New 1:1 Superlumed PO ceramic 8500 reps : CrPO

[Devas]

Received my 45mm Ceramic PO yesterday.

I must say it's in global a really nice rep. The AR has to be done again but is clearly not as catastrophic as it looks in the QC pictures (this said I'll have it done quickly I think...).

The bezel works fine, the global feeling is impressive. I gave it a quick comparison check with a collegue that has the Skyfall PO and it's really nice. A little darker ceramic on this one, different AR and less decorated movement. But the funny thing is that had to ask him to compare otherwise he wouldn't have seen it !!!

Last point, the lume is quite great for me too. Not the bigger superlume I ever seen but clearly not ridiculous and in fact much better than some supposed rep superlume...

Here some iPhone pics (had no time to do better ones...)

Any notice to the fading triangle where the pearl sits?

Very nice! The AR looks awesome!

Thnx man! My first impression on the watch; indeed awesome AR, never had this on a gen or rep before like this. My ploprof had nice blue AR that scratched really easy. This looks miles ahead compared to the Plo.

Further on a really nice build quality. Crown feels pretty good too. The bezel is still a bit too shiny compared to the gen pumpkin I think, but is not exactly the same as the old I guess. Can't compare cause I do not own a V5. Still the bezel rocks!

One little nag; the attachement of the bracelet on 12 feels a tiny bit wobbly and does not fit seamless...

Anyone knows the case number for the 42mm CrPO?? Thinking of getting some parts from ofrei or cousinsuk.. tried searching with the model ref# but found no results. Or are they still not available yet?

I would drop a gen insert in the bezel and done!

 

[DMS]

Thnx guys! That original bezel would def be an option. Haven't seen this one in real life yet, so cannot really compare the colour on it. In some pictures that I took, the colouring looks more and more like gen pictures I have seen....

Grr, I'm torn now between the pumpkin and the blue 45mm

How bigs your wrist?

 

[Bonesey]

Hmm, 7" -ish, but I've had the original 42mm V5 PO and it was perfectly sized. That being said I've had everything up to 47mm vintage pams and the fiddy and not had an issue either.

When our dealers start listing these, please alert everyone here guys!

I have $$$ waiting in PP.

The gen pumpkin definitely has a more matte coating on the bezel but the pumpkin 42mm rep does look to be the best of the 42mms reps.

45mm

....sorry didn't realise that pic was so god damn big :

I'm sure Ryan or Sead should be able to get them by now.

That aside, I have no funds for this, everything in PP is waiting (7 months now!!!) for TC LV Type I submariner.....

 

[Q5?]

Any news on a possible TC SD? :lol:

Toro said 3-5 days. I am just about to pull the trigger to be the first to get the 45 mm from him
