Noob Omega LMPO is back!

[mrrusty]

I recommend you soak the bracelet in baby oil over night. Then when removing the pins make sure you use a tool that can push the pins all the way out in the opposite direction to the arrows. Using pliers to pull the pins can result in scratching the edge of the links and actually snapping the pins themselves. Trust me on this one.

Too bling? Leftover V6F 300 Master Coaxial bracelet:

Hey is the lettering on the case back engraved and inked or just smooth printed?
What did you think of the OEM strap?
Thanks!

The lettering on the case back looks like it is laser engraved. The OEM strap looks good, but a previous PO strap pinched my hair, so I didn't even try this one on.

I like the mesh bracelet.. Where did you get it?

I hope the next batch is just as stunning.

The mesh bracelet is made by Staib. I bought it long ago. I did an internet search and found a vendor that sold them at a discount. A few years back, Omega had a PO that came on a mesh strap. I think I remember some of our TD's selling that version of PO (Pure Time?)

 

[oldtools]

can anyone confirm the exact measurement? I tried on a gen CRPO and was shocked by how thick the watch was.

My digital calipers show the height as .570 inches, center of the crystal to the center of the case back.

Is it of higher quality than a standard one off eBay for 40 bucks? They are about 140 it appears...

Well, was playing around with various bracelets.
Will end up ordering either the Noob or V6F CRPO screw only bracelet, I think it looks nicer.

In the meanwhile, a Bond NATO pattern band that I had bought for my 300 Master Coaxial just seems to match the LMPO perfectly!

BTW the V6F CRPO 20mm fits perfectly fine on the Noob LMPO also. It is also very nice and doesn't taper as much as the Noob.

Bracelet it comes with is impossible to size... But digging it on black leather with red stitch !!

 

[Lagunax]

I think a Noob screw only bracelet runs $80 and a V6F one runs $70.

 

[Kadafi]

Does that leather strap come with the watch? It you purchased separately?

You can resize but with lots of care and time. Guns a bit unnecessary?

james bond wears a PO, so guns are necessary....

Is it just me or does the marker look more orange than red?

 

[aphillipe]

Yea.. I'll be honest. The seconds hand "red" is just a tad lighter than the dial... It's not orange per say but it's less bright than the red on the dial. You only notice it if you look for it but it's definitely present.

Yea its an American thing

 

[sinsir]

Thanks @ old tools, looks good.

 

[aphillipe]

Lmao don't start a gun debate with an American.

Haha we have ENOUGH Americans already debating guns as it is... I for one like my rights (and pay A LOT of taxes to have those rights)... SERIOUSLY though... this watch is the nicest out-of-the-box rep I've had yet.

 

[Lagunax]

Bands and indecision be damned!
Couldn't make up my mind so bought a $125 Staib mesh and sourced a screw only 42mm CRPO Omega band ($95 shipped).

Well, I should be good for quite a while unless they rep the Panerai microrotor...

 

[myor]

Can someone help me understand the full list of omega planet oceans as there seem to be so many models. LMPO, CRPO etc?
