heres a pic of my LMPO next to my CRPO
hard to say which is the better rep...both are pretty damn sweet!
yeah i would have to agree with Vinyjones, the bracelet is pretty much the same as the V5PO.....probably is!
so the CRPO bracelet is far superior, just feels nicer and abit heavier
the movement/crown and tube are better in the CRPO but its a swiss movement v.s asian 2824 so not a fair comparison.
However the LMPO is hands down better from a dial & lume perspective (if your lucky enuogh to snag one that is algined properly!
hope this helps!
cheers
Got mine finally from an M2M. This is my opinon based on what I know about Omega's. owned a bunch, but not this model.
Crystal is 10/10 (better than Gen. Xtals I have seen this is an unbelievable beauty)
Bracelet is 1/10 ( canal street worse than any rep I have owned in last 3 years must be replaced)
Stem/Crown 6/10 (same as V5 and UPO 6/10)
Date wheel 6/10 (font good, but sunken in this is a dead give away compared to Gen Omega's)
Case 8/10 (Appears to be good quality and similar to V5 at a glance)
Bezel pearl 7/10 (looks very nice, but Lume sucks)
Insert X/10 (not sure would like this compared to a Gen in a photo shoot)
Caseback 9/10 (they always look good to me)
Personally, think this is a good launching pad for a franken. The key components in my eyes are acceptable (dial, crystal, bezel).
I will send this to someone with a Gen for a side by side review if you have one let me know.

Thanks for the info surf, I have to say have quized nearly 10 people who have bought this rep and assessment seems to differ in some ways. Many in agreement with you on some aspects but some varying info on others?.
(Just to add I don't own the watch yet so my disclaimer is I confirm none of this is true)
...
Mainly hearing: crystal, great, considerable better than V5, but no gen. Very good AR all the same.?
Bracelet, much better than V5, obviously different factory to V5, endlinks much better, midlinks much better and very close to gen, mixed a little on clasp, seems lesser quality, some have said it fell apart, other said pretty good, but not much better than V5 clasp.?
Crown/tube, much better than V5, no comparison really almost all said very solid with lots of turns....on the flip side, of the 3 42mm CrPOs I've seen, none had a good crown/tube, most had crown tube like a bad V5 ..(while the 45mm CrPO I had had great crown/tube....sods law)! ? I had hoped they sorted out the crown/tube issue that plagued V5s, could you explain how it's bad, how many turns/sturdiness/seems like it's about to strip etc??
Most of the rest were in agreement with you. I just find the differences interesting, will have to buy the rep and take a look at it I think![]()
