I have been wearing it on SS for about 8 hrs straight. That must mean it is special lol. Love it. It is an old one which it better than the new BP. Better CGs etc. It feels very comfortable.
If been thinking hard on one but I really want a 42 LMPO

That's a tough one. The SMPc has been on my wish list for months. The LMPO was my second rep :) It would take a lot for me to consider selling the LMPO. The BP SMPc is more comfortable so far with a bracelet that does not take a stick of dynamite to re size. However the LMPO is a real stunner. This one is nearly as stunning I think. Both the LMPO and the SMPc make the CrPO look boring lol.

I know this does not help but : you have to buy both lol.

Here's my Super Franken Planet Ocean. Everything is Gen except the crystal and a couple of the links. The movement is a franken between gen 1120 and a Swiss 2892-A2. Keeps perfect time.

You need more Omegas in your life. I have 7 Reps + 1 gen. I have bought my wife 2 gens. So you might say I kind of have a bias lol.

You just answered my question from the other thread. I thought it looked like the old better crown guards. They started using crappy cases

I've been gathering the parts for it over the last year, although it's only been finished since about July of this year

I prefer these to the ceramic planet ocean. Well done it's lovely. What exactly is the movement then? Is it a 2892 with just some of the cal 1120 upgrades?

I love my CrPO, but have heard the LMPO may have another run also. Hope the rumors are true. I would not hesitate to add that to my collection as that is what I really wanted to begin with.

Well, that's the million dollar question. I bought a franken 1120 Omega movement that had been merged with a Swiss blvgari movement to create a seconds at six, and strodda removed the seconds at six module and replaced it with a Swiss ETA piece to bring it back to 100% Swiss and mostly omega. I think he also replaced the main plate after a jewel broke on it, he had it apart probably 15 times over 5 months. The HEV is sealed, or id have replaced that as well. I think I actually bought Gen HEV for it, lol. In all, these are the gen parts.

Dial
Hands
Crown/tube
Case back
Bezel and insert
Clasp
Datewheel
Franken Swiss movement
9 links (not endlinks)
Gaskets and bezel springs
I even sprang for the gen movement holder! ($50 piece of brass)

Only missing the crystal and case.


I have way too much money into it. I might let it go so I can put more money into my gun collection, lol.
