arancini 0 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking of dropping some cash on the PAM 127 rep. from Toro. http://www.torobravo...&product_id=178 Hesitant however after reading a few problems with Crystal distortion on the latest batch of watches. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pcteam-latest-noob-112606.html?p=1102995 Anyone own one of these reps. that they've purchased recently? Any feedback appreciated. Edited September 27, 2012 by arancini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arancini 0 Posted September 27, 2012 For anyone else wondering or interested, have received word that there are problems with "some" of the Noob factory crystals on the PAM 127Fiddy Rep. and to wait for the new version/model. Happy Days. Not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardMiami 4 Posted September 27, 2012 why not just ask Toro to find you one without that issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arancini 0 Posted September 27, 2012 why not just ask Toro to find you one without that issue? That's a good idea. Might try that. Cheers. But then again, my understanding is he has no say regarding the batches that are delivered to him. Just don't want to drop US$400 (inc. postage) for a dodgy crystal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trksh-bzr 3 Posted September 27, 2012 Second batch had wrong distortion. I think we're on batch 3 now, right? I don't know if were back to the good x tals, but i fear that were not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toro is one of our Trusted Dealers. I have made similar requests to our TDs before, and they have taken the trouble to pick out a good copy of the watch I want, or else they tell me to stay away. It is why the TDs are so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arancini 0 Posted September 27, 2012 Okay, Good to know. Thanks very much for that info. Richard. Still walking with a guide dog and cane through the world of Reps. so any light shed much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickdangerous 0 Posted September 27, 2012 Does this affect 127 only or 217 as well? Is it ok for first time customers to ask Toro to pick one with a good crystal or that will rub him the wrong way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALE7575 24 Posted September 28, 2012 This issue affects only PAM 127 and we don't know why. We cannot trust either dealers or maker about if the crystal is correct at this moment. Because they have a big problem with all released current batch. ans, moreover they don't know well the problem. We wiil have future problems to find and assure the correct purchases of PAM 127 ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baxter 6 Posted November 12, 2012 Toro told me not in stock at the moment but he would put me on the list. So i guess i won't hold my breath for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arancini 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Toro told me not in stock at the moment but he would put me on the list. So i guess i won't hold my breath for now. Probably a good idea. I've been waiting for a month now. Toro has been excellent though and offered to refund my money if I want to opt out. The wait continues.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooler 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Is it obvious by looking at the watch if there is a problem with crystal?. If so what is the tell? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prancuzas 0 Posted November 13, 2012 i have a story where other dealers (mentioned above) were able to source one watch in 3days. Toro was getting me that watch for 5 weeks and finally refunded, so you might wanna check other dealers before getting on his "waiting list" Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grb 1 Posted November 13, 2012 Surely anything that protrudes out of the case this much is susceptible to damage, no one will ever know that's it's not just carelessness. Get one cus it's pretty nice, but don't go bashing it about. What say you Greg, Del etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
