New 1:1 Superlumed PO ceramic 8500 reps : CrPO

[pretender]

Wow, you're flooded with POs there.

I was originally aiming for the ceramic PO since the gen came out as that is my grail from Omega but ended up with building a franken. I never thought that the ceramic PO reps would be this good at the first 'real' attempt. If I knew, I'd hold off and wait until this day. Well, maybe I'll just order the 45mm to have a size variation.

yeah its rare for a first attempt to be so damn good! esp considering the flaws of the PO LM (nice watch but has 2-3 things needing improvement)

yeah...id say i have a lil PO obsession

I am really excited to get one of these. Really do look promising. If you're looking for real accuracy to gen though, I wonder if they managed to get the movement and display case back right? Unlikely.

Normal ceramic PO:

Chrono PO:

Also - how can this be a trusty time exclusive? Surely our TDs will be able to get a hold of it?!

Oh my lord. The pearl look centered like the gen. Love this. But i assume the movement will be a clone of 2824/2836 and decorate to 8500 with arabic geneva style isn't it?

 

[ahboy]

Right guys, i just check their website and the movement is based on eta 2836.

yep looks like a super rep im going to have to go the 42m due to my girly wrist size

i know what you mean jamztio, i just bought a v5 PO (orange bezel), PO LM 42m and a PO Skyfall 45m and a sunny super crystal in the last month alone....i was going to start a fraken project with a v5 PO but now this has come along...almost seems like no need!

Accuracy wise a franken 5th gen will blow these away. These are nice, but the movement will be a big and instant tell.

Website says Swiss ETA 2824-2
What website are you looking at?

Are there pics up yet?

I'm absolutely delighted all things considered, it's never gonna be a gen, but considering the absolute lack of even half decent omega reps over the 2 years this is a great attempt, for a rep.

The 5th gen will be the last really great franken-able omegas, no doubt, this makes a nice addition to the box though.

Ding an Idea!

Man to add more to your obsession;
buy a 45mm CrPO and stick that skyfall dial to it FTW!

will be buying that after
:cny:

OMG See-through case back that seems correct on a rep!! Love it!

 

[corres798]

i want one now......

 

[iori_del]

Where is the white PO?

I need to have this ASAP!

 

[dsmdave]

Does anybody know if any of the trusted dealers on this site will carry this model?

 

[Bonesey]

I'm sure they will do.

 

[razorblade]

Waiting for more news and possibly the price with an asian clone.

Really minor nitpick, but "ADJUSTE * DTO" ?

I didn't look at gen pics of the movement, but that engraving on the Rep looks really wrong to me. Kinda like the DONOTUNSCREW engraving on the bell and Ross watches.

Wouldn't call that nitpicking at this price point.

 

[Bonesey]

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

Is this watch with a Skyfall Dail available?
