Some more pictures of my newest arrival. Also, on the asian eta clone 2824-2, do they still stamp it as 2824-2 and the ETA symbol? I have attached a picture of the movement with the stamping on mine.
That looks amazing! Can we have a straight shot of the dial?
Movement looks like a Seagull ST2130, at least the decorations are Seagull like.
Am I correct?
What I can tell you is that there is no Seagull in BP, mine has Hangzhou which is a little problematic.
And from what I know Noob has new Swiss movements, so Asian movements are also very likely to be the most quality ones they can get, and that are Seagulls.

My lmpo does have a extremely inaccurate movement. Both my v5po and my CrPO (swiss) is +/- 4-5 seconds in any angle. My lmpo was +22 seconds, and got worse if i changed the angle.
Ive tried to adjust the lmpo, and its now running -4 sec when the angle is horizontal. When the angle is twisted i bit, its starting to go faster and faster stopping at +26 sec.
Im using timegrapher 1000

I don't have a micrometer to measure the thickness, but I'm sure that someone here does and can measure theirs.
Thanks, I suck at taking straight on pictures but I will give it a go later if I have a chance before I fly out.
My V5 is exactly 15.0mm, LMPO shouldn't be that different.
And at 175g it is really the heaviest and thickest watch my 6.3" wrist can handle.
Which V5 did you go for Grimreaper? most reports on here here seem to say that the asian 4813 movement is the most reliable, wondering what you have and how reliable its been?
Did you go through Trevor?
I bought it from Toro.
As you see in my sig, I have almost every possible movement, all are from BP factory.
DG4813
When I got it I thought it would be the best, everything worked as it should.
But later I had great trouble with hacking, when I put the crown back in, the movement wouldn't start.
After a few tries, it finally started to work again.
I will see how it handles today.
Asian ETA
It sometimes doesn't want to unhack, but it works after a try or three.
Winding is rough.
Isochronism is also not very good, but it doesn't differ more than 5s through it's power reserve.
refurbished Swiss ETA
Rotor rattles and setting of time is rough.
But other than that, I expect this watch to work for quite a few years.
And it is very precise, so I guess Swiss is better than Asian in general, but of course there can also be Asian that are better than Swiss.
So it is very hard for me to say which one to go for, I guess I would need at least 5 of each movements to tell you that.
Swiss ETA
Of course not one problem whatsoever, everything works smooth.
I can't tell you the factory, but I got it from Hont, so I have asked him now who makes it. But it is probably some unknown factory, because the watch is not very good, altough it costed $294.
EDIT:
DG4813 now hacked and unhacked more than 10 times without problems, maybe it was just a one time problem.
I also don't know why there are such problems with stripped crowns, mine practically screws itself.
And this is the answer I got from Hont about my Swiss ETA Aqua Terra:

I had the same issue with mine. Has anyone else had this happen where the end links just break apart? I am very nervous that this is going to happen one day while I am wearing the watch and it is going to fall to the floor.
Has anyone founf another PO bracelet that will fit the LMPO and if so where can I get one?
I have the same issues with the bracelet. I was told by Joshua at Perfect Clones that the bracelet for this PO will fit.

They will sell separately for $90 delivered.
I have not personally purchased this, but considering it. Please post if anyone goes this way or finds a high quality bracelet.

This looks like it's the Ceramic PO bracelet. I didn't realize those would fit the LMPO. Can anyone else confirm the Ceramic PO bracelet is compatible with the LMPO?
Ooft. I was asking TD about bracelets for the LMPO and he said the quality wasn't bad at all. Eagerly anticipating your pictures. Main question is whether there are any big problems aside from resizing.
I also could not wait any longer and pulled the trigger on this watch. Here it is. Not perfect but IMHO up there with the better ones. It's on it's way now. This is a QC pic, but already approved.

Looks pretty damn good to me. Let's hope they've started to sort out the bracelet issues on these...
The watch just arrived. Wow it is spectacular indeed. the photos really do not reflect how classy and shiny this watch looks. It's definitely got significant tells like imperfect lume application and the slanted numbering, but in terms of overall sexiness LMPO definitely takes the cake.
Bracelet is not tool-breakingly hard to adjust if you push out from the side opposite to the arrows. Clasp requires a large amount of pressure to click in, but once in it's impenetrably stable.
With regards to the date window, whilst it's depressed more than in gen, the overall effect is a more 3d look, especially with the shadowing around the edges, which is not too bad.
Tl;dr not perfectly replicated, which is well established, but the LMPO is more classy than the CrPO, which is already a great looking piece.

Wow, who was the TD? that one looks great
I use Ryan as my TD. By far my favourite.
What do you mean when adjusting the bracelet. Do we have to take the pin out on the side the arrow does not point to? So therefor inserting the bracelet pin remover in the hole where the arrow points to?
