coming out shortly and around 4 months from now there will be a skyfall version
YES! I'm down with saving some money
What do you guys think, maybe ~$90 difference in price?Received the gen 2500d.
definately worth it compared to the v5, although the v5 is a very nice out of the box rep -- gen for the win!
QUOTE=canuck2k;1304770]I had the gen briefly and the v5 PO but felt they were a bit too heavy on the bracelet. I am thinking of buying the gen 2500 again and wearing it on a strap. The original PO will hold their value well, so I think even though it costs a lot more than a rep in the long run it will be worth it.[/QUOTE]

One thing I noticed with these was that the lume on the dial are greener than the lume on the hands. Is it the same on the gen? Its hard to tell from gen pics.
I don't remember seeing a delivery estimate, but it took 11 days to get from origin scan in China to me in Colorado. That's a bit longer than it usually takes for me.

And I thought I was imagining it.
Mine appears to have faded around the pearl triangle due to being rubbed by clothing
For this model if you see the movement is not identical as gen?

Can we get pics of this bezel fading issue?
To anyone that knows about movements it will be immediately obvious it's not a genuine. But you can't see the movement when it's on your wrist

All the way back to CN for that? Some basic watch skills could probably have that fixed in 10 minutes. Hell, send it to me, I'll see if it can be bent back, if it can't your no worse off.
