Yeah a looks like they are finally getting there. Now for the second pause....Can the bracelet resizing be done at home?

Yes, you can resize yourself but I highly recommend a quality pin pusher with spare pins. A jewellers hammer would also come in handy when are putting it all back together. Not compulsory though. The DIY guide sticky above explains it well. :)

Or just give a good jeweler $10 and let them do it. lol..

Which TD can provide us the finest for this watch. I will go for it, I just skeptical which TD would take the effort to find me a good piece without minor flaws.

The most important tool, is the thing you put the bracelet in to hold it straight. If not straight, pin will bend and get stuck.
And hammer tool is more powerful when working on a straight bracelet and pin

I know Angus from Puretime is the man when it comes to Noob watches.
But I don't know how patient he is.

got mine today, lume on 3 is f...ed, not a BIG deal, but a little bit irritating since everything else looks ok.

- Lmpo Bracelet feels and sounds cheap, v5po bracelet is better.

AR and lume is very good. Bezel operates smooth, but the bezel markers an numbers is kind of difficult to see in most light conditions. I dont know how the gen bezel is.

The lume fault on 3 on my lmpo is not easy to spot. It took me actually some hours to notice it, when i took some pics of it i noticed it.

Overall, im happy with my purchase

After using it for a while, i can confirm that the lmpo is an outstanding beauty. Its by far the best looking watch ive ever had.

Thanks to Sead for providing

ETA clones can easily be regulated to +2s per day, if you are patient +1s is also not hard to achieve. Any better, it is just pure luck and a lot of patience.

I have CrPO with +2 and a v5po asian which is +2

And when I finally get a superb rep, the movement is not that accurate, typically :p

After a few days of wearing my LMPO, here's some quick photos and impressions.

Good:
+Wonderful crystal with superb AR
+Nice, well finished hands
+Accurate movement (not measured, but not many secs off per day)
+Good crown movement
+Sweet, glossy dial and bezel
+Nice fit and finish
+Decent lume

Bad:
-Bracelet is incredibly hard to resize, broke two bracelet tools and destroyed three links in the process. Be careful when using a jewellers hammer when putting back pins, links break easily :(
-Applied markers and logo a little crooked, but not noticeable when on arm
-A little back play on the bezel, but not too bad
-Caseback not looking too good
-Tiny end link gaps

All in all, a really, really nice watch!

Thank you very much for this, will come handy when I will be buying the watch.
Yeah, Noob uses nice movements. Judging by decorations, this is a Seagull ST2130, which is practically the same as Swiss ETA.
On contrary, BP movements are all subpar, both Asian and Swiss.
