Key point we all missed so far!

Debate revolves around "pilot assesment" but "replacement" should have been the issue.

Under your scenario, there is no replacement of reported RVR, no RVR is reported.

xxx/125/125 - count 8 lights and fly (if certified for 125 m ops)
> required RVR is obtained in all parts as required by EU OPS

xxx/150/150 - count 8 lights and fly (if certified for 125 m ops)
> required RVR is obtained in all parts as required by EU OPS

xxx/150/150 - count 10 lights and fly (certified for 150 m ops only)
> required RVR is obtained in all parts as required by EU OPS


more from top of my head:

125/150/150 - count 10 lights and fly (certified for 150 m ops only)
> first REPORTED value is REPLACED by pilot assesment, for 150m and more this is allowed

100/125/125 - no go (if certified for 125 m ops)
> under specific additional rules for 125 m ops, RVR must be achieved but pilot replacement of reported RVR is no longer an option

patchy fog, 200/800/2000, pilot can see down the runway - fly (no LVTO approval)
> first REPORTED value is REPLACED by pilot assesment, for 150m and more this is allowed

patchy fog, 150/125/125, pilot can see 4 lights only - no go (if certified for 125 m ops)
> condition of visual 90 m segment not met.

Opinions pls?
