"The Official Planet Ocean Club"

I know this is not the right place to post this (maybe it is?) but since I had no luck so far, I will share my pain with my fellow PO lovers...I'm still searching for a 45mm Pumpkin crpo with no luck. I thought I finally got one when the TD sent me an email and said they got one, I ordered both 42 and 45 sizes to see which one I like better (tho I knew 45mm was gonna steal my heart, I wanted to find an excuse to keep the 42mm one )...having said that turns out the 45mm one that he found was a 42mm too and now I have 2 of them coming...smh. I may still keep them both BUT, if you happen to have a 45mm crpo pumpkin that is not getting enough wrist time, or you decided that orange is not your color anymore or you just simply wanted to make my day/year...please let me know (or if you know a guy who knows a guy..sorta thing)

Cheers folks

My man,
It is TOTALLY fine with me that you posted your unfortunate dual acquisition here.
Although I did not create this club (was about to but did a quick search and found this old thread from back in 2013) I tried to revive it and would like to think I am sort of the steward of it here. It has kind of become my baby

I will keep an eye on the forums as well and if something pops up, I'll try to remember to let you know. Hopefully others to see this will also.
So I suppose welcome to the club.
Twice? LOL!

By the way, when they come in, be sure and post up some pictures! I'd love to see them as pumpkins are my favorite [emoji106][emoji316]

Thank you so much buddy, I really appreciate it (and thank you for resurrecting the thread and keeping it alive, this is one of my fav threads and among the few I am subscribed). As far as joining the club goes, pumpkin is the only version I am missing (need to do better job in posting pics of my crpos ) and I am waiting to acquire the pumpkin for a group shot

Thanks again for support buddy

I have a couple of pumpkins and a CRPO.
Still need me a LMPO for my own family portrait

My SMP will have to be a chair filler for now.
Atleast they are all SeaMasters [emoji924]

That's a well diversified and good looking family buddy

As much as I would like to add it to my collection, I'm refusing to buy LMPO and protesting Noob's strategy (not that they care about what I think but I am hoping that I'm not alone and there will be some noise at some point) of not fixing any known and easily fixable issues. I mean, they chose to do nothing for this version...how difficult is it to fix the orange second hand tip? As if adopting a flawed version and choosing not to update anything, they also did put a big price tag on it simply bc there is a fan base. Oh well, I can go on and on about it but these are only my humble thoughts.

I agree abound the LMPO.
I want one,
But not that bad.
And it's pushed preowned ones into that price range also.
Until that price goes down or they update it, I suppose I'll keep buying pumpkins and CRPOs since you can find them for well under the LMPOs asking price most of the time.

I honestly prefer the crops over LMPO but it s a personal preference of course

Me too but these are MY Pokémon game.
Got to catch them all. LOL!
And with these, the odds of walking in front of a car or train or off a cliff is fairly small.
Much better game. LOL

I absolutely love it! I got this and an AP RO in the same order and haven't been able to take this off - feels great and the shine off it is superb in daylight.

Travelling EU at the moment and stateside in January so getting some use out of the GMT too!

Once that PO is on your wrist, if you're anything like me, it's going to be a very slippery slope [emoji23]

Today i've seen in a boutique the Gen 43.5 Po "MASTER CHRONOMETER" It doesn't seem to be very different from a crPO 45.5 except for bezel marks, dial, and 600m/2000ft in Orange.
Does anyone know if it has a different movement or any mechanichal difference?
It is 800€ more expensive than the crPO.
Would be nice to ser it repped[emoji1]

Hey buddy, 42mm was (and I'm sure it still is) in stock from every TD I checked. 45mm is another story but you shouldn't have any issues with the 42mm. If you still do, shoot me a pm and I'll send you a few links.

Got a couple answers from various TDs, pumpkin 42mm is pretty rare now, a single TD had it in stock. Black bezel 42mm are available from most TDs.

Still I'm not sure if I should pick up the 42mm or the 45mm. For example, my beater is a 39mm Explorer and it fits perfectly on my wrist, as well as the 41mm 15400.

After deciding that I liked the 45mm over the 42mm, I sold my first 42mm crpo to another great member (@Dr. Mike) here...well, so much for that (sellers remorse hit first followed by my OCD...and here we are) [MENTION=131396]pdw1[/MENTION]...a little teaser for you buddy

Will post a full family pic with the big brothers when I return from the business trip (I'm trying to leave my place to catch plane yet I find time to take and post this pic...lol RWI addiction!)

Only missing PO is the 45 pumpkin...spread the word fellows and let's reunite my PO family

Have a great week y'all!

If your daily driver is 39 and feel comfortable with your 41mm, you will be perfectly fine with the 42. I'm more use to wearing 44s so 42 looked and felt little but after a while, I really started to like that piece too and well, see above post lol. You can't go wrong with the 42...it is the safest choice. And if you are looking for a pumpkin, 45 is almost impossible to find anyways (ask me...I know!)

Go with the 42mm, you won't regret it (and sounds like 45 would feel very unfamiliar and big if you are used to wearing 39s and 41s)
