My bronze beauty

Recommended Posts

Got this stunner from Toro yesterday.

 

The build quality is super and the bronze is already developing a nice patina. The bezel has a firm click, but is a bit 'vague' in-between clicks. I took it off to have a look and it only has one 'click mechanism' at the 7 o clock position. At the 1 o clock position there is a small spring which puts upward pressure on the bezel to keep things tight fitting. Overall the watch is great.

 

I 'aged' the leather strap a bit to give a more vintage look.

 

The bronze is typically soft, so I expect it'll gain a good amount of character over time.

I love this watch!

I bought mine from a TD and still waiting for it to arrive. How do you like the dial? After paying I noticed the Gen seems to have raised letters on the dial and the reps seem to have printed letters :(.

It's great, I wear it often. I'm sure there are small differences from the gen, it is a fraction of the cost after all.

The only difference I can see is that the rep has a copper bace. If you polish the watch it comes out very coppery in colour. You can see what I mean by looking at a gen strap and the rep below.
