BigsCG 0 Posted December 27, 2012 It was all going so well until the Invicta appeared . Only joking. Enjoy your Pam, it will the first of many ! I thought the same until I saw the Alabama hat! Invicta & the Tide were made for each other! Nice choice on the rep though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Invicta & the Tide were made for each other! Nice choice on the rep though! Well now this is getting a bit personal. I used the Invicta as a reference scale and i dont think it has got anything to do with my affiliations towards a particular game or team. That statement makes no sense. R u trying to make racial comments?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acid_luving 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Congrats! Like others have said, you have come into reps at a great time. Plus they're costing around 100 usd less than they did a little over a year ago. FWIW, the strap that came with your 111 is pretty accurate to its gen version. Here's a the gen version on my watch... Thanks for the info but the replica strap has a cheap feel to it. i.e. the finish is not that good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulder 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Very nice watch you got there. I often thought about putting a leather strap on mine but have left the metal one on since I bought it. I may have to change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R u trying to make racial comments?? Ah, you must not be a real Alabama fan. SEC fans are supposed to pick fun at each other and expect it from others. Vol fan here, so there's quite a bit to make fun of. The joke was aimed at your taste. Why would you even bring up race? Is Invicta a racial thing I don't know about? The proper response now is to make fun of how the VOLS suck. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info but the replica strap has a cheap feel to it. i.e. the finish is not that good The gen strap feels the same way. It's made with a very thin layer of the dyed leather over a low grade inner padded layer. The rep has the same construction. The OEM gator straps are made to a higher standard. This is why most gen owners leave the calf strap in the box and put on the diver or go aftermarket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emartin 0 Posted January 7, 2013 Superb watch, this is the exact same one I want. On the web TORO website, there are two choice of movement: Asian 6497 or platinium plated Swiss ETA-6497 for 170$ more, wich one did you get? Thanks, Emmanuel Martin http://www.torobravos.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Emmanuel Martin http://www.torobravo...t&product_id=87 Hi emartin , I got the Asian 6497 movement. this is because this was my first replica and I after reading other members' posts I found that the Asian 6497 is built like a tank and is very reliable. You wont go wong with Toro. Order it and enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiefanatc 16 Posted January 8, 2013 Also, if you are looking for the accuracy comparable to the GEN then you'll want the 6497 as the GEN 111 is a handwind as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs1986 0 Posted March 9, 2013 What do you think of the strap now that it has break in probably, you still think is junk or is like someone mentioned, it has the same feeling of the gen?? I'm interested in this to decide rubber versus calf leather... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buy a nice strap from a trusted and switch to the rubber when you want to dress down a bit. You will not be disappointed. Same as gen or not, it feels and looks like pleather IMO. I wish I had went with rubber. GL!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have any experience with manbushij straps although I remember reading something positive (and then someone pointing out you are wearing a Man Bush on your arm) I'm sporting an eel strap from D straps on my 111.

I absolutely love it. Nice, too, but too dressy for what I want now. I´ll comment about the manbushijie one (I´ll name it like that until we know the factory) when I receive it. And if it's not comfortable, at least it looks great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
