Following a 2-week wait, (...really not too long considering it fell in the middle of the CN National Holiday) my CrPO from a RWG TD arrived today. I'll do a better photo layout later with a full review, but for now here's the 'long 'n short'...enjoy!

Very good packing...

I love this bubble wrap cause I can use it to travel with multiple watches.

Not bad...although It has some of the usual problems with the crown tube and setting, but not a deal breaker. I think I can get that remedied down the line.

TD was Perfect Clones (not a TD here but next door at RWG)

Thanks! You know, I think I've figured out why that fading thing happens. A close loupe look shows those numbers are some kind of light paint appliqué that may be very vulnerable to skin oil. I noticed that the '20' has already begun to show signs of fade and it's never really been exposed to a lot of sunlight.

As a test I'm gonna keep my fingers off the face of the bezel (...or wear gloves to adjust the bracelet) and see what happens.

great watch! IMO the best colour combination..just wish the bezel didnt fade :(

Looks great. Fingers crossed. The bezel paint doesn't rub off yours the first day you wear it.

Looks very nice. I am currently awaiting arrival of mine, will probably receive it tomorrow! May I ask what size you went with? Looks good on your wrist, I went with the xl, hopefully it will be alright.

A couple of months is VERY indicative.. Moreover first batches of LMPO had some qc issues AFAIK, thus the wait for a good one from noob could be longer than we think.
Just my two cents..

Received mine today, seems ok. I got the 45.5mm version, it's pretty heavy but beautiful.
