Congrats on the purchase. I want to buy the same watch as fast as possible (especially them being on sale right now). But Being a complete Newbie, i still try to figure out which movement to take. The stuttering second hand of the reliabel (i guess) miyota 8215 or the 2836 movement... Arrr.

For the record,
I've never had any trouble from either movement :)

If I think about it, I can trace this addiction directly to your posts @efthimis ! You should be on commission/the marketing team for TDs with pictures like that [emoji23][emoji106]?
I enjoy this watch so much!!! Yes I should but I am happy to see people enjoy it as much as I do!
That's what made me want the CrPO.. I've done so well at avoiding it [emoji20] lol

Why avoid it??? For me I am telling you this might be the perfect PO, I wish it was a bit thinner like the UPO but at the end it has it's own character and a gorgeous to wear and look... just give in and be happy lolololol!!!

Have you tried on the new ones from the A.D.? The 43 something millimeter or 42 or whatever it is is lower. They took some of the height out of it. When they start repping that size, I'm sure it will be lower also.

I've read around, and for those of you who have a 42mm PO franken project - is it true that the OEM xtal slips right into the rep?

For the 42, yes It does. I don't think it does in the 45. Have you looked around at the planet ocean franken section? You can view a bunch of builds. It's inspiring! Lol

But I agree. This will be a PERFECT size. I may stop in to the AD to try them on.

I have, but I have also read others that req'd mods so I'm just curious. ::[emoji16]:: I know this isn't the thread for this question, but figured I'd lob it up and see what's what. Cheers!

No I didn't try those out and will not until some good version comes out.. I become picky lately which is normal after sometime spent in the Rep forums.. for now I have the Spectre on the way and maybe will check on some speedies sooner or later down the road

I meant like I hope the date was just changing days when the picture was taken.. since the time is after 11, and the date sits so low!

Haha!
Yea. They had just gotten it. Never had been set.
Noticed it too and wanted to fix it for the photo but didn't want to mess with a still plastiwrapped gen Omega since I wasn't buying that day. :/
To be honest. I wasn't very impressed with it.
Didn't like the size or the fact that they lowered it or how deep the date was set.
Basically, I liked the 42mm & 45mm 2016 versions of it sitting next to it better.
Glad I tried it out though. Now I know :)
