Maybe best to rename this thread Noob CPO/CUPO rather than CrPO 42mm.
I think there is a lot that could be done, but to the 42mm black CPO moreso than the 45mms, but still the current 45mm Ti is a good rep. The main things on the standard CPO will be on the bezel paint, pearls, dws, dial texture/blackness, improved dial markers ,improved logos, improved clasps on the 42mm, improved crown/tube on the 42mm etc.
Looking so far at even the preview shots, (which don't reveal a whole lot!) but do reveal a few things....1. The dial texture is better (blacker!) 2. The dw is more genlike, 3. the case finishing is crisper...better edges to brushed sides. and last but not least the bracelet is being made by the same factory that made the noob explorer II bracelet(the best bracelet on any rep ever) so already a few improvements. The real trial will be getting AR/bezel/pearl etc better, if they can do these it will be a fantastic rep...if they don't it will be a dud.
